Scope and content
ca. 1934. Alfred L. Gehri (right), a local writer and plumbing contractor, and Henry Querrette were photographed in 1934 as they discussed one of Mr. Querrette's blueprints for a house. Henry Querrette, also known as "Chips", was a well respected carpenter and builder of homes in the Puget Sound area. In the mid-1930s a series of articles written by Mr. Gehri about the down-to-earth, old builder was published by Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Two of the articles were about homes that Mr. Querrette built in Tacoma: his "Fo'castle" house, 407 So. Sheridan Ave., built in 1926, and his "Snug Harbor" house, 405 So. Sheridan Ave., built in 1928. (Better Homes & Gardens, August 1934)
