This photo was snapped from the top of the Douglass House about 7 p.m. Shown in the forefront is the Methodist Church, dark and somewhat shadowed by the sinking sun. Toward the top of the picture is St. Ignatius church which is almost obscured by the intensity of the sun making the steeple almost merge with the sky. It is interesting to note that the Methodist Church was built in 1893 and rebuilt in 1925 following a fire. St. Ignatius was constructed in 1898 and completely finished and dedicated in 1902. Both witnessed the effects of Portage Entry sandstone. [Elevated view of both buildings.]

Shelden Avenue, Houghton is once again in gay holiday trim. The work of decorating the main thoroughfare for the Christmas shopping season was completed late last week in wet weather and presented this picture when the sun appeared Monday. The holiday season will be enhanced when the colorful lights on these decorations will glow for the first time. The camera points eastward from near Bridge Street. [A crowded downtown area is shown. Several businesses are visible such as Togo's, a Mobile gas station, Wylie Loans and the Carpet Mart. Just the dome of the Douglass House can be seen.]

Houghton's new Longshot Bar is a marvel to behold emphasizing the western, barn and rustic type atmopsheres. The new establishment employs 12 persons in the realm of bar tenders, waitresses and music instrument operators. According to Manager Don Meyers, the business is excellent and the place only had its formal opening Wednesday. It is located one block east of the Douglass House and the management now is thinking of furnishing cold sandwiches to its patrons. It operates a Lounge Room where patrons may analyzse athletic contests and stress the happenings of the community. The Longshot can look back more than a century, to the former Miller Hotel on Shelden Avenue. The photo shows the bar to the right and the Lounge Room, left.

Probably the most noted hockey figure in the North American continent confines today is Fred (Cyclone) Taylor, the onetime member of the Portage Lake squad who now resides in Vancouver, B.C. Cyc arrived in the Copper Country via air from Grand Forks, N.D. and immediately took rooms at the Douglass House which he well knew when he played with the Portagers of 1905-06. Here is Sir Fred Taylor with his favorite pose for photographers. The scene is the Huskie Long Room in the Douglass House Thursday evening at 11:05 p.m. Taylor is a member of the Canadian Hall of Fame, Toronto, and played a hand in the movement to have Doc. J. L. Gibson be named as a cherished player in both the Canadian and U.S. Halls of Fame. [Head and shoulders photo of a dapper Cyclone Taylor.]
