Scope and content
Bedroom in 1968 Model Home. The "Barcelona," located in the Westgate subdivision, was one of the Model Homes open to the public at the 21st Tacoma Home Show in March, 1968. Built by builder Bud Crest, it was located at 2824 Claremont Dr., off Pearl at No. 28th St. Prior to the opening of the Home Show, photographs were taken of the model home's exterior and interior. One of the home's three bedrooms, pictured above, was spacious enough to hold a double bed, large chest of drawers and bedside drawers. This could be used as a guest bedroom. There is an unusual lamp created out of a doll displayed on the large chest of drawers. The "Barcelona," built in a modified Mediterranean design, was constructed out of rough-sawn plywood. It totaled 1035 square feet and could be purchased for a modest $14,700 plus land costs. Photograph ordered by Home Builders Association of Greater Tacoma. (TNT 3-18-68, p. 31, 32, 33)
