1940's

This 1940's view looks east down the centerline of the gravel street identified as "Market Street", now named East Dahlia Avenue. Numerous automobiles of the day are parked on both sides of the street. At left a small portion of the Post Office building is visible in foreground. The chicken houses of the hatchery are slightly visible farther along the street next to a patch of heavy forest. At right the building housing three small shops is apparent with the Barbershop doorway, sign and barber pole visible. Partially visible next along the street is the Trading Post which became the Recreation Hall about this time when the store moved across the street. Several men are visible near the automobiles. A series of power poles and lines occupy this side of the street. Snow-clad mountains form the background.
