Ortonville #2


These next three pictures were taken 40 years later (1967) and shows the home R.Z. built for his family however the current owners had added the porch and adjoining building at left.
The name Ortonville came into being since it was located at one of the stops on the local commuter train route heading Westward out of Des Moines. Other than the circus winter quarters and a general store, there was little else.

This kind of looks like the building I grew up in.
