Part of Richards Studio Photographs
Stock footage. Another view by air of downtown Tacoma, City (now Thea Foss) Waterway, and industrial Tideflats area. Tacoma's major business area was still in downtown Tacoma although some major retail stores, like the Bon Marche and soon, J.C. Penney's, had moved out to reach a more suburban clientele. The Tacoma Building on A St. still retained Weyerhaeuser's corporate offices and the Medical Arts Building on Market/St. Helens had not yet become the Tacoma Municipal Building. Major landmarks clearly visible are the County-City Building and Tacoma Public Library on Tacoma Ave. So., Medical Arts Building on St. Helens, Tacoma Building and Perkins Building on A St., 11th Street Bridge, Washington and Rust Buildings and Puget Sound National Bank on Pacific Ave. TPL-10059
