Council Bluffs Changing Scene--Back in 1918, when the United States was at war with Germany, Locust Lodge looked like this. The lonely home was occupied by John Gebuhr, who owns the photograph. At that time, a crushed brick street passed his home and led to the hill at far right. Gebuhr recalls when the building at far left was under suspicion by the revenue men. he said, "Right around [19??] during the prohibition days, the revenue men discovered it housed a distillery and they raided it." Note the hill at the far right and also that only a few trees were growing at this time.
