Hoodsport Washington State Residence O.T. Frasch Real Photo Postcard
Hoodsport, Washington, a small community on Hood Canal in Mason County, emerged in the late 19th century as a center for logging, fishing, and oyster farming. The residence depicted on this postcard represents a typical, well-established home from the early 20th century, likely built during a period of growth for the town. Its architectural style, with a prominent porch and picket fence, reflects the vernacular designs common in Pacific Northwest towns as they developed.
The postcard was produced by O. T. Frasch, a prolific photographer and publisher based in Seattle, Washington, active primarily between the 1900s and 1930s. Frasch extensively documented cities, towns, and natural landscapes across Washington state, preserving visual records of communities like Hoodsport during a transformative era of regional development and expansion. His work provides valuable insight into the local character and built environment of the Pacific Northwest in the early 20th century.
