"The town of Norma, North Dakota, picture taken in 1913, 3 years after Jens and Ingeborg Christensen left the area, and moved their family back to Minnesota.

It's on the left side of the road." The photo is a picture of main street with other buildings which appear to be houses in background. Several model T cars parked in the foreground.
