This postcard image shows Corvallis looking northwest. The original photograph from which the postcard was made was probably taken from the water tower at First and Adams. Photograph was hand colored.
Street view of Main Street (Second Street), Corvallis, Oregon in 1869. This is one of the earliest known photographs of downtown Corvallis. Versalius N. Preston and L. F. Wilson (father of E. E. Wilson) are standing on the single-horse dray near the center of the image.
This view was likely taken from the top of the Administration Building (Benton Hall) and shows the residential section southeast of the OAC campus. Lower campus is in the foreground and a corner of Education Hall is at the right side of the photograph.
