Ariss Blacksmith Shop

Title

Ariss Blacksmith Shop

Description

The Ariss Blacksmith Shop in Tigard, Oregon, circa 1912. The image shows a small, two-story building with a single garage door, which stands open in a square front facade. Three men, two in work clothes and one in a suit, stand in the doorway. A single window opens above the garage door, and a sign hangs perpendicular to the building, which reads: 'W. H. Ariss. General Blacksmithing.' On the wall below the window hangs a second sign advertising 'Winona Wagons'. Wooden fencing surrounds a yard to the building's right, with various wagon wheels and other equipment just visible through and above it, and brush fills a vacant lot to the building's left.
