A house on a ridge overlooking a portion of the Tualatin River watershed in Washington County. This image was found with a group of material relating to the creation of Hagg Lake. Scoggins Valley was flooded and dammed into Hagg Lake in 1975. This slide is a part of the Scoggins Valley Dam Collection (RG.5.12).

Employees and family standing outside Irwin L. Smith's cabinet shop in Forest Grove, a large wooden structure. The employees are shown with examples of their products, doors and cabinetry. The family, children and a baby, are seen further in the back. A water tower and horse-drawn wagon are also included in the photo. This photograph was probably created in the 1880s or early 1890s; it resembles others taken locally in the early 1880s by the I. G. Davidson Studio, and may be their work.
The home of Levi Walker in Forest Grove, Oregon as it appeared in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Several people, presumably Walker Family members, are standing in the middle-ground of the image on the right; Levi Walker is probably the man sitting on the porch. The others pictured here may include his wife, Belle and their daughters, Elda and Leva. A note on a related copy of this photograph (FGLpic_00073) notes that the house stood on what is now 23rd Avenue between A and B Streets in Forest Grove.
Levi Walker was the son of Elkanah and Mary Richardson Walker, who came to the Pacific Northwest as missionaries in the 1830s. From the 1880s-1890s, Levi and his wife Belle taught at several government boarding schools for Native American children, including the Forest Grove Indian School, the Siletz Indian School, and Chemawa Indian School. This photograph may date from the 1880s, when their daughters were infants.
Two unidentified young boys play in front of a house. Each has a dog with them. Photo originally found with Walker Family material so there is likely a connection.
Sepia-toned image of a cross-gabled, Queen Anne-style house with two outbuildings and a large barn. The house has two dormer windows, one of which extends into a balcony over a large front window. A porch wraps around the front of the house. A decorative fence runs along the front edge of the yard, next to a fenced lane leading back to the barn and outbuildings. Several cows stand in the lane, and a small cart with two milk cans on it stands in front of the fence.
Sepia-toned image of a three-story European Manor home that appears to be in a rural combination of Romanesque and Beaux Arts architecture. The mansard roof features a guardrail along the roofline, and three dormers with rounded tops lie along the steeply sloped roof. Shutters grace most of the windows, and a small shed takes up the foreground of the image in front of the house. A man in a uniform with shoulder boards and a campaign hat stands in front of the shed, while men can be seen standing inside the smaller building and inside the open window at the left end of the house. The sign on the shed itself cannot be made out. Mary Morrissey Wunderlich, born in Washington County in the late 1880s, served in Europe as a nurse during World War I and is credited with taking this image. See WCMpic_015286 for what appears to be a front view of this house, and WCMpic_015288 and WCmpic_015299 for other images credited to Mary Morrissey Wunderlich.
Sepia-toned image of a three-story European Manor home that appears to be in a rural combination of Romanesque and Beaux Arts architecture. The mansard roof features a guardrail along the roofline, and a large statue is elevated from the arched, carved pediment of the central section. Two dormers with rounded tops sit at either side of the main section. Shutters grace most of the windows, and a balcony dominates the second floor of the central section of the house. Two men can be seen standing in one open door; the yard is packed dirt and appears to have a regular driving route across it. A crude flagpole has been erected in the middle of the yard in front of the house, made up of a straight, tall log with all the limbs chopped off. Mary Morrissey Wunderlich, born in Washington County in the late 1880s, served in Europe as a nurse during World War I and is credited with taking this image. See WCMpic_015289 for what appears to be a rear view of this house, and WCMpic_015288 and WCmpic_015299 for other images credited to Mary Morrissey Wunderlich.
Photograph of the windows of a barbershop in Hillsboro, which has several newspaper clippings taped to it. The clippings show the 1966 Hillsboro High School football team, which played South Salem for the State Championships that year. Hillsboro won the championship 17-2.
