Description of Book
This is one volume in a series of books looking at snapshots of the business buildings in Grants Pass, Oregon in 2014 mostly photographed between March and September. As the author and photographer of most of the photos in the series, I wanted to make a photographic record of what the streets of Grants Pass looked like in 2014 because in researching other photos, I noticed that modern photos of many common places have not been archived in the files of the Josephine County Historical Society. Also, businesses frequently change and the building remains with new occupants. Therefore, as this was being formatted, some of the buildings have new tenants. It should also be noted that we have many trees in the downtown area, so the best photos are taken when the trees are bare. Summer photos often obscure the building. Most of these photos were taken in the spring with some taken later. For example, the side street section at the end of the book was photographed in September 2014.
