Scope and content
Another view of the progress occurring in the month of October of 1969 at the site of the upcoming (National) Bank of Washington plaza in downtown Tacoma. Special care was taken to create a concrete footing 62.5 feet square and 5 feet thick at the start of construction; this would support a tower crane, seen above, used on the $12 million dollar job. The project would take nearly two years to complete and be dedicated on January 9, 1971. Photograph ordered by Donald M. Drake Co., Portland, general contractors.
