The Dold brothers Warehouse now serves as a residence,
June, 2006, Kathy Weiser.
From late
1821, when William Becknell left Franklin,
Missouri,
with pack animals weighed down with American goods and headed for the
exciting yet dangerous border town of
Santa Fe,
until 1880, when the first locomotive followed, warehouses and supply
stores were much in demand
along the
Santa
Fe Trail. M. R. Whiteman built this house as a freighting depot
for the Andres Daws stage line. It was later used by the Dold Brothers
(also spelled Dahl), who operated a freight line between
Missouri
and Las Vegas,
New Mexico .
In 1861 it became a Trading Post and Indian
Agency and
served as a commissary for Lucien
Maxwell.
