The first circus to come to Klamath Falls was on the occasion of Railroad Day in June 1909. The event was held in celebration of the previous month's arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Having train service not only meant that commerce and industry would soon thrive, but that circus companies could be brought to town. According to newspaper reports, Snow's Pony and Dog Show was contracted for the celebration. A banner seen in the center of this image advertises "Don Fulano, The "Educated Horse."
Vintage postally unused post card from the iconic Borscht Belt Catskills Jewish Delicatessen and Restaurant in Monticello, New York - Kaplan’s. Serving Hebrew National Products since delicatessen was born. Closed in 1982. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
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 Virginia Episcopal School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

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.

"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.

Pine logs are displayed in a post card that might have been taken anywhere in the Intermountain West in the early 1900s. This image ended up in a collection gathered by James Floyd of Klamath Falls. He donated the collection to the Klamath County Museum in 1973.

An auto trip from Klamath Falls to Crater Lake was truly an adventure in the early 1900s, when this photo was taken. This wooden bridge across the Wood River was located on the road leading into the town of Fort Klamath. Highway 62 crosses the Wood River at this same spot 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.
© This month we have had over 30" of snow this last one was a beautiful one, with the mositure contents it stuck to all of the tree branches.. priceless
Klamath County constructed a fairgrounds facility just east of town in the early 1900s. The grandstands are seen slightly above and left of center in this post card photo taken around 1907. The following year the fairgrounds were moved to a new location at the south end of Lake Ewauna. The Southern Pacific Railroad came through the old fairgrounds site in 1909. A cluster of trees at the Stukel Ranch is seen at upper left. The ranch was located just south of the A Canal, near where the YMCA is today. South Sixth Street is seen at upper left, extending toward another cluster of trees at the community of Altamont.

Interior of the Beckley Drug Co., from a post card postmarked in 1910. On Main Street, across from the court house.
Most of the cards in this album date from around 1904 to 1910 but some are a little later to around 1914
Charles R. Miller captured this photo of five men hiking down to Crater Lake in 1909. At that time there were no improved trails leading to the lake's shore. Visitors had to scramble 900 feet down the caldera wall to Eagle Cove, directly below the area now known as Rim Village. Trail improvements began in the year after this photo was taken.
