Ford Model T stopped by the drugstore
Title
Ford Model T stopped by the drugstore
Description
A black and white photograph featuring a Ford Model T stopped by a drugstore in downtown Forest Grove during the Gay Nineties parade. Photographer Allan J. de Lay may have taken this photograph, which dates to the 1950s or early 1960s.
This is one photograph from a collection on the Gay Nineties festival and the the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest in Forest Grove, Oregon. The festival centered around a theme of nostalgia for the 1890s decade. The event, which ran from 1947 through the 1990s, featured a parade downtown, residents dressing up in 1890s-themed costumes for the celebrations, local businesses decorating their window displays, and the crown jewel of the event, the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest, which earned Forest Grove the nickname "Ballad Town U.S.A."
