Some Old Dalton Pictures

Click on images to enlarge.

This is the old Dalton Hotel.   It was located

between the bank & what is now Ray's Oil.

This house was built by Ole Synstelien and is 

still standing on North Central Ave.

I do not know which church this is.  At first I

thought it was Sarpsborg Church, but the picture

on the altar is not the one that was at Sarpsborg. 

Perhaps it is the interior of St. Olaf Church?

Or possibly of the Tordenskjold church that burned down?

There was no date or any other information on the picture.

Does anyone recognize this altar?

This is what so many in Dalton used to call the "lower joint"

but at the time this picture was taken, it was called

"Curly's Beer & Lunches"

The building is not there anymore.  It was located 

in the same spot as "The Hideout" is today.

The owner & family lived upstairs.

This picture is from about 1950.

Postcard of the new Zion Church in Dalton.

The postcard was sent to Mrs. Nina Holms in Verndale, MN.

Here is what the back says:

"Hallo, how are you in the pines?

Well, did Gina get the clothes I sent her -

I never heard.

.....?........on our place so it will keep us

bizze for awhile.  You must write me a 

long letter.  This is our new church in our

big city.  Is it not a fine one.

Anton Foshaug got married to Olga Anderson.

The edges have been cut from the postcard.

And yes, it is spelled b-i-z-z-e.

I enjoy when people give me photos to scan!

Kind of a good way to preserve some of the history.
