These images were photographed in the early 1970s for the exhibit by an unidentified photographer. Also included is one original print of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, taken circa 1930. A few images of Parker, his home, and documents relating to his life were reproduced from originals that date circa 1911-1930. Most of the buildings included in the collection are located in Portland, but a few are located elsewhere in Oregon, including Chiloquin, Milwaukie, and the Hood River Valley.
