Scope and content
ca. 1936. Thomas Strom, Sr. (2nd from left) and the whole staff of Strom's Grocery posed for this photograph in 1936. Strom's I.G.A. Grocery occupied part of the first floor retail section of Normanna Hall, 1502 So. K St. (now Martin Luther King Jr. Way). Tacoma's Norwegian community began planning and fund raising for their own building in 1914. Over 700 attended when Normanna Hall was finally dedicated in March of 1923. Thomas Strom, Jr., is on the far right. Next to him is his mother Anna; his sister Prudence stands next to a John I. Ness. Thomas Strom, Sr., is behind the delivery truck. A man tentatively identified as Eric Linder rests his arm against the grocery truck. TPL-8775
