Ore of Yore: 1941
August 1941. "Children of old Hibbing, Minnesota, the part of town which is gradually being torn down as mining operations expand, sell pieces of ore and iron range souvenirs to tourists." Acetate negative by John Vachon for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Long term move
Moving this part of the town began in 1918 but wasn't finished until the mid 1950s. The photos of them moving really BIG buildings are amazing.

Postcards from the edge
Litigation arising from the City Council's decision to allow the mining company to devour a chunk of Hibbing brought about some interesting case law from the Minnesota Supreme Court. If they took your house, or the road in front of your house, you were constitutionally entitled to payment, but not if they only took the road to the road in front of your house.

Industrious boys for sure. I wonder where their dreams took them.
