Scope and content
Stock footage; aerials of downtown Tacoma looking toward Tideflats, taken on June 23, 1964. At this height, the normally large looming buildings appear as small Monopoly structures. The 11th St. Bridge is pictured extending into the Tideflats. It is flanked near the City (now Thea Foss) Waterway by the Chicago-styled Tacoma Bldg. and Perkins Bldg. The Peoples Store, Washington and Rust Bldgs. are clearly visible. The towering building with steeple is the Puget Sound National Bank, at one time the tallest building on the West Coast. Toward the left center edge is the Medical Arts Building (now Municipal Bldg.), built in the Art Deco tradition, and the triangular-shaped Bostwick Block.
