Scope and content
Aerial view, taken in June of 1971, of Point Defiance Park and environs. In the photograph's upper center is the Franke Tobey Jones Home and grounds. The English Tudor-styled retirement home opened in 1925 and was named after the wife of a founder of St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co. Mrs. Jones had donated four acres of land close to Point Defiance Park so that retirees could live with dignity in beautiful settings. The Franke Tobey Jones home is just a short distance through the trees to Point Defiance. A small portion of the 700-acre park is visible with the round Aquarium and exhibits. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank.
