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.

The heyday of the post card was basically from 1900-1912 or so. This is a “real photo” card, showing a residence. Itinerant photographers would travel from town to town, take photos of homes of prominent citizens (or others who paid them) and sell copies to the owner, who could then send photos of his house to friends, etc. Photographers in various communities, as well, did the same for their locales. What endures from this passion for photographing and sharing images of homes is a wonderful record of the domestic architecture from that time period.

Matt Denton says:

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.

This is a vintage Post Card from my grandmother

Holiday Inn Poplar Ave. Memphis, TN

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.

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.

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.

A horse-drawn float presented by the Klamath County Real Estate Dealers Association makes its way down Main Street during a parade in the early 1900s. Along with the trolley rails in the street, the names of businesses on the float helps with dating this image at around 1908. The list included Mason Abstracts, Shepherd Bros. Abstracts, Wilber White Realty Co., and C.P. Gregory Real Estate, and Tom Stephens Real Estate.

The Virginia Episcopal School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

A thrifty scout, wins at poker and chess in spite of conditions.

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.

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.

Another of the old postcards (well, not really, really old...postmarked 1983) I came across while "helping" my ex- sort thru piles of papers.

The Algoma Lumber Co. mill was located about seven miles north of Klamath Falls, along the east shore of Upper Klamath Lake, and immediately adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad. This undated photo was probably taken a few years after the mill opened in 1914. In this view, smoke is seen rising from the mill's slab burner (at right-center) before the wigwam tower had been built. The concrete base of the burner can still be seen today at the site.
