In 1913, William H. Smith built this rooming house on the south side of Main Street.

Smiths' brother Ed, and his wife, Hattie, managed the place. It was later purchased by Jim Terry

and was known as the Terry Rooming House, the Terry Hotel, and later the Point Hotel.

From the left to the right on main street: my Grandfather Hanks' Barber Shop, The Modern Cafe, The

Federated Store (later Bryan's), and Buttrey Foods, the largest grocery store in Wolf Point (around 1954):

Main Street with the Elks, The Liberty Theatre, Beacon Tire Service and the Frigidaire dealer:

The movie playing at the Liberty Theatre was "The Boy From Oklahoma" starring Will Rogers, which would date this picture to 1954.

The movie also starred Sheb Wooley, Slim Pickens and a "later-to-be" talk show host by the name of Merv Griffin!

These next two photos were taken about 1941: The business in the middle could be what later was the Stockmans Bar and to the right of it could have been Frank Catlin's office, but I'm not sure.  I believe the photos are of offices you'd see as you are going south towards main street just leaving the underpass.  Any ideas?
