Scope and content
The Washington Natural Gas Company was preparing to host a four-day open house to be held on September 11-14, 1963, when this late August photograph of their new headquarters building was taken. The new headquarters was built on the grounds of the old Cheney Field/Tiger Field on South 38th Street. Designed by Robert Evans/Swedberg & Associates architects, the modernistic building was constructed of pre-cast concrete, utilizing the "hy-urly" method. It featured a unique towering walkway and adjoining water fountains. Nelson Construction were the contractors. Guided tours would be offered during the open house. Photograph ordered by Bozell & Jacobs Advertising. (TNT 9-10-63, B-1,2)
