In 1961 construction was booming in Minot.
Two shopping centers were under construction, Arrowhead and Oak Park Shopping
Center. Town & Country Shopping Center would not be built for another
couple years. A new science building was
under construction at Minot State Teachers College as well as the Student
Union. A new Junior High School was being built on the Washington Golf Course,
(Jim Hill) and more school construction at the Minot Air Force Base. The new
Post Office was taking shape, (the Post Office as we know it now.) A new
hospital wing was nearing completion on St Joe’s Hospital which would bring
them to over 200 beds. To add to the hotel rooms the International Inn was
under construction, as well as the Sandman Motel, The Thunderbird and Gordon’s
Holiday Spot was adding 40 rooms. AND … The park board was expecting the first
nine holes of the Souris Valley Golf Course to open.
