Our Town Series

We live in an historic house on Main Street at the end of the old brick road. “Our Town” is every town with its Main Street, its old timers and newcomers, and its unique ambience and history. Stanwood, Washington (population 8800) is growing and changing. These paintings are a work of preservation. They are all acrylics on canvas mounted on wood.

Bank Building

On the “old brick road” the First National Bank building was actually Stanwood’s second bank. Located on it was built in 1930. Acrylics on canvas, 19 x 24 in.

Hamilton Lumber I

The lumberyard was established in the 1920’s along with the mill on the river, operated until the 60’s. (Private collection)

Hamilton Lumber II

The white building with its 1920’s architecture, houses the hardware store and the shed is the lumberyard. Acrylics on canvas, 18 x 26 in.

Patty at the Stanwood Cafe

Patty knows that one of us will always order the regular and the other one is not so consistent. Next time the toast should be more well done. Acrylics on canvas, 16 1/2 x 21 1/2 in.

Memorial Day at the Floyd

The Floyd Norgaard Center, a restored meeting hall from the late 1800’s, hosting a Memorial Day observance with the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Acrylics on canvas, 24 x 34 in.

painting of old western hotel and saloon

Stanwood Hotel & Saloon

Built in 1894, the hotel has a rather raucous history as you might expect from what in reality was a frontier town.

The Sons of Norway

Established in 1914, this building was originally next door to our home and studio but was moved across the street to its present location.

Our Saviors Lutheran Church

Dedicated in 1894, it is still used today. The church name was changed from Stillaguamish Norwegian Lutheran Church to Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church of Stanwood .

City Hall

Built in the 1930’s, this art deco building is being remodeled. The painting is in the collection of the city and hangs in the lobby.

Exterior Stanwood Cafe

Chaim was on Stanwood’s Planning Commission for a time and one of the longtime members stopped by Stanwood House with the retired fire chief and identified this diner as a one time drugstore.

Interior Hamilton Lumber Smokestack

Once part of the lumber mill, now a city landmark. The Lion’s Club hoists a lighting decoration for each season atop the stack. The tube is attached to a ring outside which lifts a man to the top.

Viking Self-Service Laundry

More retro than historic, this laundromat is located on the other side of town. Everything is changing and when it’s gone it will be historic.

Touching on Place
