Historic Hood River
7th? 9th?

Notes
This Alva Day view is tagged as 9th Street, but I think it may be 7th Street. It’s always nice when Mt. Adams is included in a view since its relationship to the hills in the foreground allows for pretty precise alignment. This time, when I found the spot which lined up (7th and Eugene) I discovered the exact same house to the left side of my view.
While street is paved and the steam-powered sternwheelers are retired, the view hasn’t changed all that much (though the oak tree in front of the house has put on a few inches).

Beautiful. But, if you lived in that big house, you would have to have a job in town, because you sure couldn’t live off the land.
Thanks for the “today” view. Alva Day would appreciate the 2024 power poles.

Good old Catholic Hill. The old Catholic church would have been to the right and up the hill a bit.

It looks like that old house used to have a pretty cool second story screened in porch- it’s such a short season to enjoy the use of that- and maybe snow filtering in, made someone decide to enclose it all.
