This two story house is located at 1817 Ash Street and is known as the Lawrence Pratt House. The house has a gable on the right side of the front with a roof sloping down to the front porch. It looks like the porch has been enclosed except for the entry way. An interesting feature is the wall treatment under the front gable on the ground floor. The front corner walls are angled at what looks like a 45 degree angle to form a bay window of sorts. This creates a rectangular overhang of the second story above the angled walls. There is a gable on the left side of the house.
A wagon loaded with bales of hay and hitched to a two-horse team is standing in the street in town with storefronts behind the horses and wagon.

Picture looks to be at the end of a lake or a small body of standing water. The area around the lake to the shoreline has been cut of standing trees. On the right hand side of the body of water is a logging camp. There are two rows of buildings that look to be the kind that are transported by rail.

This gristmill was located on the Tualatin River in the Dilley area, just off Anderson Road south of Forest Grove. Horace Parsons with the help of A.T. Smith chose the location of the mill at a crossing of the Tualatin River later called the Jason Lee Ford. The mill started producing flour in the spring of 1850. The mill used an undershot water wheel to power the mill to make flour. The river water ran under the wheel rather than over the top. In this photograph, the mill was already in poor condition. The side facing the camera has no walls and part of the roof is collapsed onto the third story floor. Brush and trees are growing up around the three sides with tall grass in front.
A car parked on the side of a road. The car looks to be an early to mid 1920s soft top, open car (phaeton). The road appears to be packed dirt and the picture is of a sweeping curve on an incline with guard posts lining the edge of the road on the right. Two single globe street lights are visible in the picture. A treed hillside is in the background.
Three 4-horse teams each transporting a single large metal tube (pipe). The team of horses is hitched to a two-wheel, single axle. This would be like the typical front wheel section of a horse drawn wagon. A draw bar from this set of wheels connects a rear set of wheels to suspend and transport the large pipe. The drive sits on top of the leading edge of the pipe to guide the horses.
Five flatbed railcars each loaded with large logs sitting by themselves. The scene is in a hilly, wooded area. There looks to be three sets of parallel tracks at this point with the right track having a switch. The closest railcar looks to have NORTHERN on its side.
A large steam donkey mounted on a flatbed railcar with the trucks removed. The engine is at the back with multiple reels of cable throughout the remainder of the railcar. A man is standing by one of the larger reels toward the back and appears to be looking toward the front of the railcar. The donkey is snugged up to a stout tree that has been rigged into a spar tree and derrick. Behind the donkey is a hill littered with logs. Oregon American Lumber Co. is on the side of the railcar
A two story house that was located on the north side of 16th Avenue between Birch Street and Cedar Street. The house has a gable on the left side of the front with a roof on the right side sloping down to the front porch. The porch does not extend to the end of the house as there is a windowed wall on the right of the porch. An interesting feature is the wall treatment under the front gable on the ground floor. The front corner walls are angled at what looks like a 45 degree angle to form a bay window of sorts. This creates a rectangular overhang of the second story above the angled walls. There is a gable on the right side of the house. The house has fine gingerbread detail and ornate spindles. The Gable is shingled with the same ornate pattern as the porch roof. A bicycle is on the porch and the screen door is open and against the wall. A spindle picket fence is in front of the house with an ornate spindle gate and boxed posts. The street is packed dirt and is lower than the property by six to eight inches. There is on curb or sidewalk.

This woman and the girl are each wearing a flower pinned on their dresses. The other woman is wearing a blouse and ankle length skirt. The man has a beard and is wearing a tie and suit. The house has a gable front and does not have a full second story. There is a second story door in the middle of the gable that leads to an open area above the porch that is enclosed with a short railing. The covered porch extends across the entire front of the house. The front yard is tall grass with some flowers and plants along the board walkway to the front porch. A wire fence runs across the front of the yard.
