Look for your great grandparents here!

A list of the contributors to the new wing added in 1920 to the former Villa St. Vincent Hospital, Crookston, MN.  I found my great grandparents "Electrical Store," contributing $2!  Could Charles E. Lindberg be the father of Charles A. Lindbergh.  Charles A. Lindberg's father was brought her for treatment. Some of the names were hard to read because they were written in fountain pen.  If you have a correct spelling or more history, Please comment!

The Story of the Lost Stained Glass

Image
Care and Share got the former cathedral church when they purchased the former rectory and adjacent land. The plans were to expand the Care and Share Homeless Shelter and they did that. They never wanted the former Cathedral, but it was part of the package. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency funded part of the project, said Jan Delage. Sister Justina was in charge of the Care and Share Board at that time. People constantly approached Care and Share about the cathedral. People were very interested in its future. Of course, the non-profit homeless shelter did not have funding to tear it down (estimated at that time $35,000) nor did they have a use for the building. The board was concerned about preserving the stained glass. There were problems with the high school kids smoking and lounging behind the church. Stones were thrown and some of the storm window glass was broken. In an effort to preserve the glass, Care and Share gave the ventilator windows with family names on them to

Daycare in Methodist Church, Kids Zone Goal, and a process for doing it all

On April 19, the Prairie Skyline Foundation (PSF) offered the former Methodist Church as an in-town site for a large daycare to Craig Hoiseth of CHEDA.  Kay Hegge, Board Chair of PSF, showed the building to Hoiseth, and although much work is needed, the value of the building could be clearly seen.  The big advantage is size.  There are 12 large “Sunday School Classrooms,” a small gymnasium, a place to hold small plays, a dining room, offices, and a kitchen.  PSF obtained the building from Rainbow Ministries who were letting it go to back taxes.  “We all know what happens to tax-forfeited buildings that are dumped on the County.” said Hegge, who had experienced first hand Polk County’s preference for tearing down historic buildings. We don’t need any additional work right now, so we are just going to get the electrical and heat going again while gathering estimates on the roof. Craig Hoiseth explained that a daycare will need a fire suppression system, become ADA compliant, it needs a

Old Crookston Paint & Glass building is demolished. HISTORY of the FORMER CROOKSTON PAINT & GLASS BUILDING The former Crookston Paint & Glass Building at 107-109 W Robert Street has housed many businesses since it was built in 1897. We refer to it as one building today, yet it was built as two buildings each 25’ wide which was typical for a downtown store. J. Jorgenson built the building after filing an easement agreement to anchor into the wall of the Odd Fellows Building ( Union Building ). Mossefin & Co. had its offices there for several years on the east side (107 W Robert) while O.C. Rood occupied the west side (109 W Robert). “Mossefin & Lindel These gentlemen are the proprietors of the only merchant tailoring establishment in Crookston. Their store is a large handsome building on Robert Street between Main and Broadway. Here they keep constantly on hand a fine assortment of domestic and imported cloths, cassimere and other notions suit
