"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

The first Catholic Church in Klamath Falls was built in 1905 at the corner of Donald Street and Worden Avenue. An addition to the building provided housing for the priest, and a barn was built to shelter his horse. A woodshed is seen behind the church building in this photo. The church purchased property at the corner of Eighth and High Streets in 1916, and this building was moved to the new location. A brick church building replaced the wooden structure in 1929. Meanwhile, the old property on Worden Street became the home of Fairview Elementary School in 1920.
The view in this post card photo takes in everything from Sixth Street in downtown Klamath Falls to Olene Gap on the horizon. Nearly all the buildings in this photo, taken around 1915, are wood-frame structures. Among the handful still standing today is the Jacobs Building at the corner of Sixth and Main, constructed in 1909. A few homes had been built in the Mills Addition when this photo was taken. The A Canal, built in 1906, is still easy to trace across the background.
Traffic appears to be quiet in this photo taken at the corner of Fifth and Main streets. A notation on the post card (cropped out in this view) indicates a date of 1926. At that time Klamath Falls was in the midst of its boom period, when lumber mills were in operation throughout the area, and irrigated agriculture was rapidly expanding. A sign on the Odd Fellows building at left points to the basement office of the Klamath News, the town's morning paper. Down the street is F.W. Woolworth, and at the end of the block, the Hall Hotel, later known as the Stevens. The stand of trees at far right lined the courthouse block.
It appears a crowd has gathered to welcome someone arriving by train at the new Southern Pacific depot in Klamath Falls. Local photographer Charles Miller captured the scene in 1911. It appears most of the people came by automobile, and a few by horse. Some, no doubt, walked. A few houses had been built in the Mills Addition at the time this photo was taken. A close look reveals the community band was on hand for the event, though it's not known what the occasion was.
Only one house is seen on Pacific Terrace in this post card photo showing Klamath Falls as seen from near the top of Esplanade Avenue, which is seen trailing off the right edge of the image. This photo was taken sometime after water was first turned into the A Canal in 1907, and sometime before the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1909. Look closely to see cages protecting newly planted trees along streets in the Hot Springs subdivision.

In the early 1900s, this large building located along Esplanade Avenue near Modoc Field housed a geothermally heated swimming pool. On this post card the facility was labeled "New Bath House," but it was most commonly known as the natatorium.

These are more elaborate art work processed with Photoshop beyond merely adjusting the picture elements. There may be textures or other elements added to the picture, therefore not, basically, a processed negative. Test shots with some Kodak 2238. These are ISO 20 shot with canon eos 10QD and a Vivitar Auto Wide 21mm T4 lens in M42 mount. Working on a faster developer XR-1 to boost the speed to ISO 80. These were just some fun scans and post goofing.

This impressive stone masonry building served as the Central Elementary School in Klamath Falls from 1905 to 1928. The building stood between Eighth and Tenth Streets on the northwesterly side of Main. It was torn down to make way for the Oregon Bank Building, known in later years as the Medical Dental Building.
The older wood-frame school building that had served the community since 1890 is seen at far right. While the stone building was torn down after only 24 years of use, the older building served for many more years as an apartment building.

London Post card from 1969 which depicts London transport's RM1737, LT's first all over advert bus which advertised Silexine Paints with scenes of the Capital painted all over the bus. This bus now resides in the London transport museum in Covent Garden although it is a different body and running units due to LT's overhaul system.

The Houston Hotel at the corner of Second and Main streets in Klamath Falls was the scene of the deadliest fire in Klamath County history when it burned in the early morning hours of Sept. 6, 1920. At least nine people – and possibly as many as 13 – perished in the blaze that occurred as the hotel was filled with visitors for the Labor Day weekend. A service station that has been idle for several years currently occupies this spot. Flames from the hotel spread across Main Street to the Houston Opera House, destroying it as well. Both buildings were operated by J.V. Houston, a prominent businessman in town. Although the name "Livermore" appears on a sign on the building, it was known by local residents as the Houston Hotel.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
A popular scenic viewpoint on The Dalles-California Highway was located at Algoma, about six miles north of Klamath Falls. This spot, also known as Rattlesnake Point, was bypassed when Highway 97 was rerouted along the bottom of the hill in 1951. Bare Island is seen at far left in this photo.

Nothing is known about the story behind this post card other than what can be surmised from the card's message. The first Portland Rose Festival occurred in 1904. At the time this card was produced for the 1908 Rose Festival, Klamath Basin residents were optimistic they would soon have a railroad connection with the state's urban center. Unfortunately, it would be another year before the Southern Pacific Railroad reached Klamath Falls from the south, and yet another 17 years before there was a direct rail line between Klamath and Portland. The card's beautiful design doesn't highlight any features unique to Klamath. It was likely a stock image.
Wooden planks served as the platform for Oregon Gov. George Chamberlain when he paid a visit to Klamath Falls – an occasion worthy of putting on a picture post card. With the county's 1888 courthouse as a backdrop, Chamberlain spoke to a crowd gathered on the courthouse lawn. No date was noted for this photo. Chamberlain served as Oregon governor from 1903 to 1909. The only other person museum staff can identify in this photo is Capt. O.C. Applegate, seen second from left from the governor.
