Description |
English: The Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Company, located just west of the north end of the Ballard Bridge, opened in 1890. This and other Ballard sawmills turned out millions of shingles and board feet of lumber until the shrinking supply of cedar logs brought about the end of the industry. In 1958 the largest fire in Seattle since the fire of 1889 broke out at the mill. The mill was rebuilt and regained peak production a year later, closing for good in 1973. This view of the Seattle Cedar mill shows the large stacks of lumber drying before it will be planed and sold. A few employees are on the ground moving smaller stacks around the mill. Visible on the tower at the center of the image is the logo for the company's trademark brand of cedar colonial siding and lumber, Maltese Cross.
