Residential Street in Forest Grove

Title

Residential Street in Forest Grove

Description

Picture is of a row of houses on a residential street. The first house is located on the southwest corner of 17th Avenue and Ash Street with the photograph looking west on 17th Avenue. This first residence was known as the Thronberg House for John A. Thornberg who was president of Forest Grove National Bank. This house and the third house were constructed in the Craftsman style. The third and fourth houses look to be older. The sidewalk appears to be concrete and there is a concrete curb but the street is packed dirt. There is a fire hydrant close to the corner.
