Along the Line:
Lumber Company Headquarters

Added September 2026. An early postcard view of the building housing the local McCloud River Lumber Company offices and later U.S. Plywood and its successor companies. The McCloud River Railroad and McCloud Railway Company leased the building to house its headquarters from the time the railroad’s own office burned to the ground in the closing days of 1990 up until a corner of the shop building was re-built into offices about 1993. A fine bed and breakfast now occupies the structure. Jeff Moore collection.


A later view of the structure after it had been remodeled and expanded and the upper part of the balloon track that once circled the original sawmill at the south end of town had been removed. The pipe entering the front of the structure was part of the pneumatic tube system used to move messages and documents between this structure, the mercantile building, and the railroad offices. Jeff Moore collection.



The building as it appears today. Jeff Moore.
