Perkins Building, Historic office building in Tacoma, Washington, United States
The eight-story Perkins Building features a rigid frame structure with a brick facade in the Chicago School architectural style at 1101 South A Street.
The building, constructed in 1907, served as a newspaper plant for the Tacoma Ledger and Daily News until 1937, when the publication ceased operations.
The structure became a temporary campus for the University of Washington Tacoma during the 1990s while their permanent facilities underwent construction.
Following a 9 million dollar investment in 2004, the Perkins Building now contains residential condominiums, office spaces, and retail establishments.
The structure stood as the tallest reinforced concrete building in the Northwest and introduced the first basement parking garage on the West Coast.
