Scope and content
The Construction Council of Tacoma entered this float in the Golden Jubilee Parade on July 22, 1939. The float bears a model of what is possibly the Exposition Hall, 1616-32 E. 26th, opened in 1940. The wording over the door of the model says simply "Washington." The driver's head and steering wheel can be seen directly in front of the model. The parade was celebrating fifty years of Washington statehood. Several people can be seen in the crowd wearing their "Jubilee Hats."
