Scope and content
This view of the new Tacoma Building, 1015 A Street, designed by Frederick G. Frost & Associates of New York, was taken for the Cole & Weber Advertising Agency on December 31, 1957; to the left of the building, Mt. Rainier is barely visible through the haze hanging over the Tacoma tideflats. The old Tacoma Building, 1017-21 A Street, is next door. It is also twelve stories and was built in 1910. The original Tacoma Building was first occupied by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. and the Tacoma Commercial Club. The new modern style building became the Weyerhaeuser Bldg. after the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. moved its corporate offices into the new structure. In 1971 the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. built another headquarters building in Federal Way.
