This Picture is 'Twin" to 'Mystery Photo'
The files at the News Tribune contained this picture identified only as the Woman's Club House, until the publication two weeks ago of a 'mystery photo' with a plea for identification. Now the date and subject of the photo are somewhat established.
The Woman's Club House stood at 426 Broadway until 1961. It had been a gathering place for Tacomans, containing large halls, sitting rooms and dining areas for teas and luncheons and had belonged to the Tacoma Woman's Club House Association since 1915.

All That's Left
The three-story Woman's Club House at 426 Broadway, a Tacoma landmark since the turn of the century, has been razed and only the granite foundations still stand. The wrecking of the frame building brought to light murals reminiscent of "The Student Prince" painted on the basement walls.

ca. 1954. The photograph of this very contemporary rambler styled home with many picture windows was probably taken in the summer of 1954. The one-story home had a extended, wide driveway and may have been located in the growing suburbs outside Tacoma city limits. The home, #8803, had a partially fenced yard and was surrounded by trees and shrubs. TPL-8313

ca. 1953. A young girl in a frilly pinafore and a baby gaze wide eyed at the camera while she holds a winter squash in this circa 1953 photograph. Kitchen cabinets and an egg carton on a shelf can be seen in the background. The barefoot baby sits in a high chair with a large tray and wears a bib. His sister seems intent on giving him the squash for lunch while suppressing giggles with her fingers at her mouth. Copy of a customer's print. Sepia.

ca. 1953. This aerial view of the northeast section of the Tacoma tideflats from 1953 shows part of the Port of Tacoma, lower left, and the 185-acre Port Industrial Yard which was acquired by the Port in 1959. Five mothballed WWII baby flattops are moored in the Port Industrial Waterway. The incomplete Port Industrial Waterway bridge, later named the Blair Bridge, can be seen at the right. The bridge opened for traffic on November 14, 1953. The bridge is 712 feet long with a 40 foot roadway and 5 feet of sidewalk on one side only. It has a clearance at high tide of 12 feet. There is a 150 foot channel between the main piers for the passage of shipping vessels. The two main channel piers are 45 x 55 foot and house the operating machinery, counterweights and electrical equipment for opening and closing the span drawbridge. They are the equivalent in height, measured both above & below the water, to a seven story building. The cost of the bridge was $1,600,000. (TNT 11/13/1953, special section #D)

Dr. Harold C. Nickelsen was able to add a mountain goat to his already well-stocked trophy room. Dr. Nickelsen shot the goat during the season in British Columbia with one shot from 450 yards using a thirty-ought-six rifle with scope sight. The goat weighed an estimated 250 pounds and had an exceptionally good set of horns. This sepia photograph was taken in November, 1952. (TNT, 11/2/1952, p.B-15)
