This photograph from 1935 shows the triangle shaped block on the west side of Pacific Avenue that is bounded by South 17th and Jefferson. The General Petroleum Corporation had recently purchased the Depot Service Station that had occupied the block since 1919. They remodeled the building, and put in new pumps - but they kept the name. The Depot Station went through the hands of a number of owners over the years, but it remained standing from 1919 until 2002. This photograph also shows the Carlton and Massasoit Hotels on Jefferson.

Agency of the National Bank of Tacoma. A crowd is gathered at the door of the branch office of the National Bank of Tacoma, 713 So. 38th St., in the John Griffith building. On February 7, 1925, branch bank manager Harry Schmidt was shot in the back and robbed in front of the bank while transporting money by streetcar. The bandits made off in an automobile with $3400. The National Bank of Tacoma then closed both of its branch agencies, here and on K St., citing the lack of security available when transporting money and the risk to employees. The K St. branch had been robbed the previous December. (TDL 2/8/1925, pg. 1; TNT 2/7/1925, pg. 1- picture) (filed with Argentum)
