Scope and content
A large storage shed was the focus of this promotional photograph taken on behalf of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association in January of 1959. The shed door is open showing shelves full of gardening equipment and supplies. For a closer look at the shed, see A118944-A. The overhanging roof would provide shelter in case of rain. Walt Widmeyer had designed the plywood storage unit for his own home in Fircrest located at 612 Dartmouth St. The storage shed plans were for sale by the DFPA and were featured in various magazines. As noted by a reader, the woman in the photograph was a professional model and not a member of the Widmeyer family. (Additional information provided by a reader).
