I am a descendent from this Ochs Family. A.C.Ochs had 12 living sibling’s. His Brother Louis Robert Ochs was my grandfather. A C Ochs Founded the A.C. Ochs Brick company. Louis Robert Ochs died at the age of 53, 54. Leaving a wife and nine children behind. My dad was born in 1915 and his dad died when he was 14.

Did they have any kind of screening to keep rats and other pests from entering the building through the holes in the block? Here in NC I have my Grandad's Corn Crib and Wheat House. Both buildings are totally lined inside with 1/4" hardware cloth.
@lynwessel247124 күн бұрын
There were a few round concrete cribs in MN that had small expanded metal over the holes, otherwise I've never seen corncribs with screening. Farms had lots of cats back then and they weren't fed Fancy Feast. Rodent control was their job.

I last visited in summer of 21, it was heartbreaking to see the school abandoned like that; a few people were using the tennis courts at the time so at least a few tax payers were still getting the last of their value out of the facility. Was able to peek into the commons area and the lunch room where so many memories were made; both at lunch and at the dances! So sad. 😢

The hill is a great place to watch 4th fireworks, not sure if the new owners will allow that going forward. The drive up the hill on cold winter mornings is AMAZING. the sunrise glowing through the fog off Lake Superior was always a nice start to the school day during dreary winter months.

The whole school board and superintendent should have been thrown behind bars for defrauding Duluth tax payers of $300M, and closing down school buildings so they could give sweetheart deals to their close buddies at Johnson controls. It is a crime what happened to the facilities, they SHOULD have been repurposed for community use but instead were sold at a loss to developers for shiny new condos. Again, the board and superintendent should be behind bars for what they did to Duluth tax payers. At least Old Central is on the historic register so the developers who got it for a song can’t tear it down completely.

During the last CENTURY I actually rode the passenger car and had a ticket. The nice Conductor made sure to get me off at the Brainerd Station where I would meet my Auntie or Grandma. Even though I was only 9 I was old enough to ride without an adult. Made me feel great. Riding with friends that worked on the train who always knew MY Great Grandfather had died in 1917 explosion that took out the ROUND HOUSE

Around 1958-'59, when I was a little kid, I had a pair of bibs with a Milwaukee Road patch on them. I loved them and was very sad when I outgrew them. My Grandpa, an uncle and a great uncle all worked for the Burlington at the time. My folks would put me on the Zephyr at the station in the cities and I would ride by myself down to visit my grandparents in Illinois (starting when I was 7 years old, how times have changed!) I came back on the Zephyr through the great flood of 1965, what a sight! Thanks for this awesome video, I enjoy all your work but the train stuff has a special place in my heart..

Parts of this property have been reused. Its a big place. The tunnels from the building I work in to the main building have been closed off but its were we go for tornados. Both my grandparents worked and retired from there. When you see the photos of the interactions between the community and the patients the images of the cages and bars become a little less realistic.
