Last week we shared this photo with you:
Several Doppler readers correctly guessed that this welcome arch was in Huntsville’s west end ca. 1940.
David Johns filled in a few more details: “Central Garage on the left. The Ferguson Highway still in use making a right turn just west of the Arch.”
And Michael O’Mara offered up a very precise and tongue-in-cheek guess at the date: “the west end 1948 june 25, 3:22 p.m. I think it was a Thursday.”
Correction the name of the area Interlocken was named by the 2nd owner Mr. Gordon Hill in the 1930’s prior the RNAF taking it over.
1st owner was Mr.Peelar who was an area pioneer farmer.
Vesle Skaugum means a home or place in the woods in Norwegian.
Yes Bob you are right!
Vesle Skaugum was the name.
Interlocken was the area all named by the Norwegians while our local fathers were away overseas…lol!
The pic is actually taken from the Oxbow side!
I believe that is the swim platform on Dotty Lake with Camp Olympia in the background.
So those are probably Norwegian pilots in training during the 2nd world war.
