Brown Apartment Hotel SE Grand and Hawthorne Blvd

Wonderful old building. Not sure exactly which corner it was on but it's long gone.

Early view of 5425 SW Texas Portland Oregon

This photo was probably taken sometime around 1950 not long after this house was built. Wonderful view of post-war housing and the views from this neighborhood before trees.....

1913 NE Ridgewood Drive - Portland, Oregon

Wonderful somewhat early view of 1913 NE Ridgewood Drive in Portland Oregon. Built in 1925. Parked in the driveway is a classic 1960 Chrysler Imperial so the photo is no earlier than 1960. The house remains unaltered!

2 cool old Victorian homes. Unknown location

These photos were purchased at an estate sale in St. Helens, OR but their location is unknown. You can see the eave of the house in photo 2 in at left in photo 1 and the corner of the wrought iron fence of the house in photo 1 near the bottom of photo 2. Who wouldn't want to live in THIS neighborhood!!!

Jantzen beach roller coaster in Portland flood of 1948

Long before "Superstorm Sandy" brought us the images of a New Jersey roller coaster submerged in the ocean, Jantzen Beach offered a similar glimpse. This great one of a kind snapshot taken from the Interstate Bridge shows much of the park underwater in the 1948 flood that destroyed Vanport.

View of Alexandria Louisiana

I'm unsure of the date this photo was taken but the large building near the middle is the Hotel Bentley which was constructed in 1908 so some time after that.

Moving the Captain John Brown House in 1970

Efforts were made to move this mansion from it's original location at 2035 NW Everett to Couch Park. Money ran out and the house was razed 3 years later.
