The Mills and Bolton, Looking North - c. 1960

Another in a series of aerial views taken while planning Interstate 205, this photo shows the industry on both sides of Willamette Falls, and the community of Bolton in the upper right.

Detail view 1 reveals that the Oregon Woolen Mills building (the long brick structure) is still standing. At this time it had been purchased by the paper mill, and was being used by that company.

Detail view 2 shows the old Willamette Hotel in the left foreground, as well as commercial buildings to the right that were replaced by the freeway some years later.
