Today’s photograph features a more rural setting. You may not recognize the area from this picture, but this is what SE 28th near Eastmoreland looked like back in 1923. It’s amazing to see how the area transformed over the years.
SE 28th Ave. near Eastmoreland, 1923 : A2009-009.292
This scene along SE 28th Avenue near Eastmoreland shouldn’t be too far from our previous photo along 28th. The white house in the distance on the right may be at SE Schiller Street.

It’s a lovely day to be motoring down SE 28th Avenue just west of Reed College. The area in the distance is no longer quite as rural as it seemed to be in 1928.

Southeast Portland’s Reed College campus is shown looking northeast in this nice 1940 aerial view. SE 28th Avenue and Woodstock Blvd. meet in the lower left corner. Those look like tents to the north of the campus; anyone have any idea what those could be?
