A man sits on a horse on Main Street in Banks, Oregon circa 1910-1914. He is dressed like a cowboy, wearing sheepskin chaps, overalls, and a hat, with ropes coiled in front of him on the saddle.

Main Street is an unpaved dirt road, with wood plank sidewalks. A horse-drawn buggy is in the background behind the cowboy, while a boy holding a bicycle and a car with a cloth top stand on the right.

Photo of a town. Streets appear to be muddy and wet, and a path runs along a post and pole fence down from the foreground of the image into the town. A boardwalk runs partially along one side of the street in the foreground. A number of houses and buildings are visible, several with smoke coming from their chimneys. All appear to be wooden construction. Bare-branched and evergreen trees are scattered throughout the buildings. A number of buildings are numbered in white, identified by the legend on the back of the photo. Number one is a church, with a steep gabled roof and a steeple. Number two is a two-story building, white, with a single-story extension and a covered porch area extending from the first floor and a small dormer window on the far end of the roof. Scaffolding has been attached to the end of the building. Number three is a two-story gabled building, long, with a square store front with three double-hung windows above an awning-style roofline that runs above the first story of the building. This extends to a salt-box like roof on the back of the building. Number four is a long, single-story building, with a square front and a covered porch. Number five is a dark colored, gabled building with two visible stories. It is surrounded by a plank fence, and appears to have two entrances, one on the narrower front facing the road and one on the side of the building. Two double-hung windows appear on the second floor, and the door on the side is bracketed by a second pair of windows. Smoke is visible from the chimney towards the front of the building.

Photographic postcard designated "No. 9," showing buildings along "Railroad Street" in Tualatin, Oregon. This was not the name of the street, but just a description of what appears in the image. The view is facing north, and may have been taken somewhere near the modern intersection of Boones Ferry Road and SW Tualatin Road.
This image was probably made circa 1908-1920. According to handwritten notes on the back of the image, one of the buildings on the right is the back of I. N. Robinson's store; behind it are Ed Robinson's restaurant and store. The railroad tracks on the left are part of the Oregon Electric Railway, which was active between 1908-1933. In the far background, a raised bridge shows the crossing of the Southern Pacific railroad line. Electrical and telephone lines run overhead. Several boys and men, some holding bicycles, stand in the middle ground of the image. Two of them are identified on the back of the postcard as Reginald [P---ly?] & Glenn Jurgens. Handwritten notes on the back of the postcard provide additional details.
