Scope and content

The Shawnee area of Magnolia Beach, Vashon Island, located south of Burton. On the right is the "Shawnee House," 11608 SW Shawnee Rd., designed by architect Max A. Van House. Former owner Millard F. Shaw platted the area in 1907 and named it, presumably after himself. He built the Shawnee House for his wife who refused to live in it, preferring their smaller, simpler house up the hill. In 1927, the home was owned by Tacoma real estate dealer Stanley Morrison, vice president of Morrison-Muehler Co. Inc. In 1929, Mr. Morrison was indicted on federal fraud charges in connection with local investors and the stock market crash. A number of the homes at the south end of the island were occupied by individuals who had business dealings in Tacoma and commuted by ferry. The ferries connected the island to Tacoma and Seattle.
