Photo taken at the shake and shingle claim of "Oley" C. Hansen. A claim such as Hansen's could provide a comfortable living for the owner and his employees, As Redwood shingles, shakes, and shake bolts were in great demand for the roofing of houses. Many trees of prime redwood fell for this purpose in the earliest days. A man could cut one tree, and spend a year or more breaking it into shakes.
