Tualatin Hotel
Title
Tualatin Hotel
Description
Sepia-toned image of a two-story, cross-gabled building with covered porches along both floors on the front. A man sits on a bench on the porch in front of the hotel, just outside the open door, and another man in a suit and a Panama-style hat stands on the porch. A young boy stands, arms akimbo, on the boardwalk in front of the hotel. A large banner covers most of the second-story porch railing and reads, '25 Best Meals in the City, Prompt Service. Try Us Once and You Will Call Again. 25.' Just beyond that a sign protrudes from the same railing. It reads, 'Tualatin Hotel.' Just beneath that sign is parked a four seater automobile with a cover and large spoked wheels that are larger in the back than the front. It features brass lamps and other fixtures on the front. The road is plank, and a large maple tree in full leaf obscures most of the other half of the building.
