Telluride's Finn Town
On the Southside of W. Pacific Ave. is Finn Town Flats (originally a boardinghouse), Finn Hall and the smaller Swede Finn Hall (now the Elks Lodge). The two halls were the center of social life for Finnish immigrants. During parties and gatherings, each family brought food, a band played and people danced and socialized.
