La Grand Hotel located on Block 12 of the original town on the northeast corner, Pacific Avenue. Built in 1900 as the Teepee-Tonka, a hotel and business block, and renamed the La Grand Hotel in 1910. Ref: The Morris Sun, 26 Apr 1900, 3 May 1900; The Morris Tribune, 5 May 1900.
The main building of interest in this photograph is the Ludcke Theater, which was located on the west side of the 100 block of South Minnesota Avenue in St. Peter. In spite of the narrow front of the theater, the rear portion was much wider, as can be seen by looking at the tallest structure in the photograph, which was part of the stage of the theater.
