Scope and content
In June of 1965, Douglas Tenzler was photographed standing next to a section of an old growth Douglas fir, almost 13 feet in diameter, which was installed outside of the new Flora B. Tenzler Memorial Library at 6300 Wildaire Road SW in Lakewood, one of the branches of the Pierce County Library system. The cross section of fir used to stand outside the entrance of the Northwest Door Company when Herman E. Tenzler was president of the company. The enormous old growth tree was cut on the company's timber holdings near Packwood in 1946. The log monument was officially unveiled on July 1, 1965, in a Lakes Summer Festival ceremony by its donor, Herman E. Tenzler. The library is named in honor of Mr. Tenzler's late wife.
