Another photo postcard of Orosi.   Circa 1910.   Note that the building at the near-right of this photograph also appears on the right side of the Orosi postcard  above.  i.e.  It looks like the same street, viewed in two different directions.


A  George Besaw postcard of Lindsay's  Southern Pacific Railroad depot, circa 1909.


Another image of Lindsay's railroad depot;  taken from a different angle (see above).    Circa 1910.

Postcard of Visalia's Main Street, looking east.    Photo by Ramsey, circa 1907.
The Holt Block building is at the left side foreground,  its small cupula tower was on the NW corner of  Court and Main Streets (where Starbucks is now).   The bank clock-tower further down the street was at the NW corner of Church and Main,  where the five story Bank of Italy building was later built.

Image from a photo postcard sent by Harriett  L. Villemin,  postmarked  9/3/1908.     Harriett identifies this as "our bungalow",  in Plano CA.     The 1910 U.S. Census lists Harriett as living in Plano with her husband Lewis and her son Lewis Jr..


Photo portrait by  A. R. Moore's  Opera House Studio in Porterville.  Circa 1910.


Postcard image of Porterville's Pioneer Hotel, on Main St.   Circa 1909.


Photo postcard of  Dinuba,  looking southerly down L Street (Near the corner of Tulare and L).  Circa 1911.     I believe the building,  on the left,  with the second floor balcony is the Commercial Hotel.    On  1/30/2016,  I posted a photo which appears to be taken from this hotel's balcony.
