Order an Image
In 1915, Humboldt County, California, sent an exhibit to San Francisco's Pan-Pacific Exposition housed in sections of a giant redwood log. After the fair was over, the buildings were moved to Venice, California and became the Big Tree Inn. In 1921, the inn was moved from California to a site near Des Moines, Washington, where it served as a restaurant. The buildings were moved two miles to Highway 99 in 1938. It was later destroyed by fire.

This photo, probably taken in 1921, shows the dining room at the Big Tree Inn near Des Moines, Washington. The dining room was small, with only about six tables.
