Scope and content
Interior and exterior views of Exposition Hall at 1616-32 E. 26th St. The Hall was originally built by Bert Smyser to house an ice arena, a project that was soon abandoned. By 1941, it had been completed as an exposition building. It was 315 feet by 130 feet and had a seating capacity of 10,000. After serving as a Boeing sub assembly plant during WWII and a mattress factory for Tacoma Sleepmaster, the building eventually became The NW Soccer and Sports Center. [Also dated 07-30-1941]
