ca. 1954. Copy of customer print. A. Gordon Lumm was named the architect for the new County-City Building in May, 1953, after much discussion. His basic plan for the new offices was officially approved a year later. His architectural drawing shows the County-City Building facing Tacoma Avenue South; it is across the street from the Tacoma Public Library. The building would be a modern twelve story structure of aluminum and glass. It took quite a while for it to be completed; the new County-City Building was formally dedicated on April 10, 1959. The building debt was retired in July, 1977. Photograph ordered by Fentron Industries.
