The one-car garage was attached to the longer side of the "L." The home, called "Oakhurst," was the 1957 Tacoma Home Show model home. It was built by Sherman L. Rowland; Rowland also received the honor of building the 1954 Home Show model home, TX 101. The model strolling from the house is Shirley Vanek.
