Small Brook in Forest Grove

Title

Small Brook in Forest Grove

Description

A small body of water surrounded by trees on both sides, titled on the image, "Little Brook in City Park, Forest Grove." The brook might be Gales Creek during a period of low water. The location of the "City Park" is unclear, but may have been near the former Park Street, which has since then been renamed and forms the south end of D Street. There was a park near that location, which was usually called Naylor's Grove. This photograph was published as a postcard, and the backs of two copies are scanned here: one is postmarked 1913, and the other postmarked 1938.
