A small snapshot taken at Mooney Grove, 1920.


 Postcard image of Ducor's water tower, circa 1910.


 Drying peaches, most likely in the Exeter area.  Circa 1912.    This is a  cyanotype  print (Thus the bluish color.).


Postcard image of the Ranger Post Office in Giant Forest (Sequoia National Park).   Circa 1910.


Photo postcard of the Terra Bella Hotel  in  Terra Bella.  Circa 1911.   This was one of the structures built by the Terra Bella Development Company (a real-estate company), to promote the town's growth.

(Added 11/5/16)  Another postcard view of the Hotel Terra Bella.  Circa 1911.


Postcard image of the Christian Church of  Porterville, circa 1910.
Close up:
The sign above the door states:  "Christian Church    G.D. King".
The 1909  Porterville City Directory lists the  Rev. Guilford D. King as the pastor of the Christian Church.
According to the Rev. King's  testimonial  for the Easy Method Music Co.,   he would have been 75 years old on (or before) 1915...   So I would guess that he's the elderly gentleman in this image.

    1. I don't have any Earlimart photos, as such. There's a school photo I posted on July 11, 2012 that was done by a photographer from "Alila, Cal.", but I don't know the location of the school.
