Hoffmann's Sandy Market - 1909

This photo of Ludwig and Augusta Hoffmann with their 12 children was taken on the 4th of July, 1912. Aside from the removal of the awning the building remains unchanged.

Ludwig constructed this building for his new business, the Sandy Meat Market. The attached house next door was also built by Ludwig, where he and his family lived. With horse-drawn wagons he delivered to homes, sawmills and the many camps in the outlying areas. The business flourished and began to include grocery items. In the 1920s he added trucks to the fleet and the delivery area expanded clear to Maupin, 75 miles of rough road to the other side of Mt. Hood.
