Barbershop

Barbershop

This original barbershop was used by barber Harold Bitzer for 50 years in Tolstoy, SD, before being moved to Prairie Village for its barbershop.  Many of the furnishings in the shop belonged to Mr. Bitzer, who had them arranged in much the same fashion in Tolstoy. (information taken from Prairie Village Map and Guide)

South Dakota
Tolstoy is located just Northeast of the capital of South Dakota.
