Scope and content
Loxide Structures, Inc. This is a copy of photograph A27734-2. The lawn and left side of the house have been touched up, however, to show a lawn and foundation plantings with a fence and tree on the left. Loxide walls were designed in 1939 by A.A. Lahti of the Sunset Beach area. The system was produced to meet the need for low cost homes and had the advantages of being fast and simple to construct. Robert Thompson was president of the company, Albert J. Weberg, vice president, and Bee and Robert Campbell were secretary. (TNT/Ledger, 2/9/1947)
