Construction of a bridge near Forest Grove, Oregon probably circa 1910-1914. This may have been in the vicinity of Gales Creek or Hillside. The old deteriorated bridge on the right is being replaced by the newer bridge on the left. A pile driver with a ladder can be seen in the background. A man with a team of horses stands on the new bridge, while another team pulls on load on the old one. A dirt road and a forest stand behind the bridges. 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 that probably portrays the same pile driver seen here; see image PUA_MS154_012a. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. For another view of the same bridges, see image PUA_MS154_024.

Sepia-toned image of a long wooden bridge with two men standing on either side of it. This bridge crossed over the Tualatin River, and was three-quarters of a mile long.
A dirt road leads to a bridge across a body of water. A rail fence runs beside the road and across the bridge. Bare branches of trees poke up alongside the road, and on the opposite side trees, buildings and mountains are visible. Power poles appear to be protruding from the water, which is still and reflecting the trees and foliage along the banks.
