The photograph was taken from Gilbert Street (the main road through town) a little north of the railroad tracks. The white building in the foreground is now a community center/town hall of sorts, but before that it was the Lushton post office, and before that it was, I believe, located across the street and to the south, where it served as an elementary school until sometime around 1961.
The brick building to the north of the community center used to be a general store. (Does anyone remember the name of the store or proprietor?) I think it remained open for business into the early 1960s. The blue house in the background is, of course, Grandpa and Grandma’s Lushton house.
