Stadium High School. Designed by A. B. Hewitt in the French chateau style and perched on a bluff overlooking Commencement Bay, Stadium High School is the rebuilt shell of what was planned as a great tourist hotel by the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. The Tacoma Land Co.'s Tourist Hotel was built on a site costing $86, 000. The 240 x 250 foot five story edifice was slow in construction due to confines in financing caused by the 1893 Depression. When near completion, the $750,000 hotel was gutted by a fire October 12, 1898. Because of the high cost of rebuilding, it was abandoned as a hotel and in 1903 was proposed as a high school. The top 2 floors were removed, it was remodeled and in 1906 opened as the new Tacoma High School. The Old Woman's Gulch adjacent to the school was converted into a stadium. The name was changed to Stadium High School in 1913. The building is on the city, state and national historical registers and has been captured on film in "Ten Things I Hate About You." TPL-8382
