Caption: "Annheuser Busch Residence. Los Angeles," c. 1906. Unidentified woman standing in front of Tudor-style mansion, with several gables and chimneys covered in ivy. Built in 1898 in Pasadena and designed by Frederick Roehrig, the Ivy Wall (the mansion's nickname) was purchased by Adolphus Busch in 1905. Busch gradually bought up much of the surrounding property, and subsequently created the first Busch Gardens. After his death in 1913, his wife Lily continued to develop the gardens. Lily died in 1928. Over the next two decades, the gardens were gradually sold off to real estate developers. The Ivy Wall itself was torn down in 1952.

Caption: "Battery covered with snow, Fort Worden, Wash.," c. 1908-1912. Shows the three batteries at Fort Worden covered in a blanket of snow, with the ocean or Puget Sound in the distance. Construction began on the fort in 1898, and by 1902 it was serving as an active U.S. Army base. Fort Worden was part of the "triangle of fire," three coastal defense fortifications (Fort Casey, Fort Worden, and Fort Flagler) guarding the entrance to Puget Sound. The U.S. sold the property to the state of Washington in 1957. In 1973, the fort and surrounding area opened as Fort Worden State Park.
