Additional Information: | This small, frame, Front Gable shed is clad with horizontal boards set slightly apart, leaving a space that allows air to enter. It appears to date to ca. 1938.
The farmstead is currently owned by the Solberg Family. Andrew Lindas owned the farm, then 160 acres, in 1888. In 1915, it was owned by O.A. Honaas and had increased to 200 acres. As late as 1959, it remained in the Honaas family. It is likely that the ca. 1900 house, its addition, the large barn, and several of the other outbuildings were erected for the Honaas family. The Honaas family operated the property as a dairy farm. Loran Solberg bought it in 1984. It is no longer being used as a dairy farm though they do still farm the surrounding fields. |
