Scope and content
This view of the boat moorage and clubhouse of the Tacoma Yacht Club, located at the east tip of Point Defiance Park just north of Ruston, dates from August of 1936. The clubhouse had just been remodeled from plans by Silas E. Nelsen, Architect. The three story building had a lounge, billiard room and 50 X 35 foot sun porch, with an unobstructed view of the Puget Sound, on the second floor; the top floor housed the dance hall. A completely new club building was built in 1971. (T. Times 8/21/1936, pg. 1)
