| Description |
New shopping tower at Third Avenue and Pine Street, Seattle, Washington, circa 1929-1930. In later years the structure was known as the United Shopping Tower. Caption reads: "This new building, which represents a departure in retail merchandising methods in the Pacific Northwest, is a twelve-story structure devoted to select shops. Many of the individual shops occupy an entire floor. Shoppers under the 'vertical shopping' plan, of which the building is the Northwest exponent, conduct their shopping from floor to floor and shop to shop, unaffected by weather conditions, instead of between street level stores that are often-times far apart and separated by dense traffic." Postcard number: 5966-29, 3006.
