ca. 1960. Aerial view of Tideflats and downtown Tacoma area, including Wright Park and slices of Division Avenue, ca. 1960. Mount Rainier looms in the background, overlooking the industrial area of Tacoma, City (now Thea Foss) Waterway with its boats and log dumps, and the 11th St. Bridge. Familiar buildings such as the Puget Sound National Bank, Rust, and Washington buildings can be spotted on Pacific Avenue. The County-City Building with its two wings and the State Armory are in mid-photo. The wooded area is Wright Park with its meandering paths clearly marked. Adjoining the park at 9th & Division is the Greek Ionic styled First Church of Christ, Scientist. TPL-9664
