Scope and content
The gently arched roof of Parkland's Redi-Gas plant cast giant shadows over the paved parking lot. The architectural firm of Swedberg & Anderson designed the facility and it was built by Purvis Construction in 1958. Local products were used in the construction; Douglas fir plywood panels were installed in the arched roof. Walnut-faced plywood was used in the interior walls while glass and brick formed the exterior. Besides the showrooms, general and administrative offices, warehouse and shop, two huge storage tanks holding 43,000 pounds of liquid petroleum gas were on the property. Redi-Gas was a propane gas distributing company with ten retail outlets in the Pacific Northwest. Photograph ordered by Woodlam, Inc.
