Scope and content
The Jessie Dyslin Boys' Ranch was located in the Summit area of Pierce County. Mrs. Jessie Dyslin deeded her 15-acre ranch to the Children's Industrial Home board in 1926. Set up as a home for teenage boys in the mid-1920's, later years saw the building of "cottage" style dormitories. The Young Men's Business Club had played an instrumental role in the growth and development of the ranch. View of two dormitories on the ranch in rural Pierce County, both have identifying signs; a dog sits alertly on the lawn before the cottages. Photograph ordered by the Young Men's Business Club.
