The residence at 702 No. J St. was built for James Henry Dege in 1907. Described then as "modern American with Swiss motive," the Craftsman was constructed of clinker brick with deep covered porch and a wide pitched roof with overhangs. By 1968, the home had had several owners, the last being the Laurence Evoys. Mr. Evoy was the head of the Pierce County Medical Bureau. A sign displayed prominently in the front yard on October 3, 1968, promoted John O'Connell as the next governor of Washington. Photograph ordered by Arthur York, attorney.
