This photo shows another view of the Wooden Bridge as seen in the distance, going north along the main road into Fall City, now Preston-Fall City Road. This appears to be the same era as the previous photo, as the sign is visible at the entrance to the bridge. The fences along the road again may indicate the passage of cattle drives along this road. [Five postcards from donor's collection were shared to scan.]

The first concrete bridge crossing the Snoqualmie River at Fall City. It opened for use in 2018. The photo is not labelled Fall City, but is clearly recognizable. (Preston historian Ed Holmes shared high resolution scans of two interesting early Fall City photos from photo albums assembled by Pearl Moore and her aunt Anna Larson. Background on the albums and their contents can be found in the Accession folder. The book with the two "Fall City photos" was labeled 1912-1925. Shortly after the two Fall City photos, one began to see WWI photos.)
