Scope and content
Exterior- Selden's. Selden's, a home furnishings store featuring floor coverings and appliances, moved their main downtown store from Broadway, where they had been located since 1942, to 11th & A St in the spring of 1958. View of store with row of delivery trucks and large Selden's signage. Selden's had been in business in various Tacoma locations since 1940. The downtown store would remain the main store; five branches would be scattered throughout the state from Olympia to Moses Lake. The store would undergo extensive remodeling by G. Kirkebo & Son, contractors, using the design of Lea, Pearson & Richards, architects, in 1964. Eleven years later, in late 1975, the building would be demolished. Photograph ordered by Selden's.
