The life and times of Deer Park, Washington, big brother to Clayton and Loon Lake.

Prior to a town, land was cleared. Timber stands extended in every direction. Visible in the photo to the right are large tree stumps yet to be removed. Few impliments are in use today that were used in logging during this era. An Axe and blasting powder being 2 of them.

This is the earliest known photograph of Deer Park, WA. Taken in 1894.

The largest store in town in the 1800s.

Originally The Peoples Supply, later renamed Kelly's

"NOTE" This photograph is a much enhanced photo of what appears to be scanned from the original photo. Compliments of Marilyn Magney Newkirk, Author of 'The Legacy of yesteryear' Available at Aunties Book Store in Spokane amoung many other sources. The Short Boarding House and where very early times Sunday School and Church services were conducted. It is said this business sat where the Open Door Congregational Church was built ans stll stands today.

Interesting historic fact. Ben Renner and his partner Tuffy Luhr.

The newly built Open Door Congregational Church. This photo appears in the May 2008 edition of the Deer Park Gazette in an article by Rev. Berg, current pastor. This photo is from the collection of Mr. Lawrence Zimmerer. We feel deeply honored to be part of the celebration of his one full century of life in Deer Park, WA. We also wish to acknowledge the total cooporation of Mrs. Sue Kelsch and Mrs. Pat Bardon of the Gazette for allowing us to put this picture in this album.

Even though this picture was taken in 1968 a few of those early Vintage trucks still plied the Streets of Downtown Deer Park.

Very few standing Timber photos were taken, Although this was taken in the area it is not known who is in or exactly where. Because Timber was the first Industry in and around Deer Park, an effort was made to share a few logging and Tall Timber Tales.

Then by 1940 the street was imaculate, lined with cars of all colors and inticate design. Each make and model distinctively identifieable Some had Smitties including Pat Henry' 36 ford Coupe. No other make could hold a candle to the sound of a ford with Smitties. Other than that they lived up to their name. FORD. Fix or repair daily !!!!!

There is one old growth pine tree still standing where you can drive right to it. It is located in the Old Morgan Park location. In the following photo, please notice the pine tree just this side of the Ferris wheel. This picture was taken in the early 1900s, say a hundred years ago and it was a good sized tree at that time.To give a perspective of its size, note Bill Sebright just visable to the left of the tree and his full size SUV on the right.

A haphazard Business section soon materialized.

The same virgin pine still stands today.

In A quarter of a Century Main Street Deer Park was Archictualy designed, & Oriented.

This logging camp was located in the Puget Sound area.

This photo of Deer park 1940 is courtesy of Jack Lewis. The street is paved and lined with cars of distinctive design. Odds are some equipped with Smitties. The Odds are that no make sounds better than a Ford with Smitties. Odds are every one of them are Black. RIGHT?

The notation reads that this team of mules pulled the Clayton school bus for four years and now pulling logs in 1915.

WRONG !!!

Dropping this tree took awhile with a two man crosscut.

What would the Deer Park Settlers Parade be without Horses?

A brand new rig to pull logs out to the rail siding with. The mule teams are on their way out.

The Open Door Congregational church lives on with all the beauty of by gone years. Yet the settlers are all gone and the sons of the sons of the pioneers are slowly dwindling in number. Here, his body lying in state, is Alwood Aamodt. He was a gentleman and family and friends grieve the loss. January 2, 2008.

A early photograph of downtown Deer Park. When is uncertain.

Another very nice load of logs heading down Main Street Deer Park in 1925.

Joining hands with the lumber and farming Industry was the Arcadia Apple Orchards. Monumental in scope and the community grew in dynamic fashion.

There are two stands of virgin timber still located in our Inland Empire as examples of what must have stood in the Deer Park-Clayton area. A few acres off the beaten path between Priest River and Priest Lake Idaho. Another is this one in the Bull River run on the Montana side of its border with Idaho. In both instances these two small tracts of timber were spared from both forest fire and the woodsman's axes. These trees date back to when Columbus discovered America. It is awe inspiring to say the least. This photo of Don Clouse and his sister-in-law Mary was taken in the late1980s.

The Deer Park Pine was only one of over a dozen scattered throughout the immediate area but it survived by far the longest.

The foothills Purple Mountains majesty. The Foot Hills of Mt. Spokane.

Though the vast beautiful stands of virgin timber have long since disappeared, Beauty abounds. Looking toward MT. Spokane from Half Moon Prairie at 5.30 AM on Clayton Day 2008.
