Scope and content
This home in the Hilltop neighborhood is in need of repair. The paint on the house is cracked and peeling and the home should be re-roofed. The chimney may need to be re-pointed. A tire rests against the side of the house near the metal clothes line poles. A picket fence seems to end abruptly as some of the fence has fallen over. This may be the Washington St. home of John Ristick which qualified for the home rehabilitation program jointly sponsored by the Tacoma Urban League and the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. The old bungalow is one of 53 units to be refurbished by April 1, 1970. 29 families of low income have already been placed in these specific homes. The Ristick home was purchased for $5300. When work is completed in three months, and brought up to FHA standards, the home will be worth $16,000.
