Men Hunting Ducks on First Street During 1890 Flood, Portland, Oregon

Black and white photograph of a group of men on a flooded First Street (now Southwest First Avenue) between Washington Street (now Southwest Washington Street) and Stark Street (now Southwest Harvey Milk Street) in Portland, Oregon. The men stand in knee-deep water, all looking at four duck decoys in front of them. Two men aim guns at them. Behind them, the Crystal Palace (C.F. Sliter and J.W. McNamara) with the number 104 is visible. The photograph is mounted on a grey mat that was once bound into an album. Handwritten text below the photograph reads "Flood of Feb. 1890" and "Duck Hunting on First St." The photograph was taken in February, 1890, when excessive rain and unusually warm weather caused the Willamette and Columbia Rivers to flood.
