Scope and content
ca. 1931. A look back to the early 1930s at the City (now Thea Foss) Waterway and downtown Tacoma business district , included in the 1977 Richards Studio stock file. Several of the buildings in Tacoma's skyline have been labeled including the Perkins Bldg., the Fisher Company and Montgomery Ward & Co. Retail Store. Other notable buildings are the Puget Sound National Bank headquarters with distinctive spire, the Washington Building, and the Tacoma Building. A glimpse of the Tacoma Hotel, which would burn down in 1935, is near the right (behind smokestacks). In the foreground is the City (now Thea Foss) Waterway and Dock St., with Pacific Fruit & Produce Co., a firm established in 1909.
