Description

Oregon City Fire Dept., the Fountain Hose Company, in front of 516 (Bellomy & Busch) and 520 (Wilson and Cooke) Main Street. The Territorial Building on the east side of Main sits in its place. (JAH 11/2022) Note: I have removed the date 1905. Bellomy and Busch had moved to the Weinhard building in January and February 1898, and by 1900, Bellomy sold his half to Busch, leaving due to his wife's health. The Molalla Bulletin Volume III, Number 33 in 1974, dates this photo to 1894 (JAH 12/2022)
