This famous concrete water tower dates back to 1922 in Brainerd, MN. Yes, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train is pulling through town with a load of coal from North Dakota destined for the inland port city of Duluth, MN. It will be loaded on a boat for transport to steel mills in Pittsburgh, PA. Brainerd was a railroad town at one time with repair shops that employed many people in the area.

November 8, 2008:
The
Franklin Art Center is the old Franklin School in Brainerd, MN.
On this day, there was an open house for the community to see and visit
local artists. Greeting guests were Cleo Kuelbs and Lynn Olson
singing and playing great popular music. Click on the photo for a larger image. |

On the second floor is
the architectural firm of
Oldham-Hirst Design. Paul Hirst, Chief
Architect of Gilbert Lodge, is seen at his desk. He uses
computer-aided design tools, but it is his sharp mind and creativity
that make the difference. Paul's work is excellent.
