Model Helene Williamson is photographed on March 5, 1958, at the sewing table and cabinet in the Joe L. Long, Jr., Lakewood residence. There is an overhead cabinet with sliding doors that could hold sewing items that do not fit on the nearby plywood shelves. Spools of thread, balls of yarn, sewing magazines and pattern books all fit neatly on the open shelving. Plenty of natural light to sew by, and admire the lake view, is available through the home's many windows. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

A small, desktop model Singer sewing machine has been removed from its table at the Joe L. Long, Jr., residence in Lakewood. The machine has been threaded and still has a full spool of thread. An opening has been cut into the plywood sewing table so that the machine can be upended and hidden from view. The table can then be used to cut material or for other uses.

The living room of Joe L. Long, Jr.'s residence takes full advantage of the beautiful lakeview through the expansive glass picture windows. The contemporary styled home appears to be two-storied as it has an elevated view of the waterfront. The large living room comes equipped with enormous brick fireplace; exposed beams bring in a touch of the northwest into the home. Photograph ordered by Timber Structures, Inc., Portland, Oregon.
