Scope and content
Former Lincoln automobile dealership, new home of Olympic Dairy at 9th and K Street in March of 1939. Photograph ordered by Corky Maybin at the Tacoma Times. The structure was built in 1925 from a design by C.F.W. Lundberg for Mutual Motors. It was home to Donoghue Chevrolet, American Motors Inc. and Tommy Burns Inc. before becoming the new plant for the Olympic Dairy in 1939. Remodeling the structure and adding modern equipment cost Olympic more than $75,000. The 30 year old firm did not move any of their old equipment to their new plant. (filed with Argentum) (T. Times 3/30/1939, pg. 7)
