Photographic postcard designated "No. 8," showing houses along "Residence Street" in Tualatin, Oregon. This was not the name of the street, but just a description of what appears in the image. This was taken facing south, probably near the modern intersection of Boones Ferry Road and SW Tualatin Road.
As of the time when this photograph was made (circa 1908-1920), the home towards the background with a small black mark drawn on it and smoke rising from the chimney belonged to the I. N. Robinson Family. The small white, single story building with a small cross drawn on it was a bakery. In the foreground of the picture, there is a railroad track, most likely on the Oregon Electric Railroad line, which was active between 1908-1933. Electrical and telephone lines run overhead. Four boys holding bicycles sit on the railroad embankment. Handwritten text on the back describes some of the landmarks in the photograph.

Black and white image of a young girl in a short skirt standing at the top of the porch stairs. A puppy stands next to her, and she appears to be cuddling either another small animal or a toy. Her hair is pulled back and tied with a large bow, and she wears a short dropped waist dress with black stockings and boots. The porch railing behind her blocks any real view of the landscape beyond. The image was donated by Thomas Clapshaw, though no identifying information about the young girl has been found.
A bandstand in a field with girls standing in front of it. An octagonal bandstand occupies the back of the image, and several people stand inside it. The man visible wears a dark suit, several others appear to be women in white, long-sleeved outfits with dark vests and white boater style hats, and a number hold white poles with decorative heads erect. The bandstand is two stories in height, and the lower portions are wooden plank construction with darker support planks nailed around each panel and over each in an 'x' shape. The roof is octagonal and extends up to a point. Plain bunting cover the railings around the gazebo floor and also hangs from the eaves, and the support poles are wrapped in the same material. Several girls are lined up before the grandstand; on the right are four girls wearing white or light-colored dresses; their hair is long and one girl wears a bow on top of her head. The first girl's jacket has a sailor collar, and a white, high-necked collar. The third girl in the row wears a white dress with ruffles about the shoulders and neck and elbow-length sleeves with ruffles at the end. Across from them on the left of the image, and older girl stands. Her hair is up and she wears a loose, white, long-sleeved shirt and a long white skirt. A sash of darker material crosses over her bodice up to her left shoulder. Behind the bandstand a shed, a fence, and a row of short trees is visible.
A group of children, four girls and eight boys, stand on the steps to a wooden building. The children on the lower steps are younger than those toward the top. The boys wear overalls and long-sleeved shirts, buttoned to the neck. A small girl with a light colored dress and a large white ribbon in her hair holds a chalkboard with the school's name and date written on it. The three older girls at the top of the image wear pinafores over long-sleeved dresses. One is dark, and the dress dark with light stripes. Their hair is either short, or pulled back into pony tails and tied with large bows. The boys all have short hair. The door into the building is open, and a window with a half-cafe curtain is visible to the right of the image. Oval printed on white paper.
A group of school children, boys and girls, posing for a class photo in front of the doors to their school building. There is no identifying information as to where this school is located, although the address for the photographer is east side Portland.
A girl not two years old is sitting in an ornate wicker chair for her portrait. She is wearing a full length gown and shoes. She also has a ring on her left ring finger.
