On Sunday, October 29, 2000, the 110 year-old building which housed the Corner Drug Store in Pullman, Washington burned to the ground. In 2002-2003, the Town Centre building was built on that spot, and housed the Washington State University Foundation offices on the 3rd and 4th floors.
The collection consists of 181 images of the construction of the Town Centre building, located on the southwest corner of Main and Kamiaken in Pullman, Washington. The photographs were taken on 26 different days between April 26, 2002 and April 23, 2003, and document the construction of the building from an empty lot through to the grand opening. Individual images are all jpegs, range from 26 kb to 613 kb in size, and are either 480 x 640 pixels, or 1200 x 1600.
Images are on a CD in 26 folders, each corresponding to the date on which the photographs were taken. A digital copy of the CD is retained in WSU MASC’s archival storage facilities. A set of contact sheets of the images was printed and is physically in the box with the CD, 35 images to a page.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions apply.
