Transcription

No. 13 Old log building. Renovated one of the old warehouses required for the purpose of the fur trade. Grandfather was an agent for the American Fur Company and had there buildings outside of the dwelling house for purposes of storage. Now this is used by the men to store their tools and repairing material. This is the building of which you have a partial glimpse through trees in the previous photograph, the sidewalk is the same as that in front of the chapel.
