Scope and content
The Richards Studio took several aerial photographs in April, 1958, of the downtown and Tideflats area. The growth of Tacoma can be noted in the increase of commercial buildings and industrial facilities along the City Waterway (now Thea Foss Waterway). The 11th St. Bridge is to the far right of the photograph; the 15th & 21st St. Bridges are also included. There are platforms under the 15th & 21st St. Bridges. Union Pacific Railroad buildings and possibly the Martinac Shipbuilding are visible on the bottom portion of the picture. TPL-8157
