Scope and content
At first glance it is difficult to determine what this orb with extending rays is. This March 10, 1967, photograph was apparently taken looking directly up at the ceiling of the new Kaiser Dome located on the Tacoma Tideflats. The "rays" were laminated timbers extending from the walls to the ceiling. The dome was built by the Port of Tacoma to store 50,000 tons of alumina under contract with Kaiser Aluminum. It, and the corresponding load-out system, was part of the 1.6 million dollar bulk cargo facility improvements at Pier 7. Photograph ordered by Allen, Dorward & Scroggin, Portland.
