Residential Street in Forest Grove
Title
Residential Street in Forest Grove
Description
Picture was taken from a field at the end of South Fifth Avenue (15th Avenue) looking West down the center of the street. There are two ruts leading from the street directly toward the camera. About a third of the way into the picture Fifth Street (Elm Street) crosses at the end of South Fifth Avenue. It appears that the trolley line could be installed on Fifth Street at this time. Both streets are packed dirt and trees line both sides of South Fifth Street. On the left and on the camera side of Fifth Street a boy possibly 6 or 7 years old stands by a telephone pole looking at the camera. Behind him and across the street there is a two-story house. Two more large houses can be seen on the same side of the street looking down South Fifth Avenue. There is also a sidewalk, probably made of wood. On the right is another large house facing Fifth Avenue. This house is known as the Barnes House and the Marble House. The style is Queen Anne Victorian. Down South Fifth Street a building with a sign can be seen FOREST GROVE FLORAL CO.
