"French Lake"  
Watercolor by Elizabeth Hood Anderson, painted in 1996
Image size:  20" x 32"

Lantto's Store conducted business from the building shown in the painting from 1909 until 1998 when it moved into a new building across the road. It is located at the intersection of County Roads #3 and #37, French Lake Corner.

Artist Comments:
So many times when I drove past Lantto's Store in French Lake I would say to myself, "I want to paint that store before it goes."  It was such a quaint little old store with creaking uneven wooden floors.  The varnish had worn off the floor decades ago.  The aisles were narrow with a few food items.  But, Chris did sell Red Wing shoes.   There was a small table in one corner of the store that always had one or two retired farmers in their bib over-halls sitting and talking.  It was fun to go there it transported you back in time.
