Inscription
Cottle residence, with store showing at left. Only a small part of the house shows in this photo, taken from a corner. There were eight rooms and a bathroom in the house in the beginning, with furniture selected by Frank Cottle on a trip to Chicago. At right, beside the traditional woodshed, is a bell tower supporting a large iron bell, which summoned the men to meals from the far reaches of the ranch. It could be heard for a mile. In later years, this became a school bell. (Repro. From orig.)
