ca. 1934. Dr. Joseph Huggins (left), "Little Joe" the youngest of the Huggins boys raised at Fort Nisqually, and W.P. Bonney (right), secretary of the State Historical Society, at the door of Fort Nisqually Factor's House after the reconstruction of the Hudson's Bay Co. post at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. They are looking for the marks made on the post made by Edward Huggins to measure the height of his growing young sons. Time and weather had obliterated the marks. A drive to move Fort Nisqually from its original location in DuPont to a bluff overlooking the Narrows was begun by the Young Men's Business Club of Tacoma. It culminated in the Fort's formal dedication September 3, 1934. Only two of the original buildings could be moved, the Factor's House, pictured, and the Granary. The Factor's House was built in 1854 for Dr. Tolmie in the new "Yankee style," to replace the smaller and older Tyee House. (E.T. Short's column T. Times 8-18-1934; Fort Nisqually web site)

ca. 1934. Dr. Joseph Huggins of Philadelphia, who spent his childhood at Fort Nisqually, views the reconstruction of the fort at Point Defiance Park from the steps of the Granary. As Dr. Huggins gazed over the rebuilt fort, he said that it looked "pretty much like the old place." The restoration had its formal dedication on September 3, 1934, more than 100 years after the fort's original construction in 1833. The original Fort Nisqually, a Hudson's Bay Co. fur gathering post and the first settlement in Pierce County, was located in DuPont. A movement was spearheaded by the Young Men's Business Club of Tacoma to move it to a high bluff in Point Defiance Park overlooking the Narrows and restore it. The only original buildings that were still intact were the Granary, pictured, and the Factor's house. The Granary was constructed in 1851, making it the oldest standing building in the state of Washington. It was a storage facility for the posts' grain and harvest.

ca. 1934. View of Citizens Military Training Camp (C.M.T.C.) constructed in a vast open field and containing a number of buildings and tents. Uniformed men are lined-up across the parade ground. After World War I, the country could not afford to maintain a large standing army. Nor could it afford the time needed to train hastily summoned volunteers in an emergency. The compromise was the Citizens Training Camps. In these annual camps held in the summer, young men interested in military careers could train as well as reservists needing a refresher course. (T. Times). (WSHS)
