Exposure of carpet at Franke Tobey Jones Home. This photograph, taken on January 18, 1951, shows new interior carpeting on the stairwell and stairs of the Franke Tobey Jones Home. There is a long wooden chest tucked away next to the staircase. Located at 5340 North Bristol near Point Defiance Park, the English Tudor retirement home had its ground breaking on March 14, 1924, and opened nearly a year later on March 4, 1925. The home was originally named Restholme but was renamed in honor of benefactor Franke M. Tobey Jones.
