Scope and content
View of corridor kitchen. In this photograph taken possibly in late fall, 1951, folding doors separate a modern corridor kitchen from the home's dining room. View of well equipped kitchen showing white appliances: Hotpoint freezer, stove and refrigerator on one side and sink with plenty of counter space on the other side. Wooden cabinets have slanted handles; floor appears to be linoleum. Sherman Rowland of Rowland Construction combined with Bob Cowden and Duratile of Tacoma to build new homes in the city's southend during this time period. A customer could choose to build a home on his own lot or purchase a new home near South D and 76th Street. Homes were priced at slightly less than $10,000 and contained seven spacious rooms, including modern kitchen and Duratile bath, attached garage and forced air heat. (TNT 1-20-52, C-16)
