GREENWOOD-028 Back

Printed on back: My pioneer home shown in the illustration, located in Pioneer Park, Puyallup, Washington, was our abiding place for many long years of sweet memory. Here some of our children were born to us and all our family grew up to manhood and womanhood, and small wonder many tender recollections remain. The ivy vine, planted forty years ago upon the birth of a child, now covers the form of the old house completely, supported by fresh framework (maintained by the city of Puyallup) which will preserve the shape of the pioneer abode long after all vestige of the original relic has disappeared. Depth of the alluvial deposit under the ivy stock 144 feet; size of ivy stock at base 9 inches in diameter.

  • View of the serene lake at the foot of forested mountains. Lake Crescent, located in the Olympic National Park area, is 10 miles long and over 600 feet deep. It was originally called "Lake Everett" before being rechristened in 1890 by the citizens of nearby Port Crescent. Carved out by glaciers, this is one of the deepest lakes in Washington State, and has the appearance of a fjord. Prior to the completion of the Olympic Highway in 1922, the lake was used as a transportation link between Port Townsend and the northwest Olympic Peninsula, and was travelled by steamboat.

  • View of the Crown Point promontory at the Columbia River Gorge. This scenic lookout point is about 15 miles east of Portland. The Columbia River Highway was constructed between 1913-1922, and a building called Vista House was erected at Crown Point in 1916. Vista House is a landmark today, serving as a rest station and interpretative center. In this photo, it appears that the building is in the beginning stages of construction. Far below Crown Point, we see the Rooster Rock formation, a basalt column first recorded by the Lewis & Clark expedition.

  • Strollers, bathers, and bikers enjoy a sunny day at Green Lake. The lake was originally named "Lake Green" in 1855, due to its preponderous of algae blooms. In 1903, a park was built around the lake. A bathhouse was added in 1927 and an Aqua Theater in 1950 which featured "swimusicals". The Aqua Theater ran until 1965, but was still used occasionally for concerts until a 1969 Grateful Dead show demonstrated how dangerous and crumbling the grandstand had become. The bathhouse, however, is still in use as a theater for local productions, and the park is a very popular place to be on sunny days.
