| Collection: | NWRPC-226 | | Front caption: | My Address is Still McCleary, Wash. Have you forgotten it? | | Date: | c. 1910 | | Notes: | 2103 | | Description: | The name of the city- "McCleary, Wash."- is printed in a colorful flag, and a small photograph of the town is pasted at the bottom of the card. McCleary is a community on Wildcat Creek, west of Olympia, Washington. The town began as a logging camp in 1898. In 1906, Henry McCleary built a mill for manufacturing doors. Business boomed, and in 1923 his plant broke a record by producing over 300,000 doors in 60 days. The Simpson Company bought out McCleary's company in 1941. The door manufacturing plant remains in business today. This photo appears to show mill workers' housing and a wooden pedestrian boardwalk spanning the muddy grounds. | | Subjects: | Doors; Mills--McCleary; Logging industry; Cities & towns--Washington; | | Category: | Other Cities and Towns | | Format: | 9 x 13.5 cm. b&w photograph postcard | | Scanned: | Scanned to TIFF format using DocketPORT 465 at 300 dpi front, 300 dpi back, on 5/15/2008 12:09:35 PM | | Dates: | Created: 5/15/2008 12:09:35 PM - last edited: 5/19/2008 12:42:29 PM |
