Private pool built by Cascade Pool Co. for Dr. Ernest Banfield. The kidney shaped pool has a diving board at one end. A door from what is probably a basement recreation room of Dr. Banfield's residence opens onto a covered patio with an outdoor fireplace and built in brick barbecue and cooking area. Floor to ceiling windows in the living room overlook the pool. Dr. Banfield was a noted plastic surgeon who practiced in Tacoma. His wife Helen (Becky) served on Tacoma's city council. The house next door to the Banfields at 1212 Ventura belonged to George Jacobson. (Additional identification provided by a reader)
