The home once located at 4209 Beach Drive SW was owned by an actress, Nancy Kilgas. Nancy was in several films, including Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Oklahoma.
The home on Beach Drive has seemed abandoned since we’ve lived here (about 20 years). We used to walk by it and wonder about the stories the old home could have told once upon a time. I know I have more photos of it that I’ve taken…and when/if I find them, I’ll add them to this post.
It has recently been demolished and it appears there will be three homes (townhomes) put in it’s place.
With the recent changes to zoning in Washington state, you can expect more single-unit homes to be demolished for multi-unit homes.
Thank you for writing this. I’m a fan of Nancy Kilgas. Love to see other pictures of her home. There isn’t much about her life. Not even a obituary was was written.
Thanks♡
