My grandfather liked to use those yucky accordian doors in a lot of his homes. Here, you can close the accordian door (at the left) to make two individual rooms, or keep it open to create one big living space. All of these details are still there today.

This interesting looking place was apparently the old “KC Hall”. It was built by the CCC in the 30s. Someone commented on this post and had the following to say: “This is an old hall built in the 1930’s by the CCC. We are in the process of fixing it up as a day cabin. It was used for dances, 4H, Homemakers, church fairs, etc.”
I can totally see that! cheery community events held here and the CCC building this place - it’s a nice history to imagine!
I found a wonderful article on the history in the town of Huff here. And it mentions this building!
“With drought and a depression striking not just North Dakota, but the entire country, many were forced to give up their homesteads and find work elsewhere. For many, that came in the form of the Works Progress Administration. The area would see some much needed improvements, as well as other areas being preserved for history. While the WPA was busy helping preserve the Huff Indian Historical Site, workers were also building roads and ditches. It was also at this time that the town of Huff would get a welcomed addition; a new dance hall.”
And the article contains more great history. Check this out.
“Taking the name of the previous fort, Fort Rice would soon see an increasing number of settlers coming to the area. One of those individuals was a man by the name of John Huff.
Arriving in Fort Rice in 1888, Huff had filed a claim for a 160 acres of land eight miles north of the town, with the want to homestead that area.
Unlike many other settlers though, Huff’s primary interest wasn’t in farming. Instead, seeing what seemed to be a great opportunity, Huff had learned that the Northern Pacific was planning on building a branch line to Fort Rice.
It wouldn’t be for another two decades that the branch would begin to materialize. Facing both financial problems, as well as set backs in laying track, the progress of the Northern Pacific was often hampered.
For Huff, the postponements would get the better of him. Having built a saloon on his land, he held out hope, but would pass away before it came to realization.”
“Pushing south, under Edward Fogerty, the branch line would begin to form in 1910. Soon, the line would move to the area where Huff had lived, 19 miles southeast of Mandan. The stop that would be created there would be called the 19th siding.
With more individuals settling in the area, a post office was established the next year, on May 12, 1911. Emmeth Dobson would be installed as the Postmaster there, and he would name the place Huff, in honor of the early homesteader.
The town would take off. A large railroad depot was built, and with the town growing rapidly, a school house was also established.
As immigrants continued to pour into the area, Huff would experience a short golden age. Soon buildings were sprouting from the prairie. Huff was no longer just a railroad town.
Serving the community, two elevators, two stores, two cafes, a church, hardware store, lumberyard and blacksmith were constructed. By 1915, when Huff was at its height, the area seemed to be promising. However, the town would never reach a population greater than 60.
Slowly, those who had helped build up the town began passing away, or moving from the area, closing up shop as they did.
In 1920, a landmark of the area would see its final patrons. Built by George Markham in 1902, the first store and cafe would close their doors when Markham moved away. Others would follow.”
So, this incredible place overlooking the river is St.Martin. And the great article on Huff history addresses this place directly. Let’s jump back to when the CCC built that old dance hall…
“This hall would also serve an important purpose in the coming years. In 1940, St. Martin’s Catholic church was struck by lighting, causing it to burn down.”
“Over the next seven years, the hall would become a place of worship for those who suddenly found themselves without a spiritual home. As often was the case though, the town came together, gathering field stones, and in 1947, the newly built church opened its doors. It was the church on the hill. Yet, for those in Huff, it was much more.”

Hijobah Tsosie.(99 years) Born into the Bitter Water People Clan for the Many Goat People clan. Hijobah was a homemaker, sheepherder and rug weaver. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, farming, walking and horseback riding. Thank you for teaching me sheep and goat herding. I remember your hospitality on a particularly cold and blustery Thanksgiving weekend, hauling water up the hill from the Trading Post, tending the fire in your little pot belly stove. Dealing with my limited Dine' (Navajo) language. Caring for your favorite crippled sheep which you tethered to the old pinon tree just outside your door. Telling me stories about the water that used to flow out of the cliffs above you in Old Salina Springs(Tselani) where you now rest. Thank you.

British-born actress Greer Garson (1904-1996) was a very popular Hollywood star during World War II. She epitomized a noble, wise and courageous wife in sleek and sentimental films, often with Walter Pidgeon as her co-star. As one of MGM's major stars of the 1940’s, Garson received seven Academy Award nominations. She won the Oscar for Mrs. Miniver (1942), in which she personified the spirit and virtue of a British homemaker in wartime.

Bristol Indiana BicentennialTorchbearer on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2016: Mary Ann Eisenbeiss. Mary Ann Eisenbeiss isn’t used to the spotlight. She likes to work quietly behind the scenes, as she has done for many years at a number of volunteer activities, such as Mini 4-H and the Elkhart County Extension Homemakers. So, when she received a packet in the mail from about the Bicentennial Torch Relay, she just put it aside. When she got a call from the Elkhart County Visitor’s Bureau to make arrangements for her participation, she soon learned that Emily Haskins, the daughter of a special friend and someone she considered like family, had nominated her to carry the Bicentennial Torch for Bristol. At first, she didn’t know what to say, but she was able to be convinced to accept the honor. A life long resident of Elkhart County, she has lived at her home in Bristol since 1969. Married for 60 years to her husband Dan, she has 2 children, 6 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Mary Ann will be one of the 40 torchbearers for Elkhart County who will carry the torch for a portion of the 54 mile route around the County. Bristol supporters, family and friends are invited to gather along her leg of the route where she will pick up the torch near Gallops Truck Stop at C.R. 20 and 17 at about 9:30am on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Her leg of the relay ends at Beck Dr. off of C.R. 17. Just the Facts: On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, the Bicentennial Torch Relay Starts at 9am at the MyBrook Dairy Farm in Middlebury, arrives in downtown Elkhart at around 11am and continues on to Goshen and Wakarua before ending at Amish Acres in Nappanee at about 2:30pm. Mary Ann’s leg of the relay will begin at about 9:30 near Gallops Truck Stop at the corner of S.R. 20 and C.R. 15. She will take over the torch and ride in her 2017 Subaru down C.R. 20 to C.R. 17, and continue on to Beck Drive, where she will hand over the torch to the next torchbearer.

American actor Van Johnson (1916-2008) was a red-haired, freckle-faced and invariably friendly-looking song-and-dance star in MGM films. In the mid-1940s he emerged as a box office favourite and was second only to heartthrob Frank Sinatra during the 'Bobby-soxer' era. Playing earnest soldiers and boy-next-doors made him a solid box-office attraction while MGM's major stars were off to war.
Van Johnson was born Charles Van Dell Johnson in Newport, Rhode Island in 1916. His father, Charles E. Johnson was a plumber from Sweden and later a real estate salesman. His mother, Loretta Neumann (or Snyder), was a homemaker and had been a dietitian at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She was an alcoholic who abandoned him when he was three. Johnson endured a lonely and unhappy childhood. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "Happier times were spent drifting into the fantasy world of movies, and he developed an ardent passion for entertaining. Taking singing, dancing and violin lessons during his high school years, he disregarded his father's wish to become a lawyer and instead left home following graduation to try his luck in New York." Van made his Broadway debut in 1936 in 'New Faces of 1936, an annual revue that had also introduced Henry Fonda in 1934. Van would appear in a total of seven Broadway shows, including the original cast production of 'Pal Joey' in 1940-1941 In 1942, Van Johnson got a contract with MGM and went to Hollywood. The tall, red-haired actor took advantage of the fact that all established stars were in military service. Johnson was exempt from army service after being injured in a car accident driving with his close friend Keenan Wynn to a screening of Keeper of the Flame (George Cukor, 1942). He had a metal plate placed in his forehead. One of his first roles was as a replacement for Lew Ayres in the hospital film series Dr Kildare alongside Lionel Barrymore. Johnson's breakthrough came with the war film A Guy Named Joe (Victor Fleming, 1943) alongside Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne. Within two years, he rose from small supporting roles in which he often played the "nice young man next door" to one of the ten highest-grossing stars in the film industry. He was known for his red socks and his bobbysoxer popularity was such that he was nicknamed "The Voiceless Sinatra". The studio often placed him alongside June Allyson or Esther Williams in big-screen musicals and romantic films. He first received top billing with the musical Two Girls and a Sailor (Richard Thorpe, 1944) with June Allyson and Gloria DeHaven.
After the end of World War II, the big stars such as Clark Gable, James Stewart and Robert Taylor returned to reclaim their post-war stardom. Van willingly relinquished his "golden boy" pedestal, but he remained a high-profile musical star. He was the partner of Judy Garland in the musical In the Good Old Summertime (Robert Z. Leonard, Buster Keaton, 1949) and was also seen in the musical Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli, 1954) alongside Gene Kelly. He also turned to dramatic films and played such well-known roles as Holley in Battleground (William A. Wellman, 1949), Charles Wills in The Last Time I Saw Paris (Richard Brooks, 1954) starring Elizabeth Taylor, and Lieutenant Steve Maryk in The Caine Mutiny (Edward Dmytryk, 1954) with Humphrey Bogart and José Ferrer. In November 1954, his mother suddenly resurfaced and sued him for nine hundred dollars in monthly support. He fought back, saying she did not help raise him so, although he was willing to give her money, she was not entitled to court-ordered support. It was eventually settled out of court and he agreed to pay her four hundred dollars a month. Johnson played his last leading roles in Hollywood in the 1960s and appeared in several Italian films from the end of the decade. Johnson also made guest appearances in TV series such as Batman (as the minstrel in 2 episodes in 1966), Here's Lucy and The Love Boat and the Miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man (1976), for which he was nominated for an Emmy. He had success in the theatre with the musical 'The Music Man'. In 1985, he made a minor comeback. He starred in the Broadway musical 'La Cage Aux Folles' and had a supporting role in Woody Allen's comedy The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985). His last musical role was as Cap' Andy in 'Show Boat' in 1991. A year later, he played his last cinema role alongside Fred Williamson in the thriller Three Days to a Kill (Fred Williamson, 1992). Johnson was married to Eve Lynn Abbott in 1947, on the day of her divorce from actor Keenan Wynn. The couple produced one daughter, Schuyler V. Johnson (1948) and divorced in 1961. According to Eve in 1999, MGM boss Louis B. Mayer had arranged the marriage to conceal Johnson's homosexuality from the public. He later left her for her male tennis instructor according to her son, Ned Wynn. Van Johnson underwent skin cancer treatment in 1963. He died in 2008 at a senior living facility in Nyack, New York, at 92. He had been one of the last surviving matinee idols of Hollywood's 'golden age'.
