Scope and content
On September 7, 1942, over 8,000 people gathered in downtown Tacoma for the dedication of the modernistic Liberty Center at 1000 Pacific Ave. The outdoor theater was designed by Herbert Bell, architect, and was intended to serve as a stage for bond sales. In November of 1942, it was moved to 800 Broadway to improve the flow of traffic to and from the shipyards.
