David T Denny at Lake Keechelus cabin, 1899 (MOHAI 2454)

During the summer of 1899, Seattle pioneer David Denny supervised the improvement of 27 miles of wagon road through Snoqualmie Pass, from North Bend, Washington, to the south end of Lake Keechelus. Between the beginning of June and the end of September, workers blasted and moved rocks, built bridges, resurfaced parts of the old road with logs and relocated the road completely where necessary.
This 1899 photo shows David Denny sitting outside his cabin near Lake Keechelus. He lived at the cabin during the summer he worked on the Snoqualmie Pass wagon road. The cabin was near some of the Denny family's mining claims.
