Several men, including three employees, wearing long aprons, pose, standing in front of the building. A dog lies on the sidewalk. Four women pose on the second-floor open balcony extending across the front. Two men sit atop a three horse-drawn carriage, with Villard House on the top, on the dirt road in front of the building. A man on horseback is nearby.
He can’t recall the date of the hotel (he said 70s…and in 1870s there was only Old Tacoma, “new” Tacoma arrived in 1880s), but he remembers every spot he went fishing.
I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about this! During the early 2000s, I worked in the Bank of America building that is now located here (not BoA anymore, but was called that in the early 2000s).
According to Google maps, yes. It’s an office building now. Behind the Hotel Olympus building.
There are some women on the porch. There are a few guys wearing white aprons. My guess would be a hotel with a bar or barbershop.
It’s interesting to see the number of people standing in front of the picture- this must have been exciting when the area was being developed.
I know someone who works in the building now and would be a cool office piece.
