Aerial view of Franke Tobey Jones retirement home and surrounding acreage as seen by air in June of 1971. The Tudor-styled home, established in 1925 as a non-profit retirement community, is next door to Point Defiance. Due to the generosity of Mrs. Jones, whose husband was a co-founder of a major lumber concern in Tacoma, the retirement home was able to be built for $150,000. She had donated the money and also the four acres of land on which the building would stand. By 2006, the Franke Tobey Jones campus had expanded to 20 acres and included the new Garden Apartments and M.J. Wicks Family Wellness Center. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank.
