Description: Web sources:Ground was broken on the 16-story, steel-framed National Realty Building in 1909. One of the tallest building projects attempted in Washington State before the completion of Seattle's Smith Tower in 1914. Composed of a steel frame it was the earliest skyscraper designed to tolerate earthquakes. The Tacoma architectural firm of Heath and Twichell designed the National Realty Company Building in the late 1900s, producing an innovative structural plan that, at sixteen stories (232-feet tall), stood for three years as the tallest building in the Pacific Northwest. The National Realty Company sold the tower in 1917, setting a record as Tacoma's most expensive real estate deal up to that time. A well appreciated local landmark, and an integral part of Tacoma's remarkable history to this day. CONDITION: ANTIQUE. VVG. UnMailed.
