The football, baseball fields and stands are complete, and bocce ball courts lie in the foreground. Rock piles (far right) will soon be used to build the field house.
A view of northwest Chisholm from the water tower, looking north over the corner of the wall. Fifth Avenue NW runs north from the wall. In the lower left, a man works in his home garden inside the wall, while laundry hangs out to dry.
The ground was cleared of glacial rock deposits near the water tower and two blocks further west. The area was tightly packed with glacial deposits of huge granite boulders. Horse-drawn sleds, or ôstone boatsö were used to haul away the boulders, later used to construct the wall, the amphitheater, the field house, and the castle. The houses in the photo were moved into town.
