This exhibit presents vintage postcards featuring Walla Walla's landmarks with modern photographs from the same vantage point (as closely as possible, that is.) Some structures are long gone, many remain—a number with only minor alterations. I hope you enjoy comparing the Walla Walla you know today with its counterpart from up to 100 years ago.

Click here for a full listing, with thumbnails, of all 145 postcards (opens to the left.)

All postcards are from the personal collection of B. Koch.
