This building was originally constructed in 1855 as the Winslow House in St. Peter. It has been used for several other purposes over the years. The building still stands, minus the original top floor, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Third and Walnut Streets. It once served as the first building of the St. Peter State Hospital.
The Wilson Store and residence in Maine, Minnesota. A picket fence is front of the house and a large tree grows between the store and house. There is a sign in the store window advertising the "The Lanpher Hat" (made by the Lanpher, Skinner and Copmany, located in St. Paul, Minnesota).
Bill Ritt sold Edison phonographs and records at this store at 500 South Minnesota Avenue in St. Peter. Posters of famous musicians are on the walls, and an assortment of phonographs are visible along the walls. A note on the reverse states that the store carried the complete catalog of Edison records, nearly five thousand of them.
Sidewalks continue across the street while the sidewalks themselves are well above the street. This era was a mixture, the automobile along with the horse and wagon.
The First National Bank, clothing store, drug store, the PJ Ness cash store and hardware store are some of the business on early Main Street. Wooden traffic signs, Model T Fords and a few people are seen. Many of these buildings remain today much as they were.
