Scope and content
Professional model Judith Marush is accompanied by Pat O'Toole and Joe Hoots on March 18, 1965, as they examine the Hoots Construction Co. display booth at the 18th annual Tacoma Home Show (now renamed the House & Garden Show). Photographs depicting renovation of the Charles Nelson mansion at Olalla are framed within a walnut credence built in a traditional 1860 style. The Nelson residence was built in the steamboat era. A giant carved "hoot" owl head on top of the panels surveys the interior of the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse. More photographs of the Nelson mansion are visible beyond the first display. Joe Hoots Construction had a fully equipped shop and was known for their custom cabinets. They also offered planning and drafting service, new construction and remodeling of both commercial and residential buildings. Photograph ordered by National Home Show.
