ca. 1970. Southcenter Theatre. The single screen auditorium had 1,228 seats. Due to the giant 88 x 32-foot high curved screen, patrons would have had good views from any seat in the house. The screen was flanked by floor length curtains. The Southcenter Theatre opened in April of 1970 and went dark in August of 2001. The first film shown was Alfred Hitchcock's "Topaz," and the last, "Moulin Rouge." Photograph ordered by Southcenter Theatre, Tukwila. (ww.cinematour.com)

ca. 1970. Color copy of customer print; copy ordered by Lindal Cedar Homes on September 21, 1970. "Franklin" model home on display at an unknown location. The two-story cedar home does not have the traditional A-frame look as it has a roofline more Mansard-like. The second story has a balcony nearly the width of the house. Both the balcony and first floor have cedar railings. Cedar was chosen for Lindal's homes as it was both attractive and very durable.
