PhotographerWebster & Stevens
Dateca. 1912
CaptionIn the summertime, some Seattle residents enjoyed camping on the shore of Lake Washington and other area lakes and bays. Others spent at least part of the summer at lakeside cabins.

In this photo, taken around 1912, a woman and two girls pose for the photographer at their summer house. The cabin seems to be completely decorated for the Fourth of July. A rowboat is pulled up on the shore, and a Salish-style dugout canoe sits on sawhorses.
NotesHandwritten on sleeve: Summer home.
