A crowd listens to former U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt give a speech from the rear of a train in Rushmore or Org in Nobles County, Minnesota. Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States and served from 1901 to 1909.
Theodore Roosevelt gives a speech from the back of a train during a whistle stop in Faribault. The Rock Island train depot station is partly visible on the left side. Writing on the back of the photo reads: "Ted Roosevelt's train at the Rock Island depot. Many of the deaf stood here." It is known that Theodore Roosevelt ran for President again in 1912 and made a whistle stop in nearby Northfield, so this photo may be from the same year.

The New Brighton Town Hall was built in 1898. Although planned as early as 1891, it took seven years to finish the project. It held the police department, government offices, and social events which were held in the upstairs auditorium. It was razed in the mid-1950s.
The view of the New Brighton Town Hall contrasts in size with the small shoemaker shop to its south. To the north is the Treat Building and a portion of the Marston Block. On the top of the hall was a flag pole which was on top of the large bell steeple on the left of the building. The bell was rung whenever there was a a fire. The fire engine was housed on the main floor of the building. The bell would also ring at nine o'clock when all the children had to be off the street.
