Scope and content
ca. 1936. The lobby of the new Tacoma Hotel, formerly known as the Tacoma Hotel Annex. The annex served as the Tacoma Hotel after the main historic building at 913 A St. was destroyed by fire in October of 1935. The annex opened as the Tacoma Hotel in January of 1936, after extensive remodeling. Photograph shows the reception desk, Colonial furniture, clock on wall, many flowers, the candy counter and what appears to be a wooden phone booth to the right. Walls are decorated with a 3/4 faux stone work finish and plaques of "coats of arms" and stenciling at the ceiling level. The plaques were salvaged from the original hotel. The many bouquets of fresh flowers are in honor of the hotel's opening. (T. Times 1/21/1936, pg. 8-9)
