Forms are in place for the pouring of concrete at the construction site for the new C.H. Jones Hall at the College of Puget Sound. Groundbreaking for the new campus at N. 15th & Warner St. had occurred on May 22, 1923, and Jones Hall was to be the first of many major campus buildings. The administration building, Jones Hall, is named after Tacoma lumberman Charles H. Jones whose widow gifted the school $200,000 on the day of its groundbreaking. The Jones family had previously donated $50,000 to the school just the year before. Sutton, Whitney & Dugan designed the college campus and J.E. Bonnell & Son were the contractors.
