Here is a view of Dalton, Minnesota in 1895.
You are looking northeast towards the
back of Main Street.
Click on the photo to enlarge,
and you will see people,
laundry on the line, a dog and
many other little details.
on top of the elevator.
Some of these buildings are no longer standing,
but the two on the left are still there.
The darker building on the left is now the Dalton Cafe.
The one next to it is part of JC's Grocery Store.
A long time ago the building was added on at the back
and has a different lean-to.
If you were to go to the back room of the store,
you would find that there are 2 back rooms.
At one point, the owner of the store lived there.
Another interesting tidbit--in 1906
There were burglars in the store.
A couple of passers-by happened to see them
and fired shots.
The bullet lodged into the back wall.
I wonder if one can still see where this bullet was?
We have been trying to figure out what the
tall building on the upper right is.
The old hardware store?
On another old photo, taken a little later,
this same building is visible.
Here is the same view (sort of).
I couldn't go on top of any building
to take the picture!
The Dalton Cafe is the tan building on the left.
JC's Store is the longer, white building.
If you compare photos, you will
note that JC's store is longer than
the original building.
And in between these two stores
is the brick building that used
to be the bank.
It is now a beauty shop.
If anyone has any old photos of Dalton,
I would really like to borrow them
to scan.
