Scope and content
The 2nd Annual Tacoma Beautiful Contest attracted six full buses of sightseers who traveled throughout Tacoma for the 2-hour Tour of Homes and Gardens. Following the tour, everyone gathered at Hotel Winthrop's Crystal Ballroom for a tea reception where Leon Titus announced the contest winners. John and Hazel Kellson's home and gardens in Parkland, shown here, won 2nd place. George Warter's home, located at 7829 Pacific Avenue, was the winner of the special award for the "Most Beautiful Home Grounds"; he was awarded a weeks vacation to Rainier National Park, all expenses paid. (T. Times, 7/12/48, p. 1).
