Awaiting construction of their new district office building is the staff of Allstate Insurance Company. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on August 31, 1971, at the south end location adjacent to the Tacoma Mall. Costs for the new building were expected to run $200,000. The 9,450-foot one-story structure, faced with Marblecrete, a quartzite white gold aggregate, would be built on the southwest corner of Ferry and South 48th St. Once completed, Allstate's staff would move from 622 Tacoma Avenue South where their office had been since 1956. Allstate's district office served nine southwest Washington counties. (TNT 8-22-71, B-8; TNT 9-1-71, A-7 article)
