Notes
  • Significance: The Goodrich Silvertown Building is significant as an intact example of a type of commercial structure which combined the exuberance of the Art Deco architectural style with advanced construction technology to provide a functional space for servicing the booming automotive market which developed in the 1910s and 1920s. It bears witness to the transition in Tacoma from a rail-oriented transportation system to an automotive one. The Goodrich building also exhibits, in the use of space spanning bow trusses, the desire to create large unobstructed work areas for the servicing of motorized vehicles.
