Scope and content
This aerial view of part of the sprawling St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company complex with Mount Rainier in the background dates from September of 1950. St. Paul & Tacoma with its many buildings, smokestacks and burners was located in the southwest section of the Tacoma tideflats near the Puyallup River; their headquarters were at 1220 Saint Paul Avenue. The white bridge near the center of the image crossing the channelized Puyallup River is the Lincoln Avenue bridge. Two railroad bridges and the Pacific Highway (U.S. Hwy 99) bridge can be seen further up the river.
