Scope and content
This photograph shows the corner of South 19th and Pacific as it looked in August of 1940. The Shaub-Ellison "super-service station" at 1902 Pacific opened in 1932. Directly behind it is the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company Transfer House. South 19th Street between Pacific and Jefferson was closed to traffic and the Shaub-Ellison building was demolished to make way for the University of Washington - Tacoma Campus. The Power Company building was incorporated into the campus library.
