Scope and content
New downtown United Mutual Savings Bank building. Located on 11th St. between Broadway & Commerce, the statewide headquarters of United Mutual Savings Bank was formally dedicated on Friday, February 14, 1975. Mayor Gordon Johnston presided over the noontime dedication ceremonies. He and United Mutual Savings Bank president Howard Scott placed documents in a sealed time vault. The six-story structure, built of precast concrete, cost $6,000,000. It was designed by Tacoma architects Lea, Pearson & Richards. The bank would subsequently take out several large ads in the News Tribune thanking the public for their attendance at the dedication. (TNT 2-13-75, B-2 - article; TNT 2-17-75, A-16 - ad)
