At Facebook at Historic Tacoma December 17. 2019:Across 21st Street from the Three Bridges Building (posted about recently) is another bit of Tacoma's architectural legacy and an architectural cousin to The Spar Tavern building in Old Town, the RealArt Theater in South Tacoma and the much-discussed Holy Rosary Church. Built in 1914, it too was designed by the architects Charles Lundberg & C. Frank Mahon. Originally a drug store and barbershop, it now houses Coates Chiropractic and other businesses. It still has a barbershop!
My comment in Historic Tacoma's Comments section included a photo of Tide Literary Magazine from the College of Puget Sound, an advertising section that included Gord Barbershop. My uncle was a barber at Gord Barbershop.
Another commenter could see The Spar in Old Town in this building. Another of the issues with the Gord Barbershop advertisement featured a manger scene on the cover, at the holiday season now, it is to share.
