Scope and content
Construction continues on the new County-City Building in the spring of 1958. At this point, work on the edifice is now past the half-way point. View of construction at the corner of So. 11th and Tacoma Avenue So. shows the two-story court wing and the ten-story plus penthouse central structure. The court wing is being constructed of reinforced concrete. The court rooms will be soundproof and windowless. The towering central portion is 165 feet above Tacoma Avenue. It is being built to be fireproof and will be only one of about 100 in the country with exterior aluminum paneling. Another unit, a four-story law enforcement wing, will be finished later.
