Soldiers are allowed to buy their meals at the Camp Mills Hostess House cafeteria, but they may not congregate in the living room. Guests are entertained on the veranda. Forty-two Red Cross nurses, called in for extra work during the quarantine, are housed in the Y. GGA Image ID e So great was the demand for masks at hospitals around Camp Lewis, Washington, where influenza cases have been numerous, that everyone who could wield a needle and thread was pressed into service.
The whole of the Camp Meade Hostess House is being used as an auxiliary to the hospital. The reception center is designed like a lovely large home. It's decorated in lush furnishings. A large oak dance floor, indoor fountain, fireplace, full service bar is available. The decks and patios are enclosed and landscaped, including a gazebo in the garden. All the dining room tables are skirted with floor-length linens and a fresh flower arrangement is on each table.
They stayed until Fred has passed since this feature was first published on Dec. Lawton, Laura Kiehl recounted for Mann how the Army mule was sometimes substituted when either of the horses was not feeling well enough to cart her the long trek to school.
Laura already was a teenager when the lieutenants moved in and the Kiehl family moved out to Queen Anne Hill. In , Ambrose Kiehl. The first structure was the two-story board-and-batten shack shown here. Here the family, Isabella and Ambrose left and right, flanking their daughters Laura and Lorena , pose for a photographer who was probably Ambrose himself, running into the scene after setting a time-delayed shutter on one of his many cameras. Kiehl prepared his blueprints and then exposed them to the sun by opening the trap door.
Solar energy was required because the fort lacked electricity although it did have a telephone, as indicated by the pole on the right. The date is probably The first seven buildings were completed in Eventually, 25 main post buildings were set about an oval parade ground. It is far left in the aerial included below. The city declined. In any case the military might soon have taken it back. During World War II, new buildings were speedily erected to make Fort Lawton the sixth-largest point of embarcation for troops in the U.
More than ten years after local boosters began to lobby for a military post, Brig. Elwell S. He advised the War Department that they might be needed to keep the peace in boomtown Seattle. Four years later, clearing began on the acres coaxed from Magnolia pioneers for free or cheap by the local Chamber of Commerce for an as-yet-unnamed fort. In , when construction began, the fort got its namesake hero and added mission from the same source: the Philippines.
Henry Ware Lawton was killed in action there in and, as fanciful as it would later seem, the Spanish-American war painted the Pacific Coast with a fear of invasion. The scene of the guard and waiting station at the Fort Lawton terminus was most likely taken soon after the branch of the Ballard trolley line was completed in the summer of The military obliged with regular dress parades and concerts. You should be able to click the address directly or map above which will then take you to plate 34 of the Real Estate Map for a very detailed examination of it.
Note that it enters the then still largely proposed Ford Lawton. The maps shows the path crossing Interbay on a bridge at Interurban, which is still a bridge on Dravus Street. The wagon bridge to Ballard follows 14th Ave. NW and not the later bascule bridge on 15th. The Great Northern enters Ballard from Interbay on a curving trestle that comes close to snuggling with the wagon road.
It then ran along the Ballard waterfront, and was only rerouted to its new Bascule bridge at Shilshole when committed construction on the Chittenden locks began in Far right, the canal showing at Montlake is for logs and not vessels. The ship canal was dedicated 17 years later.
Find the trestle on Westlake at the southwest corner of Lake Union, and what a strange eastern shoreline the lake shows before most of the public works tampering. Imagine much of the bike path mileage passed then still through wooden copses thick enough to feel like forests.
Looking east over the Fort in The date was carefully determined with internal evidences by the Magnolia-Ballard wit, Hal Will — since deceased. Between the shoreline on the bottom right and Salmon Bay on the top, much of the fort is revealed. Officers Row is this side of the water tower, which is this side of the small forest where the barracks would be built during the Second World War.
The original barracks are the two large u-shaped structures seen from the rear and near the center of the aerial. The next photo shown features one of them. The long slender buildings on the left are stables for a fort that was designed for the cavalry and not the infantry.
Part of the non-commission officers homes are in a row — with trees — above the stables. And the hospital is above that, between two roads and two rows of trees. When it was completed in , the sweep of the Magnolia Bridge as it ascends west of Pier 91 was considered a modern engineering wonder. At nearly 4, feet, it was the largest of only three reinforced concrete spans built anywhere.
The big bridge was first proposed six years earlier when the West Wheeler Street Bridge was set on fire by a spark from a Great Northern locomotive passing beneath it. At first, the Seattle city council refused to build a high bridge to the bluff, since only 4, people lived west of Interbay and south of Ballard. The city chose a humble alternative by extending the West Garfield Street Bridge with a timber trestle that reached Magnolia at an elevation just a few feet above high tide.
Magnolians, however, organized the Garfield Bridge Club and persuaded the city to replace the trestle with the soaring trusses shown here. The strewn timbers of the temporary low bridge, cluttering the base of the new span, are also evident. This view was photographed Dec.
Then the tidelands of Interbay still reached far north of Garfield Street, requiring the bridge to be built above piles driven 20 to 40 feet into the ground. Now the tide basin has been reclaimed and blacktopped as a parking lot most often for Japanese imports. This last about imported cars was true in the spring of when the above was first written. This book is surely the most elegant neighborhood history yet produced hereabouts.
More than a dozen contributors have managed to fill it with charm and wit. No Seattle neighborhood resembles an island community as much as Magnolia. During the melting of the last ice age it most likely was an island.
Well into the 20th century it was almost an island until the Port of Seattle, the railroads and the city began filling in the once extensive Interbay tidelands. Still one must take a bridge to reach Magnolia. Later when the bucolic valley was dappled with small farms, it was called Pleasant Valley.
The early 20th-century view of a part of Pleasant Valley printed above looks to the north and a little east through a portion of the Marymount Dairy farm. The historical photographer — probably a member of the Hanson family that purchased the dairy farm in — stands either on or near what is now part of the West Magnolia Playground.
