Perkins Building as pictured in February of 1973. The landmark Perkins Building is located in downtown Tacoma at 1101 A Street. Built in 1906 for S.A. (Sydney Albert) Perkins, the structure once housed the Tacoma Daily Ledger and Tacoma Daily News newspapers. At that time, it was the highest building in Tacoma and also the highest reinforced concrete structure in the Northwest. It was Tacoma's first fireproof building. The Perkins Bldg. served as the first home of the University of Washington-Tacoma from 1990-1997. The Black Angus restaurant was located on the first level of the building for several years.
