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 The woman appears to be older (possibly the grandmother of the boy), and is wearing a nice but somewhat outdated dress.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.

The house of Alvin T. Smith at the south end of what is now Elm Street in Forest Grove, Oregon. This photograph shows the front, or eastern side, of the house as it appeared circa 1890-1910. This photograph was likely taken by or on behalf of one of the members of the Manley Shipley Family, who lived on the property around that time.
The house was built by Alvin T. or "A.T." Smith between 1854-1856 on his donation land claim, which he first occupied in 1841. He earlier had several log cabins on the property; possibly including the cabin structures visible on the left side of this image. Smith was a former missionary, a minister, and a carpenter by trade. He lived in this home with his first wife, Abigail; and later with his second wife, Jane. The house remained in the Smith Family until around 1920, though it was rented out to several families. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1974, but was abandoned around 1990. Since 2005, it was been owned by the Friends of Historic Forest Grove, who have done extensive stabilization and restoration work.
This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album. Some members of the Shipley Family lived near this house in the early 1900s.
A cyanotype photograph of sheep in a field. The house at 1504 Elm Street in Forest Grove, OR, stands in the background. This photograph was likely taken between 1894-1896, when E.W. Haines owned the house.
The house was built in 1893 by Charles Keep. According to the Friends of Historic Forest Grove, this house was likely built by Keep as a symbol for the new "South Park" district, which had been just been added to the town in 1891. This house was sold soon after construction to Frank Davey, who sold it in 1894 to the local banker, E. W. Haines, who lived there for less than two years. Numerous other early residents stayed for short periods of time including Lavina Watt, the Agnete Staehr family, and others.
This house is locally known as the "Barnes House," the "Marble House," or the "South Park House." The reason for its association with the famous bow-maker Frank Barnes is unknown, however. Barnes lived in a home on what is now 19th Avenue, and he does not appear in any city directories, censuses or in the line of title connected with this house. The name "Marble House" was bestowed by the Marble Family, who owned it from 1965-1999. The house is now called the "South Park House," after its location in the South Park Addition.
This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album. For a related cyanotype photograph showing what appears to be the sidewalk in front of the house, see Pacific University Archives photograph PUA_MS149_002.
A photograph of the fence and bottom portion of the Smith-Buxton-Caples House. This house, which is also known locally as the I.L. Smith House, is located at 1938 16th Ave, Forest Grove, OR. The image in this photograph is reversed left-to-right, possible due to a misprint of the negative. See related photograph PUA_MS149_050 for another view.
According to the Oregon Historic Sites cultural resource inventory of this house: "This house is said to have been built by Irwin Smith around 1876. Smith was a partner with Mr. Buxton who later lived in the house with his family c. 1900. Buxton's daughter, Rena Buxton, married a Mr. Caples and continued to live in the house. Hence the local name 'Buxton/Caples House.' This structure is a simple example of the Italianate style of architecture which was popular in the United States c. 1840-1885."

This image shows the building which had been used as a dormitory at the Forest Grove Indian School from 1880-1885 as it appeared in 1894, after the Indian School had moved away to Salem. By the time of this photograph in 1894, the building had been converted to housing for male students at Pacific University. As an historian of the university written a decade later recounted, 'One of the main buildings erected for the [Indian] school burned a short time before the removal [to Salem; this is referring to the Indian girls' dormitory, which burned down around 1885], and the other has been fitted up for a boys' dormitory and boarding house [for Pacific University students]. Here some of the young men have clubbed together, and thus boarded themselves for from a dollar and a quarter to a dollar and a half a week.' The historian cross-referenced this image from the Pacific University 1894 yearbook, 'The Heart of Oak,' where this image was first published. See: Eells, Myron, ed. 'A History of Tualatin Academy and Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon, 1848-1902.' Typescript. (1904) p. 83-84. Pacific University Archives.
A late 1920s photograph of 2138 17th Avenue, Forest Grove, which stands in the Clark National Historic District. Streets in town were renamed and renumbered in 1949; its original address would have been 130 S. 3rd Ave E.
In the survey that established the Clark historic district, this structure was described as follows: 'The Goff House at 2138 17th Avenue stands on [land] once owned by the Thomas Roe family. Thomas Roe and his wife, Mary Ann, bought this property in the early 1870s. [...] In 1907, a year before Thomas Roe's death, one of the Roe daughters, Anna Roe Goff, bought this corner parcel from the larger Roe homestead property. The Goff House was probably built around 1908. The Goff brothers (H.J. and W.W. Goff) operated a hardware and implement store in Forest Grove for many years in the 1910s and 1920s' (Survey for the Clark National Historic District, Forest Grove, 2002).
Fannie Goff -- probably one of the Goff Family children -- was in the Pacific University class of 1931. This photograph appears in an album that was compiled by Edith, a 1930 Pacific University graduate.
A late 1920s photograph of a female Pacific University student on a residential street. The house in the background appears to be the Hoffman/Ballard House at 1617 Birch Street in the Clark National District, Forest Grove. According to the survey for the historic district, the Hoffman/Ballard House was constructed around 1900. Nettie Hoffman, a commercial photographer in Forest Grove, owned the house until 1903. Jessie Ballard was the next owner, from 1903-1907. Between 1907 and 1928, the home was owned by Mary E. Ralston Deeks, a widow who married James E. Deeks in 1916. This photograph appears in an album that was compiled by Edith Hansen McGill, a 1930 Pacific University graduate.
