| Title | Workers in shingle mill, ca. 1915 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | ca. 1915 |
| Caption | By 1893, Washington state had 150 mills which cut cedar shingles and sent them by rail to the rest of the United States. Cedar shingles make a good roof and wall covering because they are strong and light, and they shed rain and snow easily.
In this photo, taken at a Washington mill in about 1915, workers are shown preparing shingle bolts. |
