This was the recently built home of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Tinker as pictured in January of 1921. Mr. Tinker was the head of Puget Sound Bank & Trust. The modified English style home was located at 44 Orchard Rd. on Prospect Hill. Built on an elevated lot with an unobstructed marine view, the home featured hollow tile and cream colored stucco. The Tinkers did not stay long at this elegant residence; Mr. Tinker would die in Florida in 1925 but not before selling his North End home in 1923 to Bertrand & Dorothy Buckmaster. Mr. Buckmaster was also in the banking business as the president of Pacific First Federal Savings & Loan and North Pacific Bank Note Co. G29.1-045; BU-10,363 (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, 2-6-21, B-5)
