Title

View of 16th Avenue, once known as 4th Avenue S.

Description

Black and white image looking down 16th Avenue in Forest Grove, Oregon. This street was previously known as Fourth Avenue South. This photograph was apparently taken in order to illustrate the changes that had occurred on the street since the 1910s, comparing it to a postcard photograph that was published in 1912. A number of large houses are visible on either side of the street, and cars are parked along the left side of the street. Large oak trees, pines, and other trees are visible. The street is paved with poured sidewalks and curbs on either side. Power lines are visible along the right side of the image. WCMpic_013317 shows the same view seventy-five years prior in 1912.
