Downtown Crookston: Majestic tree gets some love

Tana Hultgren has worked on South Main in downtown Crookston for years, and has seen the tree day after day as she’s gone to and from work at Widseth Smith Nolting & Associates (now Widseth).
Recently, she took a picture of the majestic conifer standing tall at the site of the former Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home near the South Main bridge. (The funeral home, after moving to a new location, was renovated into apartments.)
Hultgren then sent the photo to the Times, with a request. “I wanted to ask about putting a little bleep in the paper someday about the tree on the corner of the old Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home corner,” she wrote in an email. “It looks old and I’m surprised it’s held up with all the wind and weather. It’s really quite majestic, I think.”
