ca. 1964. Majestic Mount Rainier peers over massive timber reserves for St. Regis Paper Co. in this ca. 1964 photograph. These great stands of timber in the foothills of the mountain are included in the Kapowsin Tree Farm which adjoins the western boundary of Mount Rainier National Park. The timber is mostly old-growth Douglas fir and hemlock. They will furnish raw material required by St. Regis' manufacturing operations in Tacoma. (1964 St. Regis Annual Report, cover, p. 1)

Exterior of Kaiser Dome. Dirt walls form a protective barrier around the exterior of the new Kaiser Dome located on Pier 7 in the Tacoma Tideflats in March, 1967. This was the Port of Tacoma's new alumina storage facility that would hold 50,000+ tons of alumina. The Port had a contract with Kaiser Aluminum and expected 40,000 tons a month. The conveying system/crane partially shown was 150 feet high and 200+ feet with boom raised. Photograph ordered by Allen, Dorward & Scroggin, Portland. (TNT 11-13-66, D-19)

At first glance it is difficult to determine what this orb with extending rays is. This March 10, 1967, photograph was apparently taken looking directly up at the ceiling of the new Kaiser Dome located on the Tacoma Tideflats. The "rays" were laminated timbers extending from the walls to the ceiling. The dome was built by the Port of Tacoma to store 50,000 tons of alumina under contract with Kaiser Aluminum. It, and the corresponding load-out system, was part of the 1.6 million dollar bulk cargo facility improvements at Pier 7. Photograph ordered by Allen, Dorward & Scroggin, Portland.

ca. 1926. Architect's model of Masonic Home, Des Moines, WA. George Gove of Heath, Gove and Bell, Architect. At the turn of the century, state Masons acknowledged the need for a safe haven for aged Masons, wives, widows and widowed mothers. The first Masonic Home was located in Puyallup, but the need soon outgrew the facility. In 1924, 82 acres were purchased in Zenith (now Des Moines) for approximately $79,000. On June 21, 1927, the $750,000 facility was dedicated. The current address for the Home is 23660 Marine View Dr. S., Des Moines, WA. (TT 6/21/1927, pg. 5) (filed with Argentum)

October, 1967, scenes from an Idaho mill. A Potlatch Forests, Inc., employee must carefully monitor the controls of the Chip-N-Saw as it processes logs.

Logs could be fed through in a continuous stream. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York, for Potlatch Forests' 1967 annual report.
