Scope and content
Construction of the original Fircrest Golf Club clubhouse was nearly completed when this July 20, 1924, photograph was taken. The 9 hole course (expanded the next year to a full 18 holes) was to open in six days. Members of this private club, located on 160 acres near Tacoma, were excited to see the opening of the Arthur Vernon Macan-designed course. George Turnbull, who had learned golf in Scotland, was named the club's first club pro. G54.1-022 (www.fircrestgolf.com-articles)
