Home Building In Bemidji Progressing At Rapid Stride, Recent Survey Shows Nearly every hamlet, every town and every city is crying for homes, homes, homes and more homes, but in Bemidji they have quit crying and are building them. Not one or two, here and there, not a dozen or two, but several dozen. . For the last five years there has been little building—very little— due largely to abnormal high costs of both labor and material. The drop has come and Bemidji is taking advantage of it. ¢ Men who travel extensively, tell us that Bemidji is doing more home building than any other city of its size in the Northwest. That’s going some. But the reputation of Bemidji is to take the lead Bemidji is ex- pected to take the initiative and Bemidji never disappoints. More than forty new homes are actually unded construction at the present time and counting additions, outbuildings and business blocks, the {igures will run well up to seventy. Because it was hard to believe that Bemidji was actually taking the lead, a representative of the Pioneer made a thorough canvass of the city, up one street and down the other and counted the houses, found out who was building them and secured the location of each. His findings may not be without a flaw. He may have overlooked some, but in the main they are correct. NYMORE BUILDING HOMES Commencing in Nymore, a beautiful semi-bungalow home and new barn has just been completed by Christ Larvick, on Roosevelt avenue. Olaf Risland is constructing a new one-story home immediately south of his present home. R. C. McMichael, who was recently burned out, has gtarted a new home in the block east of the Lincoln school. Mr. McMichael is building the house himself and expects to complete it in two months. Hans Johnson and L. E. Stecle are each building neat homes on Pershing avenue and Fourth street south. In East Bemidji, R .M. Everest, on Lake avenue, is building a comfortable home. Osmond Holt has had built a pretty gemi-hungalow home on the corner of Mill and Lake avenues. Olaf Risland did the work for Mr. Holt. The exterior will be stucco when completed. Mose Letourneau has just completed a building in which he has opened a grocery, confectionery and soft drink business in a block south of E. Akre’s store. A new addition has been built to the Nymore Lutheran church. NEW BEMIDJI HOMES " A characteristic feature of the homes being built in Bemidji is that practically all of them are of the bungalow or semi-bungalow type. There are some very pretty designs which add much (to the general appearance of the streets on which they are being built. Doud avenue is experiencing @ building boom. Between Thirteénth '-and Fourteenth streets on Doud avenue, Kramer brothers are building a’home for Fred B. Walsh. William Budge is moving & house to a foundation next to the Walsh home. The house will be made over into a modern home.. A. O. Hoganson is building a beautiful home at Twelfth and Doud avenue. B. R. Erickson has pur- chased one of the new Amadon homes between Eleventh and Twelfth gtreets on Doud avenue. This house is almost completed ready for occu- pancy. Mr. Amadon has completed ‘a beautiful new stucco bungalow for himself at Twelfth street and Doud avenue. On Thirteenth street, between Bixby and Doud avenues, Mr. Amadon has constructed three homes. J. G. Hartness has purchased the one on the corner of Thirteenth street and Doud avenue. Charles H. Funk, of the Overland Auto company, will be the, owner of the home on the corner of Thirteenth street and Bixby avenue. The home between these two had not been sold when the Pioneer representative made his trip. On Dewey avenue, L. Jamison is adding a substantial two- story addi- f,i'on to the rear of his home. D. S. Mitchell is putting a second story on his home at 32 Tenth street. At 1114 Bemidji avenue, a home built by Mr. Amadon has been purchased by Mr. Stock. This is one of the most hand- come designs being built. MINNESOTA AVENUE BUILDING A large number of homes have been completed or are in process of construction on this avenue north of Tenth street.
