A wintry scene showing a barn, fences and a lean-to in a snow-covered field, with trees in the distance. The edge of a house (possibly the same house that appears in image PUA_MS154_002) appears in the background, mostly obscured by trees. This property may be associated with the Clapshaw Family who lived in the Hillside neighborhood northwest of Forest Grove, Oregon. The photograph was taken by William Alonso Clapshaw, probably circa 1910-1914. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A portrait of a family posed outside a modest home near Forest Grove, Oregon; possibly in or near Hillside, Gales Creek or Banks. They may be friends or neighbors of the photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw. The parents wear work clothes, with the mother in a practical striped dress and the father wearing work pants, boots, an old shirt and suspenders. The children are seated bareback on two horses, with the son in short pants and bare feet, and the daughter in a dress with tights and shoes. A dog, possibly a border collie mix, lies behind them. Their one-and-a-half story house is rustic in appearance with unpainted wood siding and plain trim. What appear to be two old tractor seats flank the door. A low hill rises behind the house. Several outbuildings, including possibly an outhouse, appear in the background. Clapshaw made the photograph by exposing half of the glass plate negative; he never exposed the other half, resulting in a blank section above this image. Flaws in the photograph are due to deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
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.
Three people, probably a mother, father and daughter, sit on the porch of a small farmhouse in Oregon. A hammock and rocking chair are on the porch behind them, and clothes can be seen on a clothesline in the background. This photograph was probably taken around 1910-1914 near Forest Grove, Oregon; possibly near the Hillside or Banks neighborhoods. 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; see image PUA_MS154_011a. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A large, two-and-a-half story house in the countryside near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. It appears to have been relatively new when the photograph was taken. It displays some Craftsman-style elements including wide porches, tapered wood columns and dormers. It is standing in front of an older, smaller house. The yard by the house has been mown recently, with loose stacks of hay on the ground. Several outbuildings and trees appear in the background. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. For another, albeit damaged, view of the same house, see image PUA_MS154_058.
A man, a woman and a boy stand in front of a farmhouse near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. The child, perhaps around 5 years old, is wearing a sailor-style outfit and holding what may be a baseball bat. The woman appears to be older (possibly the grandmother of the boy), and is wearing a nice but somewhat outdated dress. The man is wearing overalls and a straw hat. Their two-story house has a screen door on the second floor that leads directly onto the porch roof. Fruit trees and an outbuilding are in the background on the left. 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 barn that may have been on the same property; see image PUA_MS154_027b. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
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.
A small house, probably in the forested hills of the Coast Range northwest of Forest Grove, Oregon; possibly near Hillside, Gales Creek or Hayward. The house is a very modest structure, probably consisting of just one or two rooms, with a pyramidal hip roof. A man, a boy and a horse stand on the left. A shed or small barn stands behind the house, and another small but tall-roofed outbuilding sits to the left. The latter structure might be a smokehouse. The land around the house has been cleared of trees recently, with many stumps and ferns still present in the foreground. An old wood plank sidewalk is also visible. The forested hill in the background looks like it may have been burned, with dead snags left standing. All of the structures including the fences appear to have been built recently before the photograph was taken. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
Three women stand on the porch of a well-kept house in the countryside in the vicinity of Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914; possibly near Hillside, Banks or Gales Creek. The two younger women who appear to be in their teens are dressed identically in loose shirts with wide collars; they may be sisters. The older woman may be their grandmother. The house is of fine quality for a farmhouse of this period, with several elements of Craftsman style including the porch, dormers on the second floor, exposed rafters, tapered pillars, and a front door with a window and exterior sill. A line of rose bushes stands in front of the house, along with cement stairs and a gated fence. A windmill, possibly sitting on top of a small water tower, is in the background. An outbuilding is behind the house on the left.
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.
A farmhouse in the countryside near Forest Grove, Oregon, circa 1910-1914; possibly around Hillside or the town of Banks. An older couple are on the porch, with the man sitting in a rocking chair and holding a cat. The house is relatively small with a pyramidal hip roof, a single dormer window, a small addition (probably a kitchen) on the back, and several sheds or outbuildings in the rear. A low-lying, leafy vegetable crop (possibly rhubarb?) is growing directly next to their house. Flaws in the image are due to deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
Two farmers wearing overalls and straw hats sit on a pair of plows, each of which is drawn by a team of two horses. A young horse (or possibly a mule?) stands near one of the horse teams. This photograph was taken in the vicinity of Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914, possibly in the Hillside or Hayward communities northwest of town. A field stands behind them, with a partially cleared forest and several houses on the hill in the background. This photograph appears to have been overexposed, and also has some damage due to deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A wagon loaded with what looks like hay is hitched to two horses. Two people are on top of the hay. A late 1920’s car can be seen on the right, behind the wagon.
