Scope and content
ca. 1926. This is an undated architectural drawing of a "Proposed Doctors Office Building on Saint Helens Avenue," designed by Sutton, Whitney & Dugan, Tacoma architects. It is apparently an early design proposal for the (Rhodes) Medical Arts Building which was built at 747 Market Street in 1930. The Sutton, Whitney & Dugan drawing shows a shorter building than the one finally constructed but it was apparently also to be made of stone. John Graham, Sr. and associate architects Heath, Gove & Bell were eventually chosen as the architects for the Medical Arts Building which was actually built. The Medical Arts Building was purchased by the City of Tacoma in 1977 for use as the city hall, and was renamed the Tacoma Municipal Building in 1981. (Copy of drawing made on November 10, 1926.)
