Biographical Note

Juleen Studio was an Everett commercial photo studio, 1908-1954, first in the hands of John Albert Juleen (1874-1935) and, following John's death, under the ownership of his wife Lee, Lena Dalquist Juleen, who died in 1955. Juleen opened his first photo studio in Everett's Colby building, located on the southwest corner of Hewitt and Colby. Later Juleen Studios were located in the Eclipse Building at 2810 Colby in 1912; 1709 Hewitt Avenue, circa 1921; and 2930 Rockefeller in 1923. For a time, Lee Juleen operated the studio in Everett's Bon Marche building.

Other Descriptive Information

Opened in 1921 by Wyatt and Bethel Rucker, Big Four Inn was a popular resort destination for wealthy individuals and celebrities. It was reached by Hartford & Eastern Railroad which ran all the way from Hartford, near Lake Stevens, to Monte Cristo. Monte Cristo was established due to a mining boom in the 1890s. By 1907 production ceased. Over the next few decades the town was abandoned. Flooding plagued the Hartford & Easton Railroad. Big Four Inn changed hands several times in the 1930s and was then unreachable by railroad when the Hartford & Eastern was abandoned. The resort was taken over by the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II, though it reopened after the war. On September 7, 1949 Big Four Inn burned to the ground.
