Shopping in Los Alamos

10/20/2020

2 Comments

 
On Facebook we went #InsideTheArchives to explore some of the history of Los Alamos retail. Click through to explore historic photos and artifacts from businesses and shopping in the past.
Proprietors George Hillhouse and Henry Martin are dressed in baker's clothing and stand behind a counter filled with baked goods. Mrs. Henry Martin stands behind the cash register which is to the left of another pastry filled counter. A tall shelf filled with goods stands in the far corner and holds a telephone. Mirrors behind Mrs. Martin produce the reflections of the two men.

Living and Working in Fuller Lodge

10/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Here's another #InsideTheArchives post from our Facebook page, this one focusing on people whose lives intersected with Fuller Lodge: the waitresses of The Lodge hotel. In our society it is rare to live and work in the same location (although this is now the case for many us during this time of COVID-19). The Lodge had a restaurant and bar which served meals to its guests. The waitresses who served the meals for The Lodge lived there as well. There is even some mystery involved because we have conflicting sources about where the staff bedrooms were located in Fuller Lodge.

Intern Learns About Los Alamos and the Cold War

9/13/2018

By KALLIE FUNK
Los Alamos Historical Society Intern
I was born and raised in Los Alamos. My mom was as well, so I have always thought I knew everything there was to know about Los Alamos and its history.

However, after I accepted a research internship at the Los Alamos Historical Society earlier this year, I quickly discovered that was not the case.  My research for the Historical Society has been concentrated on Los Alamos during the Cold War.  That era makes up more than half of our community’s post–World War II history, and a great deal of the Los Alamos we know today developed during that time.
