Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Between November 5 to December 4, 1955, four model homes of the Lincoln House and Garden Park and Pool Club development built by Tobin Co. were showcased. Tobin's Park and Pool plan was promoted to include a private community park surrounded by homes, set to be sold for $14,000, with a 70-foot swimming pool, a recreation building, and three play areas scattered over a two-acre parcel. During the home show, it was announced that 600 hundred families from the immediate area would receive a free membership to the club.
Looking northwest from where Lincoln Avenue, which runs diagonally through the center, crosses Knott Avenue (bottom right corner). The Tobin Park and Pool Homes show tent is seen in the center of the image at Lincoln Avenue and Via Vista Drive. Directly west of the show is the Lincoln Drive-In (demolished in 1996). The small hexagonal building seen in the foreground is part of the former Luebkeman/Anaheim Airport. A large housing tract located north of Crescent Avenue is seen in the background on the right. Photographed for Irwin Advertising Agency Model Homes & Home Show on November 22, 1955.
