Description
A black and white photograph of The Dalles, Oregon, taken from a hill southeast of town ca. 1908. In the background to the north the Columbia River winds its way to the sea; beyond it rise up low mountains. There are a few buildings on the Washington side of the river; on the Oregon side a number of houses and other buildings can be seen amongst the scattered deciduous and conifer trees. The largest buildings are near the shore. The tower of the what is probably the Christian Church, which was built in 1893 at 9th and Court streets, is just visible near the center of the photograph. In the foreground are fields and meadows with fences. In the right foreground is a road. Near it a white horse grazes, while two men walk along it beyond a barn.
