This collection includes similar images in three formats: mounted prints originally in binders, slides, and negatives.

The slides make up selected copy photos of the prints, including the annotations and descriptions as provided by Ott. Original photographer and date, if known, is included with the descriptions.
Item identification numbers for the prints include the original book number created by Ott, followed by the item number in order as found. Slide numbers follow the same system.

If an exact match of a negative and print could be found, the print is listed in the inventory with the corresponding negative number in the item description. The prints make up the Ott Historical Photograph Digital Collection.

Extent
1 item : Moscow Idaho. The names and dates of the first brick buildings built in Moscow was researched by Lillian (Woodworth) Otness in 1982 and [are] believed to be reasonably correct. Lillian is the granddaughter of Almon Asbury Lieuallen and daughter of Lillie (Lieuallen) Woodworth. William Neff homesteaded the north west 160 acres of Moscow in 1871 from Main Street west and Sixth Street north. In 1875 A.A. Lieuallen purchased the Neff property and put up a small store building at the southwest corner of First and Main streets. This was the location of the first post office in Moscow when [after] it was moved from [its original location named] Paradise Valley. Lieuallen built the large house still standing on Almon Street at the west end of First Street in 1884. Streets west of Jackson [Street] were named after the Lieuallen family: Almon, Asbury, Lilly [spelling of andquot;Lillieandquot; is correct] and Lieuallen.
