The first church building erected in Klamath Falls was the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Third and Pine streets. Built in 1885, the church was the most dominant feature on the town's landscape for several years, and was the only church building in town for some time. It served the congregation until 1919, when a new building was erected at the corner of Sixth and Pine.

The Elks Home/Lodge was situated to the rear of the Academy Theater on Main St. on a hill which no longer exists due to the radical re-landscaping which occurred in conjunction with the construction of the John Lynch Bridge.

Mountain hemlock trees help frame this panoramic image of Crater Lake captured by Medford photographer Burhl Harwood, probably around 1930. Harwood, a native of Iowa, traveled throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California to record scenes in the region. A structure can been seen in Governors Bay on Wizard Island.

Rivermont Park, which was located where today's Rivermont Park Apartments are located (near the Cavalier Store), is not to be confused with Riverside Park.

Here's a closer look at the small engine shown from a distance in Post Card No. 72. This is believed to be an engine used to construct the grade for the Southern Pacific Railroad in Klamath Falls. A steam-powered shovel is being used to load dirt into hoppers. There's a pile of firewood to fuel the shovel's steam engine, and an axe for splitting firewood is seen at center. Museum staff speculates this photo may have been taken about where the Portland Street crossing is today.
Cropped within this post card perfect view was a very sad tragedy. A retired professor drowned that day. The firemen were looking for his body out in the ocean, while the sun casts it's setting shades.
As I stood in the gentle autumn breeze behind the firemen, I felt rather insignificant, as sad as one man's death was, the sky doesn't pause to weep. It marches on beautifully as ever, as if the man never existed. The sky out lives everything.

I used distress markers for the flowers and cut them out. Added a sentiment on a Post Card which was free with a Magazine and added a sentiment.

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.

Although this French lithographic post card from 1912 purports to depict the RMS "Titanic," the RMS "Olympic" (sister ship of the "Titanic") is apparently what is actually in view. (Due to the scarcity of available "Titanic" pictures, this substitution was not uncommon at the time.) Regardless, this is a beautiful era image close to what the "Titanic" would have looked like as it called at Cherbourg.

Matt Denton says:
"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.

This post card photo shows a rowboat on Crater Lake as seen from "The Grotto" cave on the lake's eastern shoreline. The photo was taken in 1912 by Charles R. Miller, a well-known local photographer who ventured around the shoreline of the lake to capture a series of images.

The Grotto is the largest of about 40 caves located along the shore of Crater Lake. All of the caves are relatively small, and can be seen only from the water level.
