A farmhouse and barn in Hayward, Oregon circa 1910-1914. As of the 2020s, the house is still standing at the address 53363 NW Hayward Road, Banks, Oregon. In this image, a sign for "Hayward Farm" is displayed prominently on the barn. A windmill, fences, various outbuildings, and a large field appear around the house, while a tall, thick forest of Douglas Fir lies in the background. Hayward is a small community in the Coast Range about 6 miles WNW of Banks, Oregon. This photograph was taken by amateur photographer William Alonso Clapshaw, possibly from a vantage point in Hayward Cemetery. Clapshaw exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The other half of the glass plate was used to make a portrait of a child; see image PUA_MS154_007b. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A steam tractor engine (left) powers a belt that drives a threshing machine (right, behind hay wagon). This photograph was taken circa 1910-1914 north of Forest Grove, Oregon, possibly at or near the property now found at 42440 Purdin Road. The ridgeline in the background of the photograph closely matches the modern view looking southwest from that location.
The men standing on the wagon are loading harvested grain - perhaps oats or wheat - into the thresher, which is separating the grain from the chaff. The grain is coming out of a chute that descends from the lower right side of the thresher. The chaff, or straw, is shooting out of the thresher into the barn on the right. A field with many tree stumps and wildflowers appears in the foreground. The Coast Range, farms and groves of oak stand in the background. For a similar image by the same photographer, see Image PUA_MS154_026.
A large barn with a man standing on a ramp in one of its doors, seen from a vantage point below it on a hill. A field and several other outbuildings are also visible. This photograph was probably taken near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. The photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw, exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The other half of the glass plate was used to make another photograph of a house that may have been on the same property; see image PUA_MS154_027a. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
Men on a farm near Forest Grove, Oregon, fill a silo attached to a barn. The man in the bowler hat (right) is tending an engine that is driving a belt. The belt turns a wheel which is attached to a silo-filling machine (center, with tall white pipe extending vertically). The man by the silo-filling machine is feeding hay into its hopper, which the machine chops and then blows through the pipe into the silo. A third man, standing on the wagon drawn by two horses, is delivering the hay -- possibly alfalfa. This was likely to be used as livestock feed. A farm dog stands on the right, and one more man stands almost behind the silo, facing away from the camera. A pulley system is attached to the side of the barn. This photograph was probably taken in the Hillside, Gales Creek or Banks neighborhoods between 1910-1914.
Sepia-toned image of people gathered for a barn raising. The barn is framed, but not roofed or sided. A number of men sit along the top of the front cross-beam, while the rest of the group is gathered along the bottom of the framing on the floor of the barn. Several children, mostly girls, stand with the men, and a group of women is seated on a board in front of the floor. Museum records identify the location as 'near Firdale Gr. School.' Firdale school was in the hills north of Cornelius, Oregon.
Color photograph of an older, two-story barn. It appears to be in disuse and has only small windows in the upper floor of the front facade and then to the side. Two large, bare-branched oak trees stand to the side, and two boats, one old and splintered and one fiberglass and turned upside down on a trailer, stand between the barn and the trees.
