These houses were purchased from the Sears catalog long ago. They look pretty good for a catalog order. (Wonder if they delivered or had to be picked up from the store. lol)

Gravesite of Chief Nahcati in a cemetery in Oysterville, Washington
Oysterville was settled in 1854 by R.H. Espy and I. A. Clark. They had agreed on a rendezvous with Chief Nahcati who had told Espy of tidelands covered with succulent oysters. On April 20, as they paddled north from the head of the bay, they became engulfed by a heavy fog. Their sense of direction vanished and they feared they would be swept out to sea. However, Nahcati had spotted them before the fog rolled in and, by rhythmically pounding on a hollow log, directed them to shore. Nahcati had not exaggerated. The mudflats were piled high with tiny native oysters, there for the taking.

The Nutty Narrows Bridge in Longview, Washington, spans across a busy roadway and was constructed in an effort to reduce the number of squirrel casualties. The bridge was built by Amos J. Peters and a statue was erected in his honor in a park located on the same roadway. The bridge is 60 feet long and cost approximately $1000 to construct and install in 1963.
