Scope and content
A February, 1970, photograph taken on a sunny winter day looking north toward Commencement Bay showed the north end Stadium District. Wright Park, located around Sixth & "I," is on the right lower edge. Across the street from the park is the Greek-ionic styled First Church of Christ, Scientist. The Washington State Historical Society building, Stadium Bowl and Stadium High School are near the right upper edge. The white tower in the upper center is the Vista Manor Apartments; built in 1950, Vista Manor had some outstanding views of the bay. Next door to the Vista Manor at 409 Tacoma Ave. No. is the Central Lutheran Church. A portion of Tacoma General Hospital can be seen at the bottom of the photograph. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank.
