Dahlberg's Store In 1950

Photograph description

A street-level photograph of Dahlberg’s Store shows the storefront, roadside signs, and mid-century commercial streetscape.

Date or period
Mid-20th century. Legacy page text says circa 1960; the supplied image filename/alt says 1950.
Place
Marine View Drive South at South 222nd Street, Des Moines, Washington
People
Dahlberg family/store operators are not further identified in the current web sources reviewed.

Historical context

The store was later replaced by a Coast-to-Coast hardware store, which became Des Moines Hardware. The two date labels in the legacy file conflict, so the revised page does not choose one without a catalog check.

Research note: Catalog review recommended: resolve 1950 versus circa-1960 date metadata.

Research references

Historical identifications are stated only where supported by the existing DMHS collection or corroborating research. Unresolved dates, names, and locations are identified as such rather than inferred from appearance alone.
