Centennial Mills was completely destroyed after a massive fire in January 1947. The fire started in the mill building then spread to the storage building and up to the export offices. The fire is one of the costliest in Tacoma history. View of Centennial Mills, concrete building two months after the fire, photo ordered by fire insurance company's adjustment bureau.
