An unidentified man, possibly Joe Andre, and dog pose in front of the old John Rigney homestead in December 1935. The squared timber house, at 3751 South 74th St. was built in 1870, and was one of the first residences in Pierce County. In 1935, it was being remodeled in keeping with President Roosevelt's FHA modernization program. Some years later the building was deeded to the Washington State Historical Society and it was torn down in 1974. (T. Times).
