Scope and content
These two houses, with commanding views of the Narrows, were two of the first homes built in the Soundview housing development. In March of 1941 you could buy a lot in the Soundview housing development with a view of Puget Sound and Fox Island for $150 to $1,450. Soundview was just southwest of Curtis High School on both sides of Grandview Drive West. An ad for building lots in the Tacoma Times stated that, "You can enjoy the health and happiness of county life...and all only 7.6 miles from 11th and Broadway." The area was being developed by Comfort and Davis. (T.Times 3/29/1941 p.7)
