| Biography/History | The Northern Pacific Depot in the background was built in 1898. The park itself was demolished in 1964. The Waldorf Hotel, the dark brick building towards the right, was built in 1899 and torn down in 1958. DeLendrecie's department store, the light brick building at center in the background, was built in 1894 as a two storey building. In 1904, three additional floors were added. In 1972 the store changed locations, yet the building stands. |
