Scope and content
Interior of model home. This is the cozy living room of the model home, "La Morada," built by Orville Island Construction Co. for the 1973 Tacoma Home Show. The home was located in University Place at 8504 -45th St. W. in the Fox Glen Div III development. A floor-to-ceiling white mission brick fireplace with dark brown Spanish tile hearth appears to be the focus point of the living room; arches contained a coat of arms and the actual fire pit. Comfortable swivel chairs and a striped sofa rested on the room's thick wall-to-wall multi-colored shag carpeting. Black wrought iron railings separate the living room from the step-up formal dining area. There was 1,670 sq. ft. of living space in the contemporary Spanish tri-level. Photograph ordered by the Home Builders Association of Greater Tacoma. (TNT 3-7-73, C-15- article; TNT 3-12-73 Home Show insert-article)
