Photographic postcard designated "No. 8," showing houses along "Residence Street" in Tualatin, Oregon. This was not the name of the street, but just a description of what appears in the image. This was taken facing south, probably near the modern intersection of Boones Ferry Road and SW Tualatin Road.
As of the time when this photograph was made (circa 1908-1920), the home towards the background with a small black mark drawn on it and smoke rising from the chimney belonged to the I. N. Robinson Family. The small white, single story building with a small cross drawn on it was a bakery. In the foreground of the picture, there is a railroad track, most likely on the Oregon Electric Railroad line, which was active between 1908-1933. Electrical and telephone lines run overhead. Four boys holding bicycles sit on the railroad embankment. Handwritten text on the back describes some of the landmarks in the photograph.

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.
