Photos of Wolf Point businesses
and Main Street photos:
From a postcard dated March
16, 1915:

Soldiers marching down Main
Street in July of 1918. The J. H. Coffey building was located
where the old Buttrey Foods
store (now a part of Bryans) was located:

Main Street in 1919.
The Post office (with the flag) appears to be on the left and the
Arcade Cafe on the right:
Wolf Point Motor
Company. On the back of these photos it says BUILT BY G.M. PRAY - WOLF POINT,
MONT. - 1917



An early
photo, possibly taken in the '40s of a Conoco station:

An aerial view of Main Street taken at night from the top of the old
water tower, 1940. The Sherman is in the background:

Probably taken in 1918, just
before the top 2 floors of the Sherman Hotel were built:

Main Street looking east,
around 1920

Main street in the 1930's

Wolf Point main street in 1919:

The next three photos are probably taken in the '40s - The
original and two blowups of the photo:




Another old view of Wolf Point:

From Sue Stevens, an inside photo of Lund Feed & Seed, with
Einar "Pork" and Kristine "Kitty" Lund, taken
in 1939:

) Allen and Mrs. Birkland. At the side is CrystalMahllum
and other girl is unknown, The Allen's had the cafe
in the early 40's and
later sold it to the Birklands The
Allens are Bob Bowker's
Grandparents:

An early view of the
Stockman's Bar and Attorney Frank Catlin's office

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?


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):

Susan Goodman
provided these next four photos -- the 1919 Wolf Point baseball
team. The gentleman in the
dark
baseball
cap and the dark sleeves is her grandfather,
Connie
Schenkenberger:

Before my grandpa's barber shop, Sue states that her grandfather Connie (who's son was named Earl) and his wife Katie did hair. Here are some photos of that barber shop:


Connie with his dog, maybe in front of the Wolf Point Studio

Hank's Barber Shop (my grandfather) on Main Street (about 1945).
I do not know who the other Barber is, but the customers are Art
Toavs and Dutch Schreiber:

Hank Arndt, Sr. and Ralph Eggerbrecht

Hank and George Jensen:

Hank and 13 month old Terry Jackson, taken about July of 1967:

The Triangle Service
Station and Triangle Cafe in the mid '50s:

Sue Thorsen Stevens sent me this photo of Ellis C. Thorsen's
Conoco station just north of the Sherman Hotel:

The Piggly Wiggly store and Camrud Motors in about 1953:

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
was released in February of 1954.
The movie also starred Sheb Wooley, Slim Pickens and a
"later-to-be" talk show host by the name of Merv
Griffin!

Main Street taken by me about 1978 just west of the Liberty
Theatre:

Below are some fairly current photos of Wolf Point:

20th, 1939):

Clint Whitmer for this 2004 photo)
The sign on Gillette Pharmacy, around since the late '50s.
Before that there was a Huxsol Drug sign:

early days -- date unknown, probably close to 1919, as evidenced
by the following photo:

Melba Miller, Edna and Philip Jackley and perhaps Mrs. Thorson
(customer):

Edna and Philip Jackley. Their store was located direcly across
the street from the Liberty Theatre. At one time it was the
mortuary. Joyce says that in the back room close to the back door
was a trap door, and she was terrified of that room and avoided
it faithfully:
