This is probably from around 1910 or so because the old water tower is still there. The original Kirks’ store is the white building on the left behind the two-story house. The town was located where Rat Creek met the Row River. Of course, all of this land is under Dorena Lake now.
I lived in an old house on Cerro Gordo when I was born in 1955. Was told it was an old stage coach stop. It burnt down maybe in the 80’s. Looking for pictures and information about the house.
