Sepia-toned image mounted on heavy mat of a row of children and a few adults. The children are sitting in a field, with a farmhouse and barns and more fields behind them. A few adults stand behind them. Most of the children wear overalls and hats, and the boys sit to the right of the row while the girls are on the image left. The woman and man in the middle of the photo have two small children standing beside them and could be the owners of the farm.
Black and white image of a large group of students gathered along the boardwalk in front of their two-story school building with their teachers. Note the various lengths of pants worn by the boys in the front row; some are still wearing the short pants that were popular for young boys, while others simply wear long pants. By this time few boys of school age wore the traditional skirts, but many young boys still wore 'short pants' until they reached an age where their families would allow them to wear long pants. The two women standing at the far left of the image are the teachers, while the man at the far right is the principal.
Black and white image of a large group of children of various ages, from young elementary aged children to older teens, with a few adult chaperones. Most of the girls and women wear white, if nothing else white tops, and the boys almost all have white shirts. Note, too, that most of the women do not have hats, though they could have been removed for the photograph.
Black and white image of a team pulling a wagon loaded with large wooden boxes down a dirt street. Notice the street lights hanging over the street, and the power poles lining it. In addition, a windmill stands above one of the buildings. Most of the visible buildings are two-story. A bicycle rests against the porch post of the building in the foreground.
Sepia-toned image of a group of boys holding a baseball bat up, as if they'd been trying to decide who got to go first by alternating placing their hands around the bat. Note the one boy still in short pants, while at least two girls watch from the sidelines.
Sepia-toned image mounted on heavy mat of several girls in skirts, holding ribbons that are being wrapped around a Maypole. Note the boys watching in the background.
Sepia-toned image of a man sitting in a wagon drawn by a matched team of horses. Note the elaborate harness with metal studs, including the decorative pieces added to the bridles.
Sepia-toned image of two men sheering a sheep with a motorized shearing device. One man, identified as 'Dad' on the back, is likely Joseph McCormick. The other is identified as Harvey Haynes. The man standing on the platform has one hand on the crank that powers the shearing machine. The fleece is taken off in one piece.
Sepia-toned image of a Christmas tree with tinsel, various ornaments, and dolls at the base. The basic ornaments are very similar to ones that can be found today, though perhaps not the feathered fan hanging upside down on the image-left side of the tree. Note the flocked wallpaper with its vegetation design, and the elaborate rug on the floor; the rug's designs indicate that it is most likely a Turkomen rug, from Central Asia, rather than an 'Oriental' rug from China.
Sepia-toned image of a cross- farmhouse, with trees in bloom in the yard. Two couples are in the yard, one standing and one seated on the porch; the woman seated on the porch holds a baby in her arms. Photo was in a lot accessioned as McCormick family photos, though no other identification is available on the people in the photo.
Sepia-toned of a man kneeling in a field, inspecting potatoes. Note the horse-drawn plow; it would be another ten years after this image was produced before gasoline-powered plows became the norm, and this only after Henry Ford introduced a mass-produced tractor in 1917.
Sepia-toned image of a small girl in a white dress, standing next to a doll seated on a chair. The doll is almost as large as she is and wears a similar dress. Note the bracelet the little girl wears and the long white stockings.
Black and white image of a group of soldiers in World War I uniforms running a recruiting station in front of the Liberty Theater. At a table with a sign stating 'Your Country Needs You!' one soldier supervises a man in a hat and suit coat filling out paperwork. The other six soldiers stand at attention in front of the various signs advertising the currently playing movie, which appears to be the 1916 film 'Fighting Blood,' starring William Farnum, produced by Fox Hollywood Studios. A sign in the background advertises a 'Special Program Tonight... 15.' The image labeled back c is actually WCMpic_011822, a duplicate of WCMpic_001729 that provides more information about the image.
Black and white reprint of the Aloha theater, with two men standing in front of it. Though the sign advertises a show every evening at 8:30, the lack of movie posters and the style of the photographs on display suggests some kind of live theater rather than a movie theater at this point.
Black and white photograph of a gas station. This style of gas station with a small house and a covered porch area happened as gas stations became more common and moved into residential areas and wanted to match the local architecture. Note the hose on the pump; this was a relatively new development in the last half of the decade, along with a meter for measuring the fuel as it was pumped into the car.
Black and white photograph of a man standing next to a camping van in the snow. Documentation on the photograph indicates that the camper belonged to Ella Reynolds.
Sepia-toned image a large barn-style building. Advertising decorates both of the large barn doors, and a large pile of wood can be seen stacked next to the outer wall inside a covered porch area.
Black and white print of the Walker family standing outside a cross-gabled, two -story home. Note the rain barrel by the eaves of the back porch, and the hammock hanging between posts on the front porch.
Sepia-toned image of a dirt street in Beaverton. Railroad cars are visible in the distance, and a boardwalk runs along either side of the street. Though hitching posts are still available, only automobiles appear to be using the street.

Sepia-toned image of a man and a woman wetly clinging to the rocks beside a rushing river. Bonneville Dam and the resulting Lake Bonneville submerged this location in 1937. Beaverton, Oregon, was home to at least one movie company in the 1920s, Premium Picture Productions also known as J. J. Fleming Productions.
