Scope and content
The location of the annual Tacoma Home Show model home was always kept secret until the day before the show opened. In 1957, the model home, "Oakhurst," was constructed in the Southgate neighborhood at 10103 Montrose Avenue S.W. in Lakewood. Streets around the new home are crowded with cars and there is a long line of people waiting to tour the house. The model homes were built under the auspices of the Tacoma Master Builders Association, a group of contractors, builders and architects who prided themselves on quality workmanship. Sherman L. Rowland was the builder of the 1957 model home; he had also built the 1954 model home, the TX 101. Photograph ordered by Tacoma Master Builders Association. (TNT 3-19-57, C-5)
