Date: 1890-1900
Description: Although not identified on the photo, this is a mutoscope, invented by Herman Casler, commercialized in 1896. It was a hand-cranked viewer for exhibiting a reel of photographs printed from motion picture film. The photographs were radially mounted on a carousel and flicked over in a rapid sequence to give the illusion of movement. The one in this photograph appears to be coin operated.

Date: 1890-1900
Description: Caption printed on front: "Fairhaven, Washington, Pacific Coast Terminus of the Great Northern Railway, Looking East." Looking toward Fairhaven and South Hill from what is now the train station ferry terminal. In the immediate foreground a dock extends into the water with a small building at the end that says Fairhaven Land co. on its roof. To the right of the dock, at the water's edge, is an open area with what appear to be wooden pallates scattered about, as well as several carriages pulled by horses. A boat sits askew at the water's edge. There are several ships in the harbor beyond the dock. The railroad runs across the middle ground of the photo. There are many houses and churches on South Hill, but no trees. Taylor, Knox, Harris, Mckenzie Avenues are visible and possibly the Fairhaven Hotel (smudged) and the Mason Block, what is now Sycamore Square. Mt. Baker rises in the distance over South Hill.

Title: Row of unidentified clapboard cottages (might be company housing)
Date: 1900-1910
Description: Four identical small white clapboard cottages in a row and a fifth that is partially visible but bigger with a pickett fence around it. The cottages all have one front window and door and a gabled roof with a small gabled porch below. They are set among ferns and evergreens with a few deciduous trees around the bigger house. A man and woman stand on the porch of one of the cottages; a man in a suit and hat stands on its steps. Four men sit in a Model T convertible stopped in the ferns and brush right below the cottages. The men in the Model T wear hats and workers' clothes. A tall pole stands between and in front of the bigger house and cottage where the couple stand. There is an illegible notice tacked to the pole. This is likely company housing of some kind.
