Scope and content
Aerial photographs requested by Reichhold Chemicals, Inc., were taken on January 12, 1956. The company had purchased 51.2 acres of land from the Port of Tacoma for $204,920. They would be constructing a large plant on acreage south of Lincoln Avenue between the Tacoma Sash & Door and Pennsalt. Reichhold hoped to begin operations in April, 1956. The protein adhesive and pentachorohenol plant would first employ 50 people. Aerial view of land shows sides of the building going up; there is no roof or flooring. Makeshift dirt roads have been created so that construction workers' vehicles and heavy equipment can reach the plant site. (TNT 12-25-55, B-4)
