Building History

This plant occupied a site on the southeast frontage on the Snohomish River, nearby to the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's Plants B and C. As noted in the WPA Writer's Guide to Washington, Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State, the Everett Pulp and Paper Company Mill was in operation in 1941. (See Writer's Program (WA), Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State, [Portland, Or., Binfords & Mort, 1941], p. 198.)

By 1901, the Puget Sound Pulp and Paper Company had changed its name to the Everett Pulp and Paper Company, with F.T. Gates installed as President, and William Howarth the General Manager. By 1915, William Howarth (1864-1937), had become a well-respected civic leader, and he had moved up to become the President-Treasurer of the Everett Pulp and Paper Company, with A.H.B. Jordan and William Pilz acting as Vice-President and Assistant Treasurer, respectively.
