Scope and content
ca. 1969. Copy of customer print. Architect's view of downtown parking garage, ordered by New Tacoma Parking Corporation on March 15, 1969. A glass-enclosed skybridge connects the upper levels of a new parking garage to other buildings, providing protection from the elements. On the ground level are carefully planted trees and a pleasant sheltered courtyard for pedestrians to meet friends or simply catch their breath. There was a need for parking in downtown Tacoma and two garages were to be built in 1969 as part of the downtown urban renewal project. Nearly 800 new parking spots would be created as a result.
