In January of 1943, the former Contagious Hospital, located at 3333 So. 38th St., was the first application received by the Homes Use Service Bureau as a candidate to convert to accommodations for wartime workers in area plants. The City of Tacoma offered this building as a likely candidate to be converted to 10 to 15 apartments for war workers and their families. The building had served as the offices for the local Works Progress Administration (WPA) for the previous five years; before that it had served as the Contagious Hospital (also known as the "Pest House," short for pestilence) from its construction in 1912 until its closure in 1937. The building is now the office of the Tacoma Coca-Cola Bottling Company. (T.Times 1/1/1943, pg. 7)
