Scope and content
A workman keeps an eye on a fellow employee as both are on the steep and unfinished roofs of the Student Union Building under construction at the College of Puget Sound. The wood and brick Tudor was designed by local architect Silas E. Nelsen and built by Strom Construction. Total contracts were approximately $1 million dollars, much of it paid for under a federal government loan. Located at No. 15th & Lawrence Sts., the new building's architecture would be harmonious with the classic Gothic and Tudor style of older units. The completion date was estimated to be August, 1959. The Student Union Building would be dedicated on December 4, 1959. Photograph ordered by Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. (TNT 2-15-59, C-16) TPL-10100
