Scope and content
Magenta model home built for 1972 Tacoma Home Show. Built by Crest Builders in the Oxford development of Steilacoom, the "Magenta" was a contemporary one-story wood-framed home with two-car garage. Its kitchen, shown above in mid-March, 1972, presented a bright and modern look. Countertops, window dressings, clock and chair upholstery all had a cheerful mauve tone. The extensive use of white cabinetry and appliances, unique dining set and light floor covering probably made the kitchen area appear much larger than its actual size. Color photograph ordered by the Home Builders Association of Greater Tacoma. (TNT 3-27-72, p. 7 - ad)
