History Mystery

Last week's photo from the Carlton County Historical Society, at right, had many people chiming in on where the photo was taken. It was obviously Scanlon, and readers pointed out that it was most likely taken near where the Rendezvous Sports Bar & Grill is today (1) at Jefferson Avenue and Scanlon Way. Using Google Earth technology, below, we found that two homes in the old photo, just below the school building off Washington Avenue, appear to still be standing (2). And the Google Earth image above shows the empty lot where the school building was (3). Our in-house car expert dates the automobile in the old photo to around 1920. Thanks to everyone for the input.
