Scope and content
Progress photograph of new construction. Architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill were responsible for the design of the forthcoming (National) Bank of Washington Plaza which would occupy a block of prime Pacific Avenue territory. The site was being prepared on March 12, 1969, when the above photograph was taken. Various cranes and dirt moving machinery were in use and mounds of debris and dirt were in the process of being removed. The bank building would be dedicated on January 9, 1971, nearly two years after ground was first broken. Donald M. Drake Co. was the contractor working with ABAM Engineers. Photograph ordered by the Donald M. Drake Co., Portland.
