Scope and content
ca. 1956. Combination basement recreation and laundry room of the 1956 Greater Tacoma Home Show Model Home, ordered by the Tacoma Master Builders. The model home was called "The Klahanie," from a Chinook Indian word meaning "out of doors." It was located in the University Estates division in University Place. The washer, dryer, water heater and furnace are tucked neatly into a corner. The remainder of the room is used for seating room, plus a poker table and ping pong table (only a corner seen in the picture.) Exposed pipes and beams can be seen at the ceiling level. Dark linoleum covers the floor. (TNT 5/10/1956, Section C- Home Show feature)
