Tripp's Tow Car-"Pig's Ear"-Fred Smith's barn and house. -this note associated with a different print of this image.
The house to the left of the tow truck was owned by Fred Smith and he rented it out. He lived in a house where the Indian Lake Post Office in now, west of this one. John Fish lived in the house in the picture as a little boy, as did many other families. He said there had been a bar downstairs at one time. The house was built perhaps in the 1880s by a Roblee. It was torn down by Ephraim Pelon in about 1930 when A&B Oil Company of North Creek bought the property and later built a gas station there(now John Scott's Indian Lake Petroleum.)
