Toby and Cheryl Welch
105 Eugene Ave
This 2200 square foot home built in 1960 was one of the first in what
is known as the "'Kensington" neighborhood. Panoramic views of the
river are visible from large windows in every western facing room of the
one story home. The stmrooln/family rooln or "anilnal room" as it is
often rclbrred keeps one of Toby'g bears and other friendly trophies. An-
other bearskin nearly covers a wall in Toby's office.
Besides fhvorites prints by Terry Redlin, the Welch's m!joyment of
orld travel is apparent to the visitor. Their memories of Budapest,
Venice, Paris and New York City hang about their home along
e works of Grandma Welch.
Harlan and Carrie Larson
523 Briggs Avenue
They call it American Super Classic Salute (ASCS). What could have
silnply been a storage building has become a mini display of classic cars,
bikes and motor melnorabilia plus a classy 2000 plus square foot apart-
ment. The cement block 50 by 146 foot building was originally opened
in 1961 to house the USDA's county Agricultural Stabilization and Con-
servation Service (ASCS) office.
From a pahn tree to a mounted bison head. the Walls of the display area
reflect Larson's interest in cars, hunting and fishing, eclectic art, North
Dakota sports and Park River history including a mini wall of.throe of
photos fiom the city's past. Park River natives, the Larsons spent their
adult careers in southern California. Transfom]ed from stark offices the
spacious two-three bedroom apartlnent is decorated in shadesof brown
and cream.
Refreshments will be ser ,ed here.
