About the Helvetia Tavern, I asked Leland today what he had learned about it. All he knows is that it's on Helvetia Road, near the little area known as Helvetia.
Wikipedia has this for you: Helvetia is a small unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon. It is located in the Tualatin Valley along U.S. Highway 26 northwest of Portland. It was named by Swiss immigrants to Oregon in the 19th century. Notable features are the church, cemetery, the Rice Mineral Museum, Helvetia Vineyards and Winery, and the Helvetia Tavern. The reality television series Little People, Big World is set on Roloff Farms in Helvetia, prompting it to become a popular tourist attraction.
And there's the Web site for something else you might find of interest: http://www.helvetia-alpengluehn.com/index.html
It's about the Helvetia-Alpengluehn Swiss Singing Society Web Site--they're a Portland group.
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
Very old laundry but nice shot ! I like the light to the towels ! Very charming !
Very interesting photo.
My photography over 50 years ago >Sendai, Japan
A very spooky feel to this picture
Chandlermom: I agree, there is something eerie about the way the light catches the towels, and the fact that they're drying inside the barn.
Beautiful photo!
Nice shot. I like it. A story there...
