Part of Richards Studio Photographs
ca. 1887. Copy exposure of historical print. This copy of a historical print shows a view of Tacoma from the tideflats just south of "The Boot" circa 1887. In the distance near left is the (first) Central School with tower, located at South 11th & "G" Sts. The imposing Tacoma Hotel, 913 A Street, is at the far right. Pilings indicate the area that must be filled so that railroad tracks and warehouses could eventually be built. The future site of the City Waterway (now Foss Waterway) lies beyond the fallen timber and tree stumps. Copy made August 31, 1950.
