Looking Back’s theme for 2025 features Thurston County area photographers, artists, and their subjects. Huntington Brothers operated a photographic business in downtown Olympia in the mid-19th century. Their specialty was stereographs, a pair of nearly identical photographs that creates the illusion of a three-dimensional image when viewed through a stereoscope. This image is the right side of a stereograph of Fourth Avenue in about 1874. Photograph selected and captioned by Deborah Ross on behalf of the Olympia Historical Society and Bigelow House Museum, https://olympiahistory.org.
