This two story house is located at 1817 Ash Street and is known as the Lawrence Pratt House. The house has a gable on the right side of the front with a roof sloping down to the front porch. It looks like the porch has been enclosed except for the entry way. An interesting feature is the wall treatment under the front gable on the ground floor. The front corner walls are angled at what looks like a 45 degree angle to form a bay window of sorts. This creates a rectangular overhang of the second story above the angled walls. There is a gable on the left side of the house.
A wagon loaded with bales of hay and hitched to a two-horse team is standing in the street in town with storefronts behind the horses and wagon.

This gristmill was located on the Tualatin River in the Dilley area, just off Anderson Road south of Forest Grove. Horace Parsons with the help of A.T. Smith chose the location of the mill at a crossing of the Tualatin River later called the Jason Lee Ford. The mill started producing flour in the spring of 1850. The mill used an undershot water wheel to power the mill to make flour. The river water ran under the wheel rather than over the top. In this photograph, the mill was already in poor condition. The side facing the camera has no walls and part of the roof is collapsed onto the third story floor. Brush and trees are growing up around the three sides with tall grass in front.
A car parked on the side of a road. The car looks to be an early to mid 1920s soft top, open car (phaeton).

Two single globe street lights are visible in the picture. A treed hillside is in the background.
