The Windsor Hotel was on the
corner of 1st St and 1st Ave. SE. This is where the old
YMCA was located. The Scandinavian Hotel was on the east side of the block
on1st Avenue, just east of the Blue Rider Bar. The original Soo Line Depot was
across the street, on Third Street SE. When the early settlers arrived at the
Soo Line Depot, they would see they Scandinavian Hotel. Most if not all of the
Scandinavian languages were spoken here. Many of the early pioneers in the
northwestern part of the state arrived at the Soo Line depot and may have
stayed at the Scandinavian Hotel. Eventually the Scandinavain Hotel was
demolished to make room for an expansion on the Windsor Hotel.
