Scope and content
House at 417 No. E St., Tacoma. Photograph was taken for a real estate ad and ordered by R.G. Walker & Co., realtors, in February of 1931. House was vacant at the time. The Georgian period Colonial home was built in 1906 for George Lewis Gower. It was designed by the architectural firm of Russell and Babcock. After Gower's death, the home was purchased in 1920 by Leonard Howarth. After the death of Mr. Howarth, the home was sold by Janie M. Rice, the Howarth housekeeper, to Mrs. Anita Thorne Corse, the daughter of Chester Thorne. After her marriage to General David Stone, the couple relocated to the family home Thornewood. She sold this Colonial in 1935 to J.P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr. In 1948, it was remodeled into apartments.
