Main Street, Banks, Oregon

Description

Colorized photo card print of Banks, Oregon. Photo shows a packed dirt road and a clear sky. On the right of the image is a vacant lot and a single pole with a power line running to and from it. Across a dirt street, a series of two-story wooden buildings with tall, square fronts and small windows. People stand on the covered porch of the first building. On the left of the image, another building with a pitched roof and square front has '[?] Mercantile' lettered over a covered porch, where a man leans against the railing. On the street in front of him waits a wagon with a two horse hitch. Visible just beyond the building and before the next is a power pole with a single cross-bar and glass power line insulators. Boardwalks link the buildings, with steps leading up to the porches. Visible in the background is a low hill and a number of leafy trees, pine and deciduous.

Dear Grandma. We are well and hop you are all the same. Do you know what Uncle Ch's address is I want to send him a postal good bye. Otis A. Mrs. Melissa Jackson, Hillsboro, Oregon, Rout 4
