Construction continues on a new Tacoma highrise built by Fentron Industries. This photograph, taken on February 28, 1957, shows the new Tacoma Building (later to be called Weyerhaeuser Bldg.) at 1015 A St. Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. would be the primary occupant after completion. According to the 1957 City Directory, Cole & Weber, advertising, Cheney Lumber Co., Mutual Life Ins. Co. of N.Y., and Metzger, Blair & Gardner, attorneys, would also have offices in the new Tacoma Building. The twelve-story building next to the new construction is also called the Tacoma Building; it was built in 1910. The new Tacoma Building was actually located at 1015 A St., and considered an annex to the old section at (then) 1019 A St. Photograph ordered by Fentron Industries.
