EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1895, showcases a scenic view of Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington State, USA. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the bustling urban landscape of this historic city. The tall building on the left, with its grand architecture and imposing presence, is the Tacoma City Hall. A symbol of civic pride and progress, the City Hall housed the offices of the city government and was a testament to the ambition and vision of Tacoma's early settlers. Across the street, the chief hotel of the time stands proudly, its two stories offering respite and hospitality to weary travelers. The hotel's ornate facade, with its intricate details and elegant design, reflects the sophistication and refinement of the era. The vibrant energy of the city is further accentuated by the horse-drawn carriages and people milling about on the sidewalks. The streetcars, a common mode of transportation during this period, can be seen making their way down the avenue, adding to the sense of movement and activity. The photograph captures the essence of Tacoma during its formative years, a time of growth, innovation, and optimism. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and its enduring spirit, which continues to thrive and evolve to this day.
