Scope and content
Duratile booth at the 1952 Tacoma Home Show. The company is advertising its "modernfold" doors, the extremely popular folding accordion doors that were replacing swinging doors in the fifties. The accordion doors gave the homeowner the option to leave them open for a great room feel, or close them as privacy is needed. Also shown are Duratile original steel wall tile in variegated colors. A folding staircase for use in attics is shown to the left. A modern kitchen, with bent chrome chairs and a standing ashtray, can be seen to the right. Duratile was located at 3869 Steilacoom Blvd.
