Scope and content
ca. 1926. George L. and Minnie Dickson's 1926 Christmas card. Exterior view of the Dickson house, a Prairie-style modern American cottage designed by Russell and Babcock, Architects, in 1909. Mrs. Dickson is credited with influencing the architectural style of her residence. The site, when purchased in 1909 for $16,000, brought the highest price ever paid at that time. The home was chosen in 1920 as one of Tacoma's three most beautiful homes and was featured in the January 1921 periodical "House Beautiful." One of the factors considered in its selection for that honor was its dedication to the cottage architectural style. (filed with Argentum)
