Photo postcard by Lindley Eddy, circa 1910.   The River Inn Company not only owned the hotel just above Three Rivers (see previous image), they also operated a store and "eating house" at Camp Sierra (pictured here).    This company also furnished stage transportation from Lemon Cove to Giant Forest, and they  provided "tent hotel" accommodations for tourists.   The River Inn Co. raised cows and cattle, in a nearby meadow, to provide milk and beef for the tourists and for the U.S. Cavalry stationed there.

Family photo by the Visalia studio of Robinson and Churchman, circa 1900.

Written at the top of this photo postcard: "Barris Wigwam".  Postmarked Dinuba, 10/09/1913.

An article here, indicates that this "Wigwam"  was located on Barris Hill, near the residence of Emery Barris [1847-1934].  This article states: "...the spacious wigwam for picnic parties made a romantic and enchanting scene not to be forgotten".

   Barris Hill is east of Dinuba, near the SW corner of  Avenue 424 and Road 100.

Another postcard view of the Barris Wigwam.   Postmarked from Dinuba, 7/02/1913.

Lemon Cove's railroad depot is to the right.   The depot and railroad tracks are no longer there.   The old Pogue family residence is at center, behind the wooden water tower.   This old residence is now the Lemon Cove Women's Club.

 This is a photo postcard of the Kaweah River, bridge and the River Inn (Three Rivers, CA).

It's post-marked June 1911, which is just a few of months before the River Inn burned down.

Note: Apparently this print was made with the negative slightly askew.

The following two photographs came from an old album, dated 1912.

The upper photo was taken in Richgrove, CA. The lower pic states that it is at the Kaweah River:

I would guess that they're on the railway bridge that crossed the Kaweah River in the Woodlake/Lemon Cove area.    Note that the power-lines in the background are set up for the Visalia Electric Railroad.

(Update, 10/5/12) The Tulare County Public Library's online digital collection appears to have a color photo of this same bridge, taken at a much later date, e.g.  After they took down the over-head lines for the electric railroad.   Their picture is entitled "Visalia Electric Railroad Bridge Over Kaweah River".
