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.
A road and bridge construction crew near Forest Grove, Oregon probably circa 1910-1914. This may have been in the vicinity of Gales Creek or Hillside. The men in the foreground are leading two teams of four horses, who are pulling a plow-like device, probably to dig out the road surface. More men are working on the bridges in the background. The old deteriorated bridge on the right is being replaced by the newer bridge on the left. A pile driver can be seen in the distance, along with a house, barns, fields and forest. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. For another view of the same bridge construction, see image PUA_MS154_012b.
Road construction by men with horses near Forest Grove, Oregon probably circa 1910-1914. This may have been in the vicinity of Gales Creek or Hillside. Several men are driving teams of horses that are pulling road-grading equipment, which are digging out and leveling the ground on a hill to make a road. Several boys watch from the side, and a thick forest of fir trees appears in the background. The damage to this photograph is due to the emulsion layer on the negative deteriorating and cracking off. For several other images by the same photographer that appear to depict the same road construction event, see PUA_MS154_024 and PUA_MS154_012b.
An aerial view of Garden Home, Oregon, in 1954. The photograph is facing east, and shows Oleson Road running horizontally and Garden Home Road running vertically. Garden Home School is the large, light building in the foreground with the old original school building still attached in what is now the south parking lot. The Garden Home Feed and Seed building, east of the intersection, has no roof structure. The Community Church is east of the feed store, where 71st Avenue is now. The two-story store at the intersection, variously named Upchurch, Throckmortons or the "White Store," burned in 1956. A nut orchard lies northeast of the intersection where a Thriftway grocery store would be built in 1957. This photograph was shot with a Rolleiflex camera by local resident Otto Arndt on May 4, 1954. Arndt took numerous aerial photographs of the Garden Home area on flights he chartered out of the Bernard Airport in Beaverton, all of them flown by pilot Walt Rupert. This image was digitized from a 2 1/4" negative.
This photo is most likely taken from a tower. It is a view of land, railroads, roads, and buildings in Cornelius, Oregon. Numerous wooden buildings, both homes and businesses, line the dirt roads of Cornelius. 'Hotel Oregon' is written in large letters on one of the structures. Piles of lumber lie in the dirt near the railroad tracks. Wooden electrical poles line the main dirt road.
