"This strangely-placed house is one of the pranks played by a cyclone
that almost destroyed the little town of St. Charles, Minn., U.S.A., on
October 6th, 1903. The building was carried from the hill, which may be
seen in the left-hand corner of the photo., for the distance of half a
mile. At the time the storm picked it up it was occupied by Mrs. Edward
Drew and two children, who escaped uninjured. The house itself was
practically undamaged, though left in the topsy-turvy condition shown
here."--Mr. Geo. E. Luxton, 3,220, Third Avenue, Minn.
