Scope and content
Aerial view from Commencement Bay of Tacoma's West End with downtown and the Tideflats beyond. Running down the center of the photograph is Sixth Ave, which veers left to serve as the entrance for the second Narrows bridge. The portion that veers to the right travels to Titlow Park. In the lower right hand corner the Park's swimming pool and the natural salt water lagoon can be seen. The area around the Narrows is still largely undeveloped. Crossing Sixth Ave. at about the center of the picture is Pearl Street. The Tacoma Auto View Theater is at 1202 North Pearl. To the left of the Auto View and below, an abandoned excavation looks like pattern against the ground. For an older view of this same area (ca. 1939), see D8245 image 1. TPL-9157
