Scope and content
A view of the Hunt & Mottet Bldg. on Pacific Avenue was taken from across the street on October 21, 1957. The eight-story brick building is in stark contrast to the concrete-faced unit next door, which was designed by architect Frederick Heath and constructed by W.J. Collins, contractors. Hunt & Mottet, hardware and sporting goods dealers, apparently occupied space in both buildings, according to ground level signage. Enormous lettering emblazoned on one side of the brick building, not visible in this photograph, made the company a well-known presence in the Tacoma business district.
