Scope and content
Two well-dressed young ladies, Mrs. Joan Loechner (formerly Clark) and Mrs. John Schutzman (the former Shiela Widener), in a late-model convertible may be getting ready to park their vehicle in the large carport in the early evening of June 29, 1954. The carport is attached to the American Lake rambler style home of Loechner's parents Harrison and Myrtle Clark. The carport, however, has a flat roof in comparison to the slightly shallow-pitched roof on the rambler. Built of wood on a concrete foundation, the carport is partially enclosed with paneled walls on two sides. The panels are of grooved fir plywood siding called "Texture One-Eleven." The carport features exposed posts with 1x2 exposed stops which serve as the railing base for the textured panels. Small lights are affixed to the eaves, providing illumination at night. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. (TNT 9/19/1956, pg. E-17)
