Comments

Former home of Walter & Gladys Mortensen, my parents. We moved here after my parents sold their 160 acre farm in Blaine (former Adolph Tillong farm). This house had been built by my father and his brothers, Harry & Arthur Mortensen in 1948 on the original Mortensen farm located at 7550 Old Central Ave. N.E. in Fridley, MN. It was moved along with the remaining farm buildings from Fridley to Ham Lake in 1964. This was a fortunate move since one of the tornadoes that tore through Fridley on May 5, 1965 came through the original farmyard in Fridley the following year. Located at 13507 Raddison Rd. N.E.
