• This photo was taken on Oak Street along side what is now St. Paul the Apostle Church - known until 1966 as St. Joseph's Slovenian Catholic Church. This photo must have been taken sometime between 1904 or 1905 when the exterior of the church building was completed, and 1908 when the new Mineral Range Depot was built. (the roof of the depot behind the church is definitely that of the old gable-roofed wood frame depot, not that of the new hipped-roof brick depot) - Jeremiah Mason
