  • 9707-F07. Circle City, Alaska, Bucket Brigade fire department. A man in a buckskin coat stands outside the Circle City fire department building, with a pole in his hand which is used to ring the fire alarm bell. A sign next to him says “Ring Like H--l In Case Of Fire” On the top of the building is a sign “Phoenix” with a fireman’s axe and ladder emblem. On the street in front of the building is the fire wagon, a hand-drawn cart with 21 buckets, each approximately 5 gallon. The cart has 4 small diameter wooden wheels and is designed to move the water-filled buckets to the fire scene. The next door building has advertising affixed “Hote’s National Adv Service From Bangor Me. to Circle City”. Next door is apparently a saloon with the sign “Free Lodging”.

  • 9120-07. SW Washington at Park Ave, looking east.  This is the core of Portland's Theatre district as it was in 1911.  The intersection one block in the background is Portland's main intersection from that era, 8th Ave. (now Park).  The Star Theatre, on the extreme left, is now O'Bryant Square.   On the right is Cordray's Theatre, in it's later days when it was known as the Empress and the Grand.  The heyday of these theatres was from 1900 to 1910, when Portland's population more than doubled and good crowds supported seven nights and three matinees a week.  In 1909 the Portland City Council, responding to a disastrous theatre fire in Chicago, ruled that all theatres in frame buildings must cease operations.  The April 1911 deadline doomed the theatre district, and although several new vaudeville stages were constructed in other parts of downtown, the "stock companies" lost out to motion picture in the market and were all but gone by the great depression.  The building in the background under construction is the Wilcox building, built 1911

  • 0904-D45 The East Side Mill & Lumber Company before 1925, when six of the support columns of the Sellwood bridge were built through this complex. Train tracks are now the Springwater corridor bike path. "The East Side Lumber Company was established in 1902, on the site of the smaller Sorensen and Young Planing Mill, in operation since the 1890s. During the first decade of the 20th century, the mill thrived in this growing, lumber-hungry city, expanding to include door- and box-making subsidiaries. In the 1920s, the complex employed 300-500 men, many of whom lived in Sellwood. Timber was hauled in by interurban railroad, or floated in on the river. Hard times in the 1930s led to the East Side Lumber Company’s downfall. By the end of the decade, the main mill had shut down. In 1940, a huge fire burned many of the buildings. One part of the complex, the Oregon Door Company, stayed in business until the 1950s. The first Sellwood Bridge was designed to cross at the site of the East Side Lumber complex. In fact, the Oregon Door Company was right in its path. Multnomah County couldn’t afford to purchase and demolish the building, so engineers built six of the bridge columns through it. This unusual building stood until 2011.
