Scope and content
ca. 1890. This house was built in 1889 for Henry Hewitt Jr., one of the founders of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co. Designed by Andrew J. Smith, it was considered to be one of the finest houses in Tacoma. The three story "castle" was occupied by several Hewitts, as well as Edgar T. Short and E. E. Rhodes. It was demolished in 1957 to make way for a parking lot for the Central Lutheran Church.
