Scope and content
Exterior - State Savings & Loan Assn. Curtains are open in the State Savings & Loan Assn. building showing empty modern foyer and lobby area. The Assn.'s offices were now located at 911 Pacific Avenue in the heart of the downtown business and financial district. They were formerly at 913 Pacific before buying and remodeling the adjoining Floral Building. A large sign and clock illuminate the outer darkness; the Richards photographer ventured out at 12:55 a.m. to take this shot. The State Savings & Loan Assn. celebrated the opening of its new home office with an open house for the public from January 5-9, 1959. The association was founded in 1912 and was one of the oldest in the area. It was headed since 1922 by Calvin W. Stewart. State Savings & Loan also had two branches in Puyallup and Gig Harbor at this time. Photograph ordered by Robert Danhauser, State Savings & Loan Assn. (TNT 1-4-59, B-5)
