Additional Information: | PEAKED MOULDED LINTELS. TRANSOM ON CNR BARBER SHOP. 1986- "A classic Boomtown Front, this commercial building was built in two sections. Notice the origianl clapboard siding and the Italianate influenced second story window hoods. The west section was built in 1886 for Lewis H. Lois, who is said to be the first tailor in town. The east storefront was built to house John and Ray Bakken's barbershop in 1912 and it was used as a barbershop for many years. Other uses have been a cigar and tobacco shop, grocery store and restaurant, and a produce company from about 1919 to 1928, which sold farm products such as eggs, butter, poultry, game, hides and furs."
