Monti Hall, Monti, Iowa

My grandparents, Edwin & Emma (BeBee) Mc Graw, owned the farm across from the Town Hall as well as, I Believe, the general store.

Hi Denise,
Did you spend time at this property while you were growing up? Are all the buildings in this photo still there today?

Hello Alexis.
My grandparents had moved off of this property (the house on the SW corner of the intersection) and my grandfather died before I was born.
I was able to visit this site a couple of times as a child, before the house and store across the road were demolished. This past weekend I attended the funeral of my aunt in the hall and the church. I think the hall had burned and was rebuilt, but the church remains much the same.
I did share this so perhaps we will see more activity =)
