Scope and content
ca. 1910. View of Tacoma taken by a camera pointed south from a location on the steep slope between So. Cliff Ave. and Pacific Ave. at about So. 4th St.. The photograph clearly shows the railroad yard (called the "half moon yard"), the Tacoma tideflats, and Mount Rainier in the distance. There is a banner hangling over Pacific Ave. that reads "You'll Like Tacoma." The old Tacoma City Hall stands at the far right with the Northern Pacific Headquarters Bldg. on the other side of the street. TPL-9631
