Caption: " Cliff House #3." View of people on Ocean Beach and walking up the road to the (fourth) Cliff House in the distance, San Francisco, c. 1910. The original Cliff House was built in 1858. The second was built in 1863 and was destroyed by fire on Christmas day in 1894. The third Victorian- style Cliff House was completed in 1896, and although it survived the 1906 earthquake and fires, it burned to the ground in 1907. A fourth Cliff House (pictured) was then built with steel-reinforced concrete and opened in 1909.

Caption: "Mohawk Trail, Hoosac Mountains, Massachusetts. Greenfield Mass to Albany New York, Sept 7, 1934." Hairpin turn on the Mohawk Trail, a scenic highway in Massachusetts. The Trail, originally a trade route for Native American tribes, was adopted as the route for the first scenic road constructed in the state. A gravel road was built along the route between 1912 and 1914, and later expanded as automobile traffic increased nation-wide. It is now part of Massachusetts Route 2.
