Vintage La Grande photos show old town and river shops
World Pictures recalls La Grande history with two Bert Benglesdorf photos from about 25 years ago. One image captures South La Grande and Fourth Street in early infancy, the other shows Jefferson Avenue, railroad shops, roundhouse, and landmarks like Wilber's livery stable and Porter's hotel before the June election. The images are now in James R. Smith's window.
