New Life
This is Alfred's Cafe in downtown Tacoma, WA. It started its life as Brunswick Hotel in 1888 and was moved down the hill to the current Site in 1907 to make room for what is now the Freighthouse Square. Alfred's has had many businesses on the first floor, some of them include restaurants, taverns, saloons,cigar shops,barbershops and some accounts say a bordello was in its past. The building has been renovated and is a very nice looking piece of history. I had a distant relative by marriage that was named Alfred that had been one of the owners in the past and I believe that is where the current name has came from. DSC_4715_C-HDR-1
