Scope and content
This photograph from March of 1938 shows the Vermont Marble Company plant which was located near the southeast foot of the 11th Street (Murray Morgan) Bridge from 1908 to 1941. The marble plant in Tacoma was the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi River. While 80 % of the stone worked there came from Tokeen, Alaska, fine mables were also shipped in from Vermont, New York, Germany, France, Italy and elsewhere. Over $900,000 worth of worked stone from the plant was used for the interior of the Washington state capitol building. The Northwest Door Company (1203 East D St.) , Norwood Plywood and Mount Rainier can be seen in the background.
