Hall, Owen L., 1908-1981

Born in Renton, Wash., Owen L. Hall was a lifelong resident of Seattle, living in the University District for much of his adult life. Hall worked in the lumber industry as a logger in Washington State for several years in the late 1930s-early 1940s, and developed a lasting interest in forestry. Over the years, Hall collected artifacts and images related to the lumber industry: saws, axes, and other small tools, and photographs and postcards of lumber crews, sawmills, equipment, and other subjects related to lumber and logging. Owen L. Hall died in 1981.
