| Title | Farmhouse bedroom interior view, Gunlogson Farmstead at Icelandic State Park, Pembina County, N.D. |
| Date of Original | 200- |
| Description | This large front living room/sleeping room in the farmhouse at the Gunlogson Farmstead at Icelandic State Park in Pembina County (N.D.) was probably originally used as a living room, but for many years Loa Gunlogson cared for her invalid parents night and day, and she used this room as a sleeping room. Several framed certificates, photos and awards highlight the achievements of G.B. Gunlogson. The flooring material is linoleum over floorboards, continuing the tendency throughout the house to use a different linoleum pattern in each room as a decorative accent. |
