Scope and content
Closer view of the downtown business district as seen by air on September 4, 1968. Facing Pacific Ave. is the Puget Sound National Bank Bldg. with its familiar spire. The empty lot across it would soon be home to a 300+-spot parking lot. Behind the bank is the Federal Building (1102 A Street) where the federal courts were located (until 1992) and the Main branch of the U.S. Postal Service. The Rust Building (950 Pacific) and the 17-story Washington Building (1019 Pacific) are less than a block away. In the far background, near top of the photograph, are the County-City Building (930 Tacoma Ave. So.) and Central School (601 So. 8th St.)
