High Water in Ferndale, 1909

I thought the recent rains made this a good time to post this photo.

Ferndale 1895-1905 (ish)

Ferndale (this photo was marked c. 1892 but the wires make that very unlikely)

Ferndale, c 1908 (source: Peter Palmquist)

These photos had different dates, but they look like they’re from the same time period (and probably the same storm).

I think at least one of the kids in the top photo (on the left) has a snow ball (click, click, click to enlarge).

And then there’s this one, which is my favorite and predates both snow pics.

Ferndale Main Street, c. 1895
