Up for offeris a vintage circa 1907 Real Photo Postcard of Main Street at Wheelock, ND aGhost Town in Williams CO NE of Williston. From Wiki:
“Wheelock isa ghost town in Wheelock Township, Williams County, in the northwestern part ofthe U.S. state of North Dakota. In 1938, the Federal Writers\' Project found apopulation of 115 in Wheelock. [1] In the 1990 census, the population was 23.The town was dis-incorporated in 1994, [2] and now is reverting to the elements.
Wheelock wasfounded in 1902 along the transcontinental rail line of the Great NorthernRailway. The name comes from Ralph W. Wheelock, an editorial writer with theMinneapolis Tribune who wrote favorably about the site. [3]
Unlike someghost towns, Wheelock\'s homes, churches, and commercial buildings have the lookof just recently being occupied. The paint is peeling, but it is still there.The grass is green, although it is not mowed. The roof of the two-story brickschoolhouse has caved in, carrying with it the back wall and exposing the fourclassrooms and the gymnasium roof girder. The town garage stands empty. Ahandful of commercial buildings and the church appear almost as if they couldbe occupied—but are unoccupied and deteriorating. The railroad track, now ownedby BNSF Railway, still runs through town. Wheelock remains the location of apassing siding. [4] The grain elevator stands empty by the tracks. The generalstore burned down in 2005.”
