Scope and content
ca. 1960. Color architectural drawing of Mount Tahoma High School. Robert Billsbrough Price, noted Tacoma architect, designed the "campus style" format of the new Mount Tahoma High School, located at 6229 So. Tyler. Mr. Price had received much praise for his innovative design of Hunt Junior High School. The architect's drawing made full use of the new campus' 76 acres. Built by Strom Construction, Mount Tahoma would be the first "all-electric" school in Tacoma and would have the first "school-within-a-school" where sophomores, juniors and seniors would be in separate sections. It would have its first classes in September, 1961, and be officially dedicated on November 8, 1961.
