What's not to like about a flatiron building? One has to wonder what were they thinking when they laid out the streets in such a fashion as to require this kind of building to have a place? It was built in 1889 by Dr. Henry Clay Bostwick, Tacoma's first practicing physician and later bank president. Local members of the Loyal Legion of the United States, and early veterans group, once assembled here and in 1893 supposedly launched the tradition of standing and doffing one's had during the national anthem. The Bostwick Building was originally a hotel. It is currently undergoing renovations. It is a wonderful piece of history in an historic downtown Tacoma, Washington.
