Mads Andersen Home

Photograph of a homestead in Danevang, Texas, belonging to Mads Andersen. Across a narrow body of water in the foreground, various plants and bushes surround the main property off to the left in the back. It is a two-story structure with intersecting gable roofs and a balcony on the second floor bordered by post railings. This same balcony creates an overhang for a first floor entrance. A thick blanket of snow covers the property.

[Reverend Eric Moller and Pastor Dan Laudedale]

Photograph of Reverend Eric Moller and Pastor Dan Lauderdale at Pastor Dan's farewell party. They are standing in front of a table, on which a folded piece of paper has been opened. Two small Danish flags emerge from the bottom left corner. Reverend Eric is standing on the left smiling toothily. He wears a two-piece gray suit and striped tie. To the right is Pastor Dan Lauderdale, who holds his hands behind his back and restrains a smile. He wears a dark blue shirt and dark pants. Hand-written text on the back of the photograph indicates that the photograph was taken at "Com. Hall", perhaps an abbreviation for Community Hall.

A. Longwood Home

Photograph of the A. Longwood farmstead property in Danevang, Texas. A dirt path in the foreground leads up to the main structure, a two-story house with white siding, intersecting gable roofs with light gray shingles, and double-hung windows on the first and second floors. A parked car is to the left underneath a tree. To the right, there is a red mechanical plow, and behind it, what appears to be an outbuilding. A white sticker placed on the front of the photograph indicates that it is "now Fred Swendsen rent house."
