Friday Harbor, Washington
Wonderful view of Friday Harbor. This is from a real photo post card mailed from Friday Harbor in September of 1938
Business Section of Portland Oregon
Wonderful tinted post titled: "Overlooking Business Section of Portland, Oregon". Lots of great details including some painted signs. Note the L. Mayer & Co Grocers, Honeyman, DeHart & Co Hardware, Iron Steel, Stoves and Tinware signs. I'm still not 100% sure what street this is looking onto. I vaguely recognize some buildings but can't make a certain guess.

J. H. Bratt image of Astoria Oregon
Wonderful early view of Astoria, Oregon by James Henry Bratt. He photographed Astoria from 1893 to 1895.
Early view of buildings on Third & Alder - Portland OR
Great image of SW Third in Portland. The wonderful Second Empire designed Masonic Hall (1871-1928) is the most striking. See also the intact Dekum Building and Postal Building as well as the long lost chamber of Commerce Building. Oh and there's a HOUSE in there too!
1705 SE Salmon - Portland Oregon
Wonderful early view of 1705 SE Salmon. Still there and pretty much unchanged! Wonderful Buckman Neighborhood street for viewing all kinds of historic homes!

"Modern Bungalow" on the Road of a Thousand Wonders
I'm not entirely sure this is even Portland as I have some similar postcards that say Portland but are actually homes in California. Also not too sure what this "Road of a Thousand Wonders" is. Sove the river rock foundation and the very simple stone wall!

Original E. M. Waite Menorial Fountain Salem Oregon
Early 20's image of the original E. M. Waite Memorial Fountain in Salem Oregon. It was replaced in the 1960's after it was damaged in the Columbus Day Storm.
Ladd School - Portland Oregon
Long gone downtown school. Once located on the Park Blocks. Architecture and snow..... An awesome combination!
Christian Brothers Business College - Portland, OR
I'm not sure what year it was built or when it was lost but this wonderful building once stood at the corner of NE Grand and NE Clackamas. Today it is the parking lot for my dentist.
