Scope and content
Construction crew hard at work on the recently moved and reconstructed Fort Nisqually at Point Defiance Park. They are putting together the logs and timbers just as they were 100 years ago. The reconstruction was made possible by the Young Mens' Business Club, which spent 5 years on the project. Construction was directed by R.E. Bornek and labor was financed through CWA & WERA funds. The group is working outside of the walls of the stockade. In the background to the right is one of the Fort's Bastions, used to mount "swivel guns" for protection, to the left is the Hudson's Bay Company store and Mount Rainier just peeks over the walls in the center.
