Historic Hood River

Notes

This well-handled stereo card was very faded, but with a little attention some interesting details started to pop out.  The reverse side lists all the cards in the “Rocky Mountain Scenery” series, with a pencil line indicating this is #447, Coalville, Weber Valley.  Check out all of those wonderful log buildings.

You can read about the history of Coalville and see some other views here.  This series was produced to promote travel on the Union Pacific route “across the continent, west from Omaha.”
