Order an Image
This Clark Kinsey photo of employees and bunkhouses at a Polson Logging Company camp was probably taken somewhere near Grays Harbor. The portable dwellings were hauled from place to place along the logging railroad.

Clark Kinsey started taking photographs in western Washington in the 1890s. He spent several years in the Klondike before returning to the Puget Sound region. In 1913, he and his brother Darius began more than 30 years of work documenting the area's logging industry for lumber companies. They worked independently, with Clark primarily covering the area south of Seattle and Darius mainly working to the north.
