A house partially obscured by snow-covered trees. The house may be associated with the Clapshaw Family who lived in the Hillside neighborhood northwest of Forest Grove, Oregon. The house may have been in Hillside, Gales Creek, or Banks. The photograph was taken by William Alonso Clapshaw, probably circa 1910-1914.
A large, two-and-a-half story house in the countryside near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. It appears to have been relatively new when the photograph was taken. It displays some Craftsman-style elements including wide porches, tapered wood columns and dormers. It is standing in front of an older, smaller house. The yard by the house has been mown recently, with loose stacks of hay on the ground. Several outbuildings and trees appear in the background. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. For another, albeit damaged, view of the same house, see image PUA_MS154_058.
A small house with clapboard siding in the countryside near Forest Grove, Oregon. The house has a wood shingle roof and a central chimney, surrounded by a large grass lawn. A girl and a dog stand in the background. Trees and bushes are planted around the yard. It was taken circa 1910-1914 by William Alonso Clapshaw.
A man, a woman and a boy stand in front of a farmhouse near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. The child, perhaps around 5 years old, is wearing a sailor-style outfit and holding what may be a baseball bat. The woman appears to be older (possibly the grandmother of the boy), and is wearing a nice but somewhat outdated dress. The man is wearing overalls and a straw hat. Their two-story house has a screen door on the second floor that leads directly onto the porch roof. Fruit trees and an outbuilding are in the background on the left. The photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw, exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The other half of the glass plate was used to make another photograph of a barn that may have been on the same property; see image PUA_MS154_027b. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A small house, probably in the forested hills of the Coast Range northwest of Forest Grove, Oregon; possibly near Hillside, Gales Creek or Hayward. The house is a very modest structure, probably consisting of just one or two rooms, with a pyramidal hip roof. A man, a boy and a horse stand on the left. A shed or small barn stands behind the house, and another small but tall-roofed outbuilding sits to the left. The latter structure might be a smokehouse. The land around the house has been cleared of trees recently, with many stumps and ferns still present in the foreground. An old wood plank sidewalk is also visible. The forested hill in the background looks like it may have been burned, with dead snags left standing. All of the structures including the fences appear to have been built recently before the photograph was taken. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A man and woman leading a dog and a horse pose in front of a small house. The man wears overalls while the woman wears an apron and house dress. The house is one-and-a-half stories tall, with clapboard siding and an offset central chimney. A balcony over the front door appears to have been recently removed, leaving an unusable door on the second floor. The front yard is overgrown with grass. In the background, a fence, fruit trees and a ladder are visible. The dog resembles a border collie and the horse appears to be an American Quarter Horse. The people in the image may be the friends or family of the photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw.
Three women stand on the porch of a well-kept house in the countryside in the vicinity of Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914; possibly near Hillside, Banks or Gales Creek. The two younger women who appear to be in their teens are dressed identically in loose shirts with wide collars; they may be sisters. The older woman may be their grandmother. The house is of fine quality for a farmhouse of this period, with several elements of Craftsman style including the porch, dormers on the second floor, exposed rafters, tapered pillars, and a front door with a window and exterior sill. A line of rose bushes stands in front of the house, along with cement stairs and a gated fence. A windmill, possibly sitting on top of a small water tower, is in the background. An outbuilding is behind the house on the left.
A house in the countryside near Forest Grove, Oregon, circa 1910-1914. The home may be in the Hillside, Gales Creek or Banks areas. A man stands on the porch facing the camera. The home is one-and-a-half stories high with a porch that wraps around one corner, and a shed connected by a covered walkway to its rear. A wood plank walkway lined with flowers (possibly foxgloves and dahlias) connects the home to the street. The photographer was standing just outside the open gate leading from the house to the street.
A farmhouse in the countryside near Forest Grove, Oregon, circa 1910-1914; possibly around Hillside or the town of Banks. An older couple are on the porch, with the man sitting in a rocking chair and holding a cat. The house is relatively small with a pyramidal hip roof, a single dormer window, a small addition (probably a kitchen) on the back, and several sheds or outbuildings in the rear. A low-lying, leafy vegetable crop (possibly rhubarb?) is growing directly next to their house. Flaws in the image are due to deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
An house with a side gable near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914; possibly located around Hillside, Gales Creek or Banks. The house appears to be already several decades old in this photograph, perhaps dating from the 1870s-80s. A dog, possibly a collie mix, sits on the grass in the foreground near several fruit trees. Flaws in the image are due to deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A family stands on the porch of a large house in the vicinity of Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914, possibly near Banks or Hillside. The family appears to include a mother, father, their two daughters and a son, all dressed up in nice clothes. The girls wear matching dresses and large bows on their heads, while the boy wears a sailor-style outfit. The house appears to have been recently constructed at the time this photograph was taken. It is two-and-a-half stories tall with two chimneys and some elements of Craftsman style, including a large porch, one dormer, stained glass over the front windows, tapered columns, and a front door with a window and sill. Wood plank sidewalks lead around the house. Several sheds or outbuildings appear in the background.
