The Tacoma Drama League had a full program of plays scheduled for the 1934-35 season. The first production was a revival of the old fashioned melodrama "The Streets of New York". In their effort to recreate the true atmosphere of an old time play, special scenery, costuming and lighting had to be designed and constructed. From 1933 through 1939 the Tacoma Little Theater productions were presented on the stage of the Slavonian Hall at 2306 No. 30th St. In 1940 they moved to their current home at 210-12 No. I St.

The gutters were manufactured at the Houston Treated Wood Co. owned by Tacoman Ross Houston and were patented in the US and Canada. The gutters were carved from whole pieces of timber, treated for waterproofing and longevity and then set into place with stakes.They were being installed under contract in Tacoma as street gutters.
