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.

The Lakeside Inn was one of Klamath Falls' largest hotels in the late 1800s and very early 1900s. The building stood across Main Street and slightly west of the Baldwin Hotel. By 1919 the building was being used as an apartment building, and was torn down in 1923.

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.

After over 25 years, Austin Playhouse and Producing Artistic Director Don Toner are delighted to revisit Mark Harelik’s The Immigrant in January 2018. Based on the true story of a young Russian-Jewish couple who entered America through the port of Galveston, this moving play opens with Haskell Harelik seeking refuge in the tiny town of Hamilton, Texas in 1909

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.
Early day Klamath Falls residents built a gazebo beside the hot springs that were located about a mile north of Klamath Falls. Over the years the town grew, eventually surrounding the hot springs. A development company offered free space for a new county courthouse near the springs, and even promised to provide hot water for heating the building. The building was partially completed, but was never occupied. Klamath Union High School's football field is now located about where these springs once flowed.
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.
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.

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.

The outlet of Link River into Lake Ewauna is seen in this post card photo. The steamer Klamath is docked at the wharf seen through the left side of the bridge. Since the Klamath sailed on Lake Ewauna from 1905 to 1909, an approximate date is known for this photo. The Lakeside Inn is seen at far left, and at right is a two-story home that stood about where the Favell Museum is today. Stukel Mountain is seen on the horizon.

The Crisler and Stilts block (or building) at the northwest corner of Seventh and Main streets in Klamath Falls is shown in this undated photo – probably taken around 1915. C.B. Crisler was a prominent local businessman in the early 1900s, and served as mayor of the city. Little is known of Mr. Stilts, except that he was a sometime partner in business with Crisler.
The building housed Underwood's Pharmacy and H.J. Winters Jewelry on the ground floor.
Information previously posted here wrongly indicated this building was razed to make way for the Pine Tree Theater. The building, in fact, still stands.
Guests stayed in tents at Spink's Resort on Spring Creek in the early 1900s.
R.C. Spink, who came to Klamath County in the late 1800s, focused his business interests in the Chiloquin area. At one time he proposed supplying municipal drinking water to the city of Klamath Falls through a pipeline from Spring Creek. The city opted to drill wells instead. A community park on the west side of Chiloquin is named for Spink.

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.

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.
In the spot where the Evan R. Reames home once stood between Conger Avenue and Link River, the city drilled wells and developed a municipal water system. This pool and fountain were once a part of the system. The pool and fountain are now gone, but the city continues to use the site are a key part of its water system.
Two couples enjoy an outing on Lake Ewauna during a time when boats were an important mode of transportation in the Klamath Basin. The steamer Klamath can be seen docked in the background, and a smaller steam-powered launch can be seen to the right in the background. This photo was probably taken around 1908. People rarely smiled for photos at this point in history, but these couples were clearly having a lot of fun.

A view across Lake Ewauna toward Miller Hill and the Klamath Hills south of town is featured in this post card image from around 1905. This perspective shows the natural shoreline of Lake Ewauna before the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The steeple of the First Presbyterian Church building is seen near the lower-center of the image. The church was located at the corner of Third and Pine streets.

The Boston Store at 280-296 Main St. in Klamath Falls was constructed around 1910. The building with its distinctive ground-floor windows housed many businesses and offices over the years. Trolley tracks in the center of Main Street can be seen in this photo. This building was undergoing renovation in June 2007 when it caught fire and was destroyed. The lot remains vacant as of this writing in 2014.
