Scope and content
This was the aerial view of Tacoma in September of 1968 looking down South 11th Street towards the Tideflats. At that time South 11th St. was a one-way street. At the bottom edge of the photograph South 11th intersects with Tacoma Avenue South. The roof of the Tacoma Public Library is at the bottom right; the flag on the grass to the left is on the County-City Building's lawn. The new building, under construction at the corner of 11th and Tacoma Ave. South, will be the State Savings & Loan Association building at 955 Tacoma Avenue South. It is across 11th from Siri's Restaurant (later to be Red Kelly's). Rhodes department store is down the hill on the left side; the Puget Sound National Bank's spire is on the right, closer to the waterfront.
