Nettie Shipley Haines Photograph Album

The house of Alvin T. Smith at the south end of what is now Elm Street in Forest Grove, Oregon. This photograph shows the back, or western side, of the house as it appeared circa 1900. The house was built by Alvin T. or "A.T." Smith between 1854-1856 on his donation land claim, which he first occupied in 1841. He earlier had several log cabins on the property. Smith was a former missionary, a minister, and a carpenter by trade. He lived there with his first wife, Abigail; and then with his second wife, Jane. The house remained in the Smith Family until around 1920. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1974, but was abandoned around 1990. Since 2005, it was been owned by the Friends of Historic Forest Grove, who have done extensive stabilization and restoration work. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album. Some members of the Shipley Family lived near this house in the early 1900s.

The house of Alvin T. Smith at the south end of what is now Elm Street in Forest Grove, Oregon. This photograph shows the front, or eastern side, of the house as it appeared circa 1890-1910. This photograph was likely taken by or on behalf of one of the members of the Manley Shipley Family, who lived on the property around that time. The house was built by Alvin T. or "A.T." Smith between 1854-1856 on his donation land claim, which he first occupied in 1841. He earlier had several log cabins on the property; possibly including the cabin structures visible on the left side of this image. Smith was a former missionary, a minister, and a carpenter by trade. He lived in this home with his first wife, Abigail; and later with his second wife, Jane. The house remained in the Smith Family until around 1920, though it was rented out to several families. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1974, but was abandoned around 1990. Since 2005, it was been owned by the Friends of Historic Forest Grove, who have done extensive stabilization and restoration work.

A photograph of Academy Hall located on the Pacific University campus, as it appeared around 1900. Academy Hall was a twin structure to Old College Hall, which can also be seen in the background of this image. Academy Hall was built in 1864 and housed the classrooms of Tualatin Academy, which was the college preparatory high school attached to Pacific University. Academy Hall burned down in 1910. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.

A photograph of three women sitting on the front steps of Marsh Hall located on the Pacific University campus. Marsh Hall was built in 1895 and named after Pacific University president, Sidney Harper Marsh. Marsh Hall housed the university's chapel, recitation rooms, classrooms, administration offices and rooms for the literary societies and the Christian Associations. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.

A black and white photograph of Ruth and Grace Haines with three friends. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.

Log cabins on the property of Alvin T. Smith at the south end of what is now Elm Street in Forest Grove, Oregon. This photograph shows the cabins as they appeared circa 1900; they are no longer standing. These cabins stood on the land of Alvin T. or "A.T." Smith on his donation land claim, which he first occupied in 1841. He built these cabins soon thereafter. Smith was a former missionary, a minister, and a carpenter by trade. The cabin on the left was his residence; the cabin on the right served as a store and as the first post office in Forest Grove. Smith built a large framed house nearby (not pictured in this image) between 1854-56, at which time he ceased living in the cabin. The framed house, now known as the "A.T. Smith House," is still standing. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album. Some members of the Shipley Family lived near this house in the early 1900s. For another, clearer view of the same cabins with additional notes, see Pacific University photograph, PUApic_009198.

A cyanotype photograph of an older woman, presumed to be Susan Shipley (1838-1908) sitting on a porch with a sheep and four lambs, one of which is on her lap. A black dog is barely visible behind her. She appears to be sitting on the porch of the side addition to the A. T. Smith House in Forest Grove, Oregon. Susan was the wife of Manley Shipley, who rented the A.T. Smith House and property around this time. This photograph was probably taken sometime between 1890-1900. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album. For a related photograph appearing to show the same steps and porch as this photograph, see Pacific University Archives photograph PUA_MS149_94.

A photographic postcard featuring the First National Bank in Forest Grove, Oregon as it appeared soon after its construction. It was built in 1913 by local bankers Edward Haines and John Templeton. The building still stands at 2004 Main Street, on the northwest corner of the most prominent intersection of the downtown. A message printed on the postcard says, "New Years Greeting 1914," and provides the name of the photographer, "Bryant." This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.

A cyanotype photograph of sheep in a field. The house at 1504 Elm Street in Forest Grove, OR, stands in the background. This photograph was likely taken between 1894-1896, when E.W. Haines owned the house. The house was built in 1893 by Charles Keep. According to the Friends of Historic Forest Grove, this house was likely built by Keep as a symbol for the new "South Park" district, which had been just been added to the town in 1891. This house was sold soon after construction to Frank Davey, who sold it in 1894 to the local banker, E. W. Haines, who lived there for less than two years. Numerous other early residents stayed for short periods of time including Lavina Watt, the Agnete Staehr family, and others. This house is locally known as the "Barnes House," the "Marble House," or the "South Park House." The reason for its association with the famous bow-maker Frank Barnes is unknown, however. Barnes lived in a home on what is now 19th Avenue, and he does not appear in any city directories, censuses or in the line of title connected with this house. The name "Marble House" was bestowed by the Marble Family, who owned it from 1965-1999. The house is now called the "South Park House," after its location in the South Park Addition. This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album. For a related cyanotype photograph showing what appears to be the sidewalk in front of the house, see Pacific University Archives photograph PUA_MS149_002.

A photograph of the fence and bottom portion of the Smith-Buxton-Caples House. This house, which is also known locally as the I.L. Smith House, is located at 1938 16th Ave, Forest Grove, OR. The image in this photograph is reversed left-to-right, possible due to a misprint of the negative. See related photograph PUA_MS149_050 for another view. According to the Oregon Historic Sites cultural resource inventory of this house: "This house is said to have been built by Irwin Smith around 1876. Smith was a partner with Mr. Buxton who later lived in the house with his family c. 1900. Buxton's daughter, Rena Buxton, married a Mr. Caples and continued to live in the house. Hence the local name 'Buxton/Caples House.' This structure is a simple example of the Italianate style of architecture which was popular in the United States c. 1840-1885."

A black and white photograph of Manley Shipley with his family. Back row from left to right: possibly Mary Bailey Clarke or Ella Bailey; John E. Bailey; E.W. Haines; Nettie Shipley Haines. Seated left to right: Ruth Haines; Manley Shipley; Grace Haines; and Susan L. Shipley. The photograph probably dates from circa 1900-1902, when Grace Haines would have been about 2-4 years old. The people featured in the photograph lived in Forest Grove, Oregon. The location of this photograph is unknown but is likely somewhere in Oregon. It may have been taken on a college or school campus. The building in the background does not appear to match any that were present on the Pacific University campus in Forest Grove at the time.
