Grounds of Boeing executive Philip G. Johnson's house, Woodway, Washington -- film, circa 1936
Contents of the Collection
The Peter M. Wood Boeing Family Film Collection contains six films, primarily home movies of Boeing family members and associates, from about 1930-1940. The films range in length from about one minute to about 15 minutes.
The first five films are home movies depicting family activities and parties. Some of the footage depicts the construction of the Philip G. Johnson family home in Woodway, Washington. The house was designed by architect David Myers and later, from 1951-2009, was used as a convent by the Dominican Sisters of Edmonds.
The final film in the series is an official Boeing film and depicts Edgar Gott conferring with U.S. military officers. Aside from the last film, none of the films contain aircraft footage or footage pertaining to the Boeing Company.
