Description
This circa 1940 postcard shows Memorial Auditorium, located at Fifteenth and J streets. Built in 1925/27, the structure's foundation -- measuring an area of 216 feet by 262 feet -- required the driving of some 1,100 concrete piles. The roof was supported by two main steel trusses, 175-feet long and the longest within any public building on record at the time of its construction.
