Timber, Oregon

Title

Timber, Oregon

Description

Sepia-toned image of a street with buildings on one side and a railroad on the other, with logged and burned timber on the hillside behind it. At least one three-story building stands at the end of the block, with two other two-story buildings with square front facades. A tent is set up between two of the buildings, and a small booth on the other side of another. Railroad cards sit on the track, and pieces of another building in construction sits directly beside the track.
