Summary

[edit]
Description

Tacoma has many historic buildings and districts. Stadium High School is very ornate because it wasn't originally planned to be a school. In the 1890s a railroad started it as this grand hotel. Then an economic panic of 1893 halted the scheme. A fire burned the inside, but brick walls, 5 foot thick at the base, remained. Around 1903 local citizens talked school district into restoring it as a high school. The place has been a gem ever since.

My friend Ted Gemberling went to high school there.
