EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the "Cafe on U. S. 99" in Centralia, Lewis County, Washington. Formerly known as the "Oasis" this charming roadside establishment stands as a symbol of American history during the Great Depression era. Lange's lens captures the rustic beauty of this countryside cafe nestled along U. S. Highway 99. The worn exterior of the building tells a story of resilience amidst economic hardship and poverty that plagued rural communities during that time. As viewers gaze upon this still image, they are transported back to an era where regionalism was deeply ingrained in American culture. The composition evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when road trips were filled with adventure and discovery. The Cafe on U. S. 99 served as an oasis for weary travelers seeking respite from their journey through the vast landscapes of Washington State. Dorothea Lange's masterful photography not only documents historical moments but also serves as a visual reminder of our shared heritage and collective struggles. This print is housed within the Congressional Library's collection at the Library of Congress, preserving its significance for future generations to appreciate. As we reflect upon this image captured almost a century ago, it serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of recession and despair, there is always hope shining through - just like a small cafe standing proudly along an open road.
