Scope and content
There were very few homes on Tacoma's west side until after the Second World War. Westmoreland Terrace, near North 30th and Orchard Streets, was a small housing development. View of entrance show the presence of several similar styled homes with a model home for prospective homeowners to inspect. This photograph was taken just prior to the grand opening of the new subdivision in August, 1951. Roads were crushed rock ballast; they were to be graveled shortly. A sidewalk and nearby landscaped lawn end abruptly across the street from the finished homes. (TNT 8-10-51, p. 8)
