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.
Sepia-toned image of a railroad station. Two children, a boy and a girl, stand on the tracks, while another child is visible in the doorway of the station. Three other people stand at the end of the station, beside a Model-T type car. A sign reading 'Buxton' hangs on the end of the building.
Sepia-toned image mounted on cardboard of a homestead, just visible at the base of a hill, with a large number of burned trees visible in the foreground and the background. This photo was taken after the Tillamook Burn, though it is uncertain which particular fire this image represents. Many of the smaller property owners whose lands were burned in the fires eventually let their lands revert back to the counties rather than pay taxes on 'useless' burned land.
Sepia-toned image mounted on heavy mat of a group of men, all holding a fresh-drawn draft beer, gathered around the bar in a saloon. Note the dog, the spittoons, and the large, three-shelf, double-sided icebox to the side. Most of the men in the image are wearing work clothes.
Black and white image of a snow-covered town. Note how deeply the snow is piled on the porch extending from the back of the church, and how it's piled on the zigzag rail fence in the lower left of the image.
Sepia-toned image of a number of men standing on a wooden trestle. The trestle if four stories tall, and men stand on the top level where the tracks will run, and on another, lower level. One man is visible on the hillside just beneath the trestle; several others are seated in and standing on the various levels of the trestle. The woods in the background are in full leaf, and none of the men wear heavy coats. Several hold large mauls or axes.
Six men pose in front of a machine in a forest. The machine consists of a boiler with a boiler with a smokestack extending above machinery under a framed porch, and a cable wound onto a spool. The entire mechanism sits on two large, squared off logs that are partially buried in the ground beneath it. A cable runs from a lever extending above the front of the machine out of the image to the right. Three men stand in front of the machine on the foundation logs, large chains with links as big as their feet on the wood below them. Two are dressed in work clothing, light shirts and dark pants with hats or caps. The third man wears overalls and a hat pushed back on his head. In the foreground, one man sits with his feet dangling over the edge of a large log laid across the support logs for the boiler. A man sits on a block behind him, feet dangling over the first man's shoulders. A third man sits on a block nearby. All wear overalls over light shirts, and various styles of hat. Pine trees of various sizes fill the background of the image, and the ground in the left of the image is covered with debris and tree limbs.
A man with a double team of white horses poses in front of a large, two-story plus frame building. Cut lumber is piled to the right of the image and in the foreground before the mill. Lumber can also be seen piled on the board floor of the first building. Cut stumps line along beside the building. He wears a light-colored shirt and dark pants. Tall, back-lit pine trees fill the background of the image, and the ground is generally bare with some vague debris littered to the left.
A man sits on a load of wooden pallets in a wagon hitched to a two-horse team. On the back of the wagon is a large, cloth-covered bale. The man holds the reins for a two-horse team and a whip or goad of some sort. The road is plank, and the building behind the wagon has a raised porch, carved spindles that support the roof, and a large, double window that frames a recessed doorway. A power pole stands by the corner of the building, and the side of the next building shows paned, double-hung windows in a series of three on each of two floors beneath a gabled roof.
Two men stand inside a saloon. One man in a business suit, with a thick mustache and wire-rimmed glasses, stands at the end of the bar, his hands, with fingers interlaced, resting on his stomach. Behind the bar on the other side of the image, a man in a white jacket and tie stands, holding aloft a foaming glass of beer. Between the men on the back wall is a large mirror, with an ornate metal cash register and a number of glasses arranged in front of it. Shelves adorn each end of the mirror, and a wooden framework with carved spindles rises above it. To the left of the man in the suit sits an old fashioned icebox style cabinet. Spittoons are set on the floor along the bar's bottom rail, and three deer-head trophies line the wall above the bar. Advertisements for 'Old Joe Gi[illegible] Whisky' and 'H. Weinhard Brewery Buck Beer' adorn the walls, along with a large print of a woman in a fluffy feathered hat. A curtained entrance segregates the section of the bar to the right of the image from the rest of the area.
A wooden oil derrick stands amongst small wooden buildings in an open meadow. Two tall pine trees stand next to it. Several cars are parked in the area, and there are several cars parked on the grassy area around the buildings. A wooded hillside rises in the background of the image.
A woman sits on the edge of a covered front porch of a two-story, gabled house with an attic window. She wears a dark skirt and a lighter, long-sleeved shirt. Her hair is pulled back and up. A door with an upper window and a screen is visible at the lower left of the house, and pairs of double-hung windows are placed on the front of each story, with a small, square single-paned window opening from the attic area. A single double-hung window is visible on the side of each floor. A chimney sits at the top of the house, and a single-story addition is just visible at the back of the image. A large evergreen rises behind the house, and leafy bushes fill the lower left of the image. Two potted plants rest on the front of the porch, with another plant being trained up on the middle porch support post.
Black & white photo of the town of Buxton, taken from a nearby ridge. A number of houses, ranging from small dwellings to larger two-story structures with nearby barns and outbuildings, and commercial buildings are visible. One is recognizably a church, with a steeple and cross. A wooded ridge rises to the back of the photo, and to the right a train with smoke coming from its smokestack is visible. A split rail fence runs across the lower front of the image.
A large two story wood building with side gables and a flat roof all the way across the front with no dormers. The front porch starts from the right front corner and goes about 4/5 across the front. A second story porch is the same length. There is a decorative railing that goes across the front above the porch on the roof. The building extends a good distance back on the right side indicating that this is not a single residence. There is a large deciduous tree in the front yard devoid of leaves. A horse drawn buggy is parked on the left side of the building. There is a sidewalk of undetermined material. A sign post with an oval sign at the top stands out by the street, BUXTON HOUSE, with an ornate top above the sign.
