Two of the tent buildings on First Street across from the railroad station in Gypsum [circa 1900]. The first buildings providing services to railroad employees had wooden platforms with tent structures on top and sometimes a false front. Many of the buildings housed saloons and, in this photo, even a bank/saloon combination.

The Gypsum Valley Grocery on Railroad Avenue was the original Lundgren Store. Adolph Lundgren immigrated from Sweden in 1907 and started the store in 1912. After Adloph died in 1916, wife Anna and daughter Minnie Lundgren continued the store. In 1920, George Beale became a partner and the name changed to "Beale and Lundgren." In 1930, Beale left and it was operated by Minnie and her brother Elmer.
