  Forest Grove Hotel with trolley tracks

  Postcard photograph of the Forest Grove Hotel probably dating from around 1910, with a letter from Edith Pechin written on the reverse. The hotel stood in downtown Forest Grove on the south side of Pacific Avenue between A and Main streets, approximately where the Community School stands today. It was also known as "Mrs. Sloan's Hotel" or "The Sloan." Based on the sign, this photographs dates from after the Sloan family had sold the hotel around 1905. In earlier years, it had been a stagecoach stop on the route between Tillamook and Portland. The tracks in the street appear to be from a trolley that ran through downtown Forest Grove. It was a cross-gabled, Carpenter Gothic building with gingerbread trim around the front porch posts and the eaves. Built in 1862, it had been replaced with another building by the 1930s.
