Scope and content
ca. 1958. Copy of customer print. An attractive garden storage unit and bench is framed by numerous trees in a residential backyard. The large storage closet, made of plywood, has two compartments. Each has shelves built in the inside doors to hold gardening equipment, including tools and plant potions. There is plenty of room inside the cabinet for lawnmowers and even camping gear. A convenient bench is built facing the cabinet; the overhead slanting roof would provide necessary shade. The pergola is positioned over a bed of gravel. With the storage unit doors closed, this could serve as an outdoor entertainment center for barbecues and parties. A copy of this picture was used in the News Tribune layout on March 16, 1958, advertising the 10th annual Tacoma Home Show. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association; the actual date of the picture is unknown but it was copied on May 27, 1958. (TNT 3-16-58, B-18)
