This must be one of the last old-style/traditional Kingdom Halls to be built? Seems it was built during August/September last year, but was actually only dedicated fairly recently.

Two Dedication programmes - one in English and another in Spanish - same bilingual Bethel Brother gives the main talk in English and Spanish
I'll let you compare the two programmes .....

So, it was built late summer 2015? Was that before the org introduced and adopted the newer style? Or was this one for some reason built after the introduction of the new style?

I've seen the new style and it was built at least 2years ago, in tacoma was on Hosmer. Wonder why they bother with old style after all the build up?
Hi Magnum!

I think it's probably to do with the lead-time from buying land, getting permission to build, buying / designing materials and framing, RBC / LDC scheduling build time - and then the actual build - there's always going to be some overlap.
Oh, and interesting how the videos of the Dedication Programme have been on youtube for nearly three weeks, then, within something like 10 hours of my opening post above, they're made 'private' haha!!

It wasn't actually a new build was it? but rather a conversion?
