Title	Marvin D. Boland Collection BOLAND-B24357
Description	This is how the Merit Building, 315 So. 11th St., appeared near the close of 1931. Built in 1909, it housed the Merit Hotel (new in 1915) and the Hollywood Apparel Shop, Miller Furs, and the Olympic Dairy Store & Ice Cream Parlor. The Rhodes Bros. Department Store is on the right and the Market Street Drug Store on the left of the business block. The primary tenant, the Hotel Merit, opened in November of 1915 in its location near Market St. It contained 70 rooms newly furnished in mahogany and oak and hot and cold water in each room. The small hotel furnished its lobby in wicket and its smoking room, located just off the lobby, in oak and leather. H.K. Slauter was the hotel's proprietor. He was a former salesman with the Suter Jewelry store in Seattle. (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, 12-5-15, p. 28)
