About this property

The Trommald Building is a historic building in Enumclaw, Washington, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2000 (ID #00000972). It was built in 1915 by Tacoma dry goods merchant Erick G. Trommald for $30,000 adjoining Enumclaw's first modern office building, the Jensen Building. Trommald commissioned notable Tacoma architects Heath & Gove to plan the structure. The building is significant for its relatively intact architecture, influenced by the Chicago School style. The Trommald building was part of a City Beautiful movement in the 1910s and 1920s to replace dilapidated wooden buildings with fireproof brick buildings.
