Notes
  • Significance: The Pacific Creosoting Plant/Wyckoff Facility was a creosote plant constructed circa 1905. During the early twentieth century, as many as 100 men worked at the plant, and most of them lived at the site. By the mid-1930s, it had become one of the largest creosote plants in the world. This facility featured eight to nine large retorts which were used in seasoning green wood, and in the injection of treating solution. In addition to the workers' houses and a general store, major buildings included a machine shop and boiler and engine rooms. Until it closed in the 1980s, the Wyckoff Facility remained a primary force in the economy of Bainbridge Island, providing ties, poles, pilings, and lumber to markets throughout the world. Its products were used in major construction projects in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Alaska, Saudi Arabia, and other locations. The remaining historical buildings and structures are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and this HAER documentation is part of mitigation at the site.
