Lawrence Block Remodel

One of 24 technical drawings created by Earl N. Dugan, Albert Sutton and Harrison Allen Whitney for a 1926 remodel and expansion on the structure, which had been extant since 1892. The Lawrence Block was demolished in 1956 to for the construction of a 12 story Weyerhaeuser building.

Earl N. Dugan was born in Perry, Iowa and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1906. After working for a short while in Chicago and San Francisco, he arrived in Tacoma working independently as a draftsman. This led to partnerships with Sutton, Whitney and Dugan as well as Mock, Morrison and Dugan. Dugan was the founding member of the Tacoma Society of Architects and would sometimes use this platform to secure contracts through free consultation, as was the case for the Point Defiance Pavilion.

Albert Sutton was born in Victoria, British Columbia, raised in Portland, Oregon and graduated from the University of California in Berkeley. His first architectural partnership was with James Pickles in 1888, followed by a brief collaboration with Ambrose Russell which lasted only two years when Sutton relocated to San Francisco. When he returned to Tacoma, Sutton formed a partnership with Harrison A. Whitney and Earl Dugan in 1912. This partnership would last until 1923 when Sutton would die suddenly from heart failure. Albert Sutton was a 33rd degree Mason, the highest rank within the organization.

Harrison Allen Whitney was born in Osage, Iowa and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in architecture. After working in Boston and Chicago, Whitney moved to Portland, Oregon as head draftsman for Whidden & Lewis. This position led to Whitney contributing designs for the Lewis and Clark Exposition and the Multnomah County Courthouse. In 1912, Whitney partnered with Albert Sutton and would retain Sutton's name in his architectural firm long after his death in 1923.

ca. 1935. Liquor store interior for Washington State Liquor Board. On March 24, 1934, the Washington State Liquor Control Board took over the sale of hard liquors in the state of Washington from private dealers. The first state owned liquor store in Tacoma opened its doors March 31, 1934 at 1009-15 A St. The store consisted of two long counters behind which the liquor was kept on racks and shelves. All purchases were wrapped by the cashier, and were required to remain wrapped until the purchaser arrived home. Public drunkenness was not tolerated. Against one wall was a large glass display case with samples of the 500 available brands of liquor. (TDL 3/20/1934, pg. 1; TDL 3/31/1934, pg. 1)

ca. 1935. An unidentified employee at one of Tacoma's new Washington State Liquor Stores stands looking at the bottles of alcohol on display in the store's glass-fronted display cases. On March 23, 1934, the Washington State Liquor Control Board took over the sale of hard liquors from private dealers in Washington. All sales would now go through the state, enriching the state's coffers. The first state owned liquor store opened in Tacoma on March 31, 1934, ending a week long "dry" period between the two dates. Prices were reported to be moderate. The store arrangement was two long counters behind which the liquor was retrieved from the shelf for the purchaser, taken to the cashier and delivered to the purchaser wrapped and sealed. These glass fronted display cabinets showed all of the 500 brands of liquors available at the store. (TDL 3/20/1934, pg. 1; TDL 3/31/1934, pg. 1)

ca. 1935. Liquor store exterior for Washington State Liquor Board. On March 31, 1934, Washington State's first liquor store in Tacoma opened its doors at this location. On March 24th, 1934, the Washington State Liquor Control Board had taken over supervision of beer and wine establishments and the sale of hard liquor. Tacoma saw a dry week after the close of private dealers and before the state's store was stocked and open. The store offered 500 brands of whiskies, brandies, cordials, gins, liquors, wines and oriental sake on their shelves. Hours were 10am to midnight from Monday- Saturday, closed on Sunday. A permit was required to purchase liquor and wine with the permits available for 50 cents at the store and good through the end of the year. The take over of liquor sales greatly increased the coffers of the state. (TDL 3/20/1934, pg. 1; TDL 3/31/1934, pg. 1)
