View of railroad boxcars loaded with 1919 Pan Motor Cars to be delivered to San Antonio, Texas, looking southeast along main line tracks next to Power House.
The view is to the southeast from the north side of Front Street (now Center Avenue) just west of 4th Street North. Workers are paving Front Street with cut cedar logs which were placed on end over a fir plank base. On the corner, across the intersection, stands Ole E. Flaten's Photo Gallery. On top of the pole at the corner, a telephone lineman strings wire. Two unidentified young African American men stand in the middle of the intersection.
Two men being pulled by horses. The man on the right is Peter Bonde. Peter Bonde was sheriff in Kandiyohi County from 1906-1927. He was known as the Prohibition Sheriff. Images in this collection were taken by Peter Bonde from 1890-1910.
Young male driver holding harness reins of race horse while seated in a light two-wheeled vehicle designed for one person and drawn by one horse. This photograph was taken by T. L. Bersagel and later copied by Mathias Bue.
Railroad spur in foreground extends to Maplewood Park entrance along Clear Lake; depot in background; U.S. Highway 14 was later built along this same route.
The Savage Depot stood parallel to Highway 13, Savage Minnesota near Producers and Containers Company and across the road from Mark Egan's Texaco Station. The Depot closed in 1970 and in 1973 it was purchased and moved to Murphy's Landing in Shakopee Minnesota. In 2005 the City of Savage Minnesota repurchased the Depot and returned it to Savage's Town Square, across from the original location. Del Stelling worked as a newspaper reporter and photographer, covering Savage, Burnsville, Eagan and other areas of Dakota County, Minnesota from 1959 - 1984.
View is to the southeast from the Moorhead side of the Red River from just north of present Center Avenue Bridge. Low water level in river, there is a mud bar visible in the middle of the channel in the foreground. On the extreme left the Alsop Line's grain elevator is just visible, a barge is tied up next to it. Two other barges and the Alsop Line's steamboat "Pluck" are tied up to the Moorhead bank in the distance. Also visible is the Northern Pacific Railway bridge, the Moorhead Manufacturing Company Flour Mill and the Main Avenue bridge at extreme right.
