Scope and content
A series of photographs were taken by air on February 20, 1970, featuring north end neighborhoods, including the Stadium District. This view focuses on Wright Park, and the businesses and apartments surrounding the park. Located about Sixth & "I," Wright Park provided a peaceful alternative to the bustle of urban living. Through the trees can be seen a glimpse of the First Church of Christ, Scientist at the corner of Division and "I" and Tacoma General Hospital's facilities on nearby "K" (now Martin Luther King Jr. Way). A section of tranquil Commencement Bay is on the right upper edge. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank.
