{"product_id":"nyholm-is-my-home-31945","title":"Nyholm is My Home #31945","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Nyholm ordered it out of a catalogue in 1902. It is still standing — and in 2024 the city bought it for $125.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNyholm left Denmark in 1888, twenty-seven years old, and was in Tacoma by 1890. He cleared forty acres of what would become Edgewood, and in 1900 he was central to getting the first telephone line run out from Tacoma to serve his neighbours. Two years after that he put up the windmill — four storeys, ordered from a Sears, Roebuck catalogue and built on his own land. A several-hundred-gallon tank on the top floor piped water to the houses around it. The second floor he kept as a workshop, where he did his wood carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pumped water for seventy-eight years. When it finally stopped in 1980 it was facing demolition, so Don Nelson got a crew of volunteers together and moved the whole four-storey thing a short way south down Meridian instead, onto the ground beside the fire department at 2284 Meridian Avenue East. They did it on a Saturday morning, 24 August 1980, and the town came out to watch it go by. It became the first thing Edgewood ever formally treated as a piece of its own history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a coda worth knowing. In May 2024 Nelson’s nonprofit offered to sell the windmill to the City of Edgewood, so that its future would be settled for good. He opened at one dollar. The city talked him \u003cem\u003eup\u003c\/em\u003e — to $125, so the price would match what Peter Nyholm paid Sears for it in 1902.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo when this shirt says Nyholm is my home, that is what it means. Not a street or a subdivision — a Danish homesteader’s mail-order windmill that a town refused to let go of, twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere is a second Nyholm design\u003c\/em\u003e — a full-colour winter scene of the windmill under snow, printed direct to garment on sand. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/edgewood-nyholm-windmill-40749\"\u003eEdgewood Nyholm Windmill\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne design, t-shirt or hoodie.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pick your style, size and color above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT-shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sand, 5.4 oz cotton — 100% cotton in solid colours, cotton\/poly blend in the heathers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoodie\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sand, heavyweight 50\/50 blend, hooded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes S through 4XL — every size, every style, always in stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted to order at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nwcustomapparel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNorthwest Custom Apparel\u003c\/a\u003e in Milton, WA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily owned and operated since 1977\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed shirts for your company, school or team?
