Believed to be the model prefabricated house built for Win Wilson at 2810 North Proctor. In 1946 Tacoma manufactured 183,748,761 square feet of plywood. By this time plywood had been found suitable for building and construction, for sub-flooring, sheathing, ceilings, partitions, etc. About 1/2 of the plywood production went into the building trades and 1/2 went into industrial channels for manufacturing into furniture and other articles.
