Scope and content
Progress photographs. By mid-June, 1970, the (National) Bank of Washington Plaza tower had shot up to at least 21 stories, bypassing Puget Sound National Bank as the tallest building in town. Designed by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merill and utilizing 5 million pounds of reinforcing steel and 23,000 cubic yards of concrete, the tower would even have its own 350 kw emergency power generator. The law firm of Gordon, Honeywell, Malanca, Johnson & Peterson had already requested the top floor of the building for their offices. Bank administrative offices would occupy the first 12 floors with the Tacoma Main Banking Center on the mezzanine level. Photograph ordered by Donald M. Drake Co., Portland.
