Black and white image of a family standing on the porch of a general store. The ad for 'White River Flour' dominates the pediment above the porch, with 'Again at your grocers' written above it. A door that appears to lead into living quarters is on the image right, and a good number of boxes and bales are piled about, as if they had just arrived with their belongings. One window displays stacked cans of foodstuffs while the other has a display of hats.
Charles F. Tigard, his wife Rosa, and daughter Grace stand at the entrance to the Tigardville General Store & Post Office. A dog lies at their feet. To their right, a man sits on a stack of boxes in front of a large window. To the left of the Tigard family, two men sit on a wood bench in front of a large window. To the left of the window is a sign reading "Tigardville Post Office--Portland 10 1/2 m." To the left of the store is a large tree that stands in front of Charles Tigard's home. The Tigardville Post Office was established in 1886. Charles F. Tigard owned and operated both the post office and the store, formerly located on the northeast corner of what is now SW McDonald Street and Pacific Highway.
A one-story wooden building has the store's name and Monopole painted on the facade. Men are standing on the wooden sidewalk and a horse-drawn wagon is at the left. Monopole was a well-known brand of canned goods. Mason Cady is at the right.
