Hood River from the Eastside Grade - c. 1910

Looking north down Hood River from the east bank, we see the town named after the river to the left. In the distance is the Columbia River, and the hills of Washington State on the other side.

Detail view 1 shows the highway bridge and the railroad bridge, with a steamboat docked beyond the railroad. Detail view 2 gives a better look at the town itself.

This photo was taken before the construction of the Scenic Columbia Gorge Highway, built between 1913 and 1922. It is part of series of stereoviews of the town of Hood River created by photographer Frank Patterson. Other examples can be seen in the Related Items tab.
