Scope and content
Wood carving. A wood carving of two barefoot children crouching at the base of a cliff was placed outdoors at 4827 Sixth Ave. on May 25, 1967 to be photographed. Two modern edifices with many windows were built on the carving's hillside. This 4 X 3-foot wood panel, one of eight commissioned by Pacific First Federal Savings & Loan Assn., was carved by award-winning Tacoma artist Art McKellips. The panels were part of his large wood mural, entitled "History of Housing," that depicted the styles and periods of housing. Photograph ordered by Pacific First Federal Savings & Loan Assn.
