Black smith shop on Center Street & Rainier
Black smith shop on Center Street & Rainier

Long before there was Eatonville Auto Center or Arrow Hardware, Mr. Casey and Mr. Johnson had their blacksmith shop on Center Street and Rainier.

You can see the forge in back where they heated up the metal. The anvil sits front of Mr. Johnson where they forged the metal into shapes using the sledge hammer leaning against anvil.

The temperatures must have been sweltering. Luckily, it looks like the building was well ventilated.
