Exterior of home located in the 1700 block of South "K." House, according to the 1968 City Directory, was listed as vacant. The two-story Colonial-styled home at 1710-12 South "K" (now Martin Luther King Jr. Way) appeared to be in poor condition with little front and side yard. It was built in 1908 by architect John Kerrigan. The Narcotics Center of Tacoma had asked the city for a special use permit to allow establishment of a group-care home on the west side of South "K" between 17th & 18th Sts. The Narcotics Center, part of the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc., anti-poverty program, wanted to make the former apartment house at 1710-12 South "K" into a halfway home for nine recovering addicts. It subsequently withdrew its application for the special permit at this location and asked the mayor for help in determining appropriate sites.

Front entrance to Capitol Club at the Lively Oaks Apartments. It appears that the clubhouse at the Lively Oaks, 8101 - 83rd Ave. S.W., Lakewood, has changed its name to the Capitol Club. Earlier photographs taken in mid-December, 1967, showed the same exterior with a different sign, " Lively Oaks Club." It remained a members-only facility which included fireside rooms and billiards/pingpong areas. The Lively Oaks' theme was "Come Live the Good Life;" besides the luxurious clubhouse, the complex offered heated indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, health spas and more.
