The Terry Building

I couldn't resist snapping a picture of this building because it bears the name of my sister. The shop on the first floor is a Yarn store.....imagine that!

A saloon was torn down at this site in 1890 and Fred Terry built the current one. It originally housed a print shop, served as a boarding house and contained a Chinese laundry in the basement. In 1903, the first phone company in town moved in followed by Citizens Electric, Pacific Telephone and Telegraph and a tailor shop. It then stood vacant for many years and then purchased and restored in 1981. The basement has been occupied by a tavern/restaurant for 20 years. The building's recessed doorways are flanked by cast iron from Port Townsend Foundry which protected the wooden doors from the weather.
