Model home. This affordable four bedroom rambler, the "Suburbanite," was built by the S.L. Rowland Co. and was featured as one of the three model homes displayed on permanent sites for the 33rd annual Tacoma Home Show. Each year Homebuilders Association of Greater Tacoma members, sponsors of the Home Show, would build two or more model homes in time for the spring Home Show, thus allowing potential home buyers to check out the newest trends in the field. This particular home was nestled among large firs and madronas in Spanaway. The covered, recessed porch welcomed all to the 1,730 square foot, fully insulated home. It was equipped with an electric forced-air heating system, almond colored appliances and an abundance of cabinets. The interiors were spacious and well designed.

The home in the new Meadowcreek subdivision was on display in March of that year, in time for the Tacoma Home Show.

The Georgetown model home. One of the five bedrooms designed by Pete Naccarato for Heritage Homecrafters' "Georgetown" model home was evidently meant for youngsters, probably boys. The bedroom could easily fit two twin beds constructed in a roughly hewn style and decorated with bold patterned bedspreads and matching curtains. Framed pictures of Indian warriors hang on one wall while miniature trains, boats and toy figurines add to the room's appeal. One bedside lamp appears to have as its base a parking meter. This home was built on a permanent site in Puyallup for the 1976 Tacoma Home Show. Photograph ordered by the Homebuilders Association of Greater Tacoma. (TNT 3-8-76, Home Show insert-article)
