• The front of this building was facing 7th St. The other side in view was along Scott St.

• This building stood on the Northeast corner of Portland and 7th Street in Calumet. Sanborn fire insurance maps first note the building on page 4 of the December 1897 map for Red Jacket (it does not appear on the previous map done in September 1893). It is labeled as Salvation Army" in the Red Jacket maps for December 1897, September 1900, and May 1908. On the July 1917 Red Jacket map, it is labeled as "Salvation Army Barracks," but on the August 1928 map for Calumet it is labeled "Salvation Army Hall." The building does not appear on the July 1942 revised map for Calumet. There are also references to a "Swedish Salvation Army" building located on the East side of 5th Street (between Elm and Pine) on the September 1900 and May 1908 Sanborn maps for Red Jacket."

• It almost appears that the building is in disuse at the time of this photograph. The front doors look worn (and maybe open?) and the rainbow windows on the lower level appear to have some panes broken or missing.
