| Copy of original photograph of reportedly Pierce County's seat in Steilacoom. Copy was made in November, 1963, as requested by the Town of Steilacoom. The Territorial Legislature of Oregon created the County of Pierce out of Thurston County in December, 1852, and located the county seat in Steilacoom. The Colonial above was built in 1859 to replace the original courthouse built in 1853 which was destroyed by fire. After the county seat was moved to Tacoma in 1880, this became the Steilacoom Normal Academy and later was occupied by the Steilacoom Library Association. J.W. Barclay purchased the building and used it as his private residence and then converted the building into a theater. It was demolished in 1933. By the time this photograph was taken, the building was in poor shape with dilapidated roof, broken window panes and boarded side windows. Back of photograph is stamped "Assessor's Office Property." |
