Caption: "Old Spanish Fort -- Petaluma," c. 1920. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo began construction on the Petaluma Adobe in 1836, as a ranch house and defensive structure. It is now the centerpiece of Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park, having been reconstructed after deterioration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It is the largest existing, privately-built adobe in the state.

Caption: "Columbia River Jetty, Or.," c. 1910. View of a jetty built at the mouth of the Columbia River, carrying a railroad trestle. A train hauling cars loaded with large rocks is visible at the left side of the photograph. This is likely the so-called South Jetty, extending more than six miles into the ocean from Point Adams on the Oregon side of the river mouth. The jetty system at the mouth of the Columbia River was constructed between 1885 and 1917. Designed to funnel water from the Columbia River in a more concentrated fashion into the Pacific Ocean, the jetty system helped create a deeper, more stable shipping channel.
