Shaw designed this distinctive commercial block in the Italian Renaissance Revival style in 1928, apparently as a business venture for his father, Rev. R. P. Shaw. The building is of variegated brick with five bays across the front that were originally five separate storefronts, each with distinctive second floor detailing. Two bays are decorated with a triplet of round arches supported by Solomonic (twisted) columns. One has a now-enclosed loggia supported by delicate Tuscan columns. Another has four narrow windows above a terra cotta tiled canopy, and the last has a Dutch gable with two round arches. The store fronts, topped with a transom of arches and colonettes, have now been changed into a continuous display window. This commercial building is a remarkable example of the early 20th Century enthusiasm for revival styles of architecture. Perhaps Shaw was inspired by Ralph Adams Cram’s 1925 First Presbyterian Church (20 Tacoma Ave. S.) that is in the same style. For the last few decades, it was occupied by the Northwest Costume Shop. historictacoma.org
