Members of the Butte Grange No. 148

A faded black and white photograph shows various members of the Butte Grange No. 148. The members pose on the porch landing in front of the Butte Grange Hall, a white clapboard-sided building with a gabled roof. Behind the members is a doorway into the grange hall. Double-sash windows are visible to the left and right of the doorway. Above the doorway and the left window are two signs with the same inscription: 'Butte Grange No. 148 / P. of H. / Organized April 22, 1874' Three men standing in the back row each hold a staff, and another man standing to the far right holds a staff with an owl carving on top. Several men and one woman are wearing hats. A woman in the front row holds an infant, and a woman in the back row holds a young girl. All members have a ribbon pinned to their left breast. In 1874 when the Butte Grange was established, the area around present day Tigard was known as Butte and East Butte.
