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.

The Linkville Trolley operated for just a few years in the early 1900s. The trolley line ran the length of Main Street, as well as out to the community of Shippington, about where Pelican Marina is located today. Museum staff speculates this photo was taken in the area where California Avenue and Third Street intersect. No one in the photo was identified. The driver may have been Charley Adams, who worked on the trolley during most of its short life.

Post Card of a popular poster for Velo Sport Bicycles, Berkeley CA, 1975. Had the Poster too but it's lost to history now, along with my bong.
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 White Pelican Hotel opened in December 1911 at the corner of Main Street and Esplanade Avenue. Built at a cost of $400,000, the facility was constructed by the Klamath Development Co., with backing from the Southern Pacific Railroad. A large sign atop the hotel could be easily seen at that time from the train depot a few blocks away. The hotel offered 93 guest rooms and a restaurant, along with a newsstand, barbershop and smoke shop. It was by far the grandest building in Klamath Falls at the time, but it was not destined to stand for too many years.
The photographs in this collection were taken by Francis Berry, who worked at Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital for more than 25 years, retiring in 1988 or 1989. Following his retirement he moved back to Indiana and did volunteer work with the fire department in Cloverdale, Indiana, as their photographer. He passed away on May 8, 2014. Mr. Berry had donated an album of these photographs to KPH, which is the source of these scans. He also collected port cards of the hospital, scans of which are included in this collection.
The scanning of his photographs was done by William Dyer, a psychologist currently working at KPH, in appreciation of Mr. Berry’s documentation of the buildings that were being torn down during the 1970s and 1980s. The images are intended to preserve the visual memory of the hospital’s history, as an important part of the city of Kalamazoo. Use of these scans is given freely to the Western Michigan University Archive and the Kalamazoo Public Library for all forms of research relating to the history of Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital.

I love this picture! I bought this post card a few years ago but had never gotten around to taking any pictures of it.
Any comments on how to improve would be welcomed :)

A lumber mill operated by John and Harry Ackley was among the early lumber operations in Klamath Falls, having started up in 1905 on the shore of Lake Ewauna. In this image workers can be seen pulling a large Douglas-fir log up the mill slip toward the steam-driven circle saw inside. The mill continued operations until 1943, making it one of the Klamath Basin's longest-running lumber concerns.

Port Ustka
Jak się okazuje, są miejsca, które istniały w Ustce wcześniej, niż mogłoby się nam wydawać. O ile budowa pierwszego usteckiego mola miała miejsce na przełomie XVI/XVII wieku, tak znacznie wcześniej zdecydowano się na budowę portu. Oblicza się, że pierwszy port wsi rybackiej, jaką niegdyś była Ustka, został zbudowany w okolicach XIV wieku.
W tamtym okresie, szlaki handlowe nie były jeszcze tak mocno rozwinięte, zatem port służył głównie mieszkańcom miasteczka. Dopiero nieco później, gdy na polskim tronie rządził Kazimierz Wielki uznano, że tak drobna miejscowość, jak Ustka może stanowić doskonały punkt przystankowy na szlakach handlowych. Wtedy to podjęto zamiar budowy prawdziwej profesjonalnej przystani, co oczywiście pociągało ze sobą duże koszty. Był to pierwszy punkt zwrotny w okresie istnienia niewielkiej nadmorskiej zwrotki, podobnie jak powstanie pierwszego dworca kolejowego pkp Ustka. Prawdziwym momentem przełomowym jednak, podobnie jak dla większości usteckich obiektów, stał się dla portu przełom wieku XIX oraz XX. Skonstruowano w tamtym czasie taki wygląd portu, jaki częściowo możemy podziwiać do dnia dzisiejszego. Inwestycja w profesjonalny port sprawiła, że Ustka stała się jednym z najważniejszych portów po tej stronie Morza Bałtyckiego. Stanowiła ważne połączenie ze Szczecinem i innymi większymi nadmorskimi miastami.
