Scope and content
Progress photograph of United Mutual Savings Bank's new headquarters. Construction on a new $6,000,000 six-story precast concrete highrise would start soon in the spring of 1973 on the site of the former Manning's Market in downtown Tacoma. Signs placed at the site indicate that this will be the new home of United Mutual Savings Bank. It is located on 11th St. between Broadway and Commerce St. with 90 feet on Commerce and 100 feet on 11th. There would be 35,000 square feet of floor space. The building would be built of fire-resistant structural steel and using a brown-tone precast concrete facing on the exterior. Groundbreaking ceremonies would be held on Thursday, May 4th, and the building would be dedicated nearly two years later on February 14, 1975. Photograph ordered by United Mutual Savings Bank.
