Photo postcard of the Townsend School, circa 1913.   Photo by Vogt.    This school was located in Elderwood,  on the east side of Millwood Drive;  a couple miles north of Woodlake.    It was later renamed the Elderwood School.
According to Marsha Ingrao's book about Woodlake:   The school was built in 1908 and would have only had two rooms at the time of this photograph.


Photo postcard of  Woodlake's  Brick Block building.   Circa 1914.   It was located at the NE corner of  Valencia and Naranjo Boulevards.     Apparently someone thought they sold good bananas there.


Postcard image of the Woodlake's Presbyterian Church under construction.   Circa 1913.


Photo postcard by Vogt.   Circa 1915.     So far,  I haven't been able to find out what exactly these gentlemen were "Stockholders" of.


Sprinville,  circa 1914.     I'm not sure what this building was.    I posted this image to a Springville facebook group.   The best clue I got from  FB  was that this structure was possibly used as an extension for the Mt. Whitney School in Springville, during the early 1920s.


Postcard image of Strathmore, circa 1913.    The two-story brick building at the left side of the image appears to be the Strathmore Block building.    This structure still stands and its appearance hasn't changed very much.    It's located on the SE corner of Bruce Drive and Orange Belt Drive.
