SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Saving St. Anthony Falls
DESCRIPTION:In 1876\, the Corps of Engineers finished a massive concrete wall under the Mississippi River at St. Anthony Falls. It stands three stories tall and spans the river. It is an essential piece of Twin Cities infrastructure that no one can see and few know exists. It safeguards Minneapolis’ water supply and helps ensure the river doesn’t undermine bridges or other infrastructure. No one has inspected it for 145 years and no one accepts ownership.  How much longer will it last? Retired Park Superintendent John Anfinson of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area will share his concerns for this critical piece of our local infrastructure. \nUpdate: Due to COVID-19 restrictions\, this talk will be held exclusively on Zoom. E-mail contact@lindenhillshistory.org for further information.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] George Elmslie: In the Shadow of Louis Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Join the Linden Hills History Study Group to hear Richard Kronick tell the story of George Elmslie\, chief draftsman from 1895 to 1909 for Louis Sullivan\, Chicago’s leading architect. Sullivan was dubbed “Prophet of Modernism\,” but Richard will show that\, for eight well-known buildings that came out of Sullivan’s office\, most of the credit belongs to George Elmslie. After leaving Sullivan in 1910\, Elmslie moved to Minnesota and joined the practice of William Purcell and George Feick\, Jr. Meanwhile\, as Sullivan’s fame grew\, Elmslie’s contribution became an inconvenient truth and was nearly erased from history.  \nWe will host Richard’s talk virtually through Zoom. We will send all who are on the LHHSG email list a link to join the Zoom session for December 7 at 7:00 p.m. If we do not have your email address\, please call 612-926-0646 or email contact@lindenhillshistory.org so that you can participate. \nRichard will present this talk in the 1911 Oscar and Katherine Owre house in Minneapolis\, designed by Purcell\, Feick & Elmslie\, and the presentation will include a brief tour of the house. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Antisemitism in Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Minneapolis Jews\, like their African-American and Japanese-American fellow residents\, faced serious discrimination and social exclusion in employment\, housing\, and some public accommodations. Indeed\, one of the leading investigative journalists and essayists of the era\, Carey McWilliams\, noted in his Common Ground article “Minneapolis: The Curious Twin” (Autumn 1946)\, “One might even say\, with a measure of justification\, that Minneapolis is the capitol [sic] of anti-Semitism in the United States.” In the next year\, led by Mayor Hubert Humphrey and a wide coalition of groups\, the City Council passed among the first open housing and fair employment ordinances in the country. Steve Hunegs\, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas\, will help us understand the history of antisemitism in Minneapolis. \nWe will host Steve’s talk virtually through Google Meet. We will send all who are on the LHHSG email list a link to join the Google Meet session for November 5 at 7:00 p.m. If we do not have your email address\, please call 612-926-0646 or email contact@lindenhillshistory.org and give us the email address where you’d like the Google Meet link to be sent\, so that you can participate.\nEveryone is welcome.

DESCRIPTION:In 1919\, the Minnesota Legislature recognized women’s right to vote in presidential elections. And in 1920\, after the U.S. Legislature passed the 19th Amendment and two-thirds of the states ratified the amendment\, women gained the right to vote. This right to vote took decades of discussion\, protest\, and persuasion. Historian Linda Lounsbury will examine the Women’s Suffrage Movement\, the Women’s Right to Vote focusing on the local scene\, and leaders including Linden Hills’ Clara Ueland.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Walking Tour: Third Wave of Linden Hills Development
DESCRIPTION:We are in a new era in which any property in the neighborhood is a potential site for new construction\, up to three units per lot. We will view recently-built examples alongside houses from the late 19th century through what was presumed to be the full “build-out” of Linden Hills in the 20th century. What has influenced development and how has the neighborhood’s character evolved? First Wave was initial land claims\, development schemes\, and early residents through self-identity as a community ca. 1902. Second Wave was the subsequently built community described in the 2001 book Down at the Lake. Third Wave precursors overlapped the late Second Wave: Infill of last open lots\, initial tear-downs introducing disparate styles\, and businesses less\nconnected to serving the immediate community. \nThis talk will be conducted via Google Meet.

SUMMARY:[POSTPONED] Wonderland Park
DESCRIPTION:We have received notice that Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is suspending all in-person church activities as of March 14. The building will be closed and all activities suspended through March 27. Thus\, this program has been postponed. \nWe will look at rescheduling when things have settled down. \nIn 1905\, Wonderland Park on East Lake Street was a popular amusement park where the\npeople of Minneapolis could ride one of the world’s finest carousels\, witness amazing\, death-defying acts\, and even tour a display of local premature infants being treated in the new scientific marvel\, an electric incubator. Susan Hunter Weir\, Director of the Friends of the Cemetery\, Pioneers & Soldiers Memorial Cemetery\, will share stories and images about this time in Minneapolis history.

SUMMARY:Minneapolis Reuses the Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Until the 1970s\, large swaths of Minneapolis were devoted to railroad use — depots\, switching yards\, freight houses\, and shop facilities. Much of that has disappeared\, along with the industry that depended on the railroads. Historian Aaron Isaacs takes us on a tour of the city showing what was here before and what has replaced it.

SUMMARY:Twin Cities Hard Boiled
DESCRIPTION:James Eli Shiffer\, author of The King of Skid Row: John Bacich and the Twilight Years of Old Minneapolis\, will visually take us to visit the nucleus of the old Gateway at Hennepin\, Nicollet\, and Washington Avenues. Though office towers\, upscale hotels\, and condos abound here\, imagine this intersection 60 years earlier where you are surrounded by seedy nightclubs\, bars\, and flophouses in such filthy\, decaying structures that the resident vermin left scathing reviews on Yelp; by individuals sprawled on the grass at Gateway Park; or on corners gossiping\, fighting\, and passing around a communal bottle of booze. Now imagine yourself at the Sourdough Bar\, ordering around for your buddies while chatting with barkeep John “Johnny Rex” Bacich\, the subject of our October program and of James Eli Shiffer’s book The King of Skid Row. Join us for a look back at the seamy side of the city!

SUMMARY:Trench Warfare in Midtown Minneapolis: From Railroad to Greenway
DESCRIPTION:Just over a century ago the Minneapolis City Council directed the Milwaukee Railroad Company to construct a trench located just north of Lake Street\, between Hennepin and Cedar Avenues\, and 37 bridges for roads spanning the trench. This provided a grade separation between the railroad and the city’s automobile and streetcar traffic for three miles\, from Hennepin to Cedar Avenues. Learn about the controversies surrounding this major civil works project in the early 1900s\, the trench and corridor transitions from industry to residential use and from rail to bicycle traffic over the last 100 years\, as well as what the future might hold for the Midtown Greenway. The program will be presented by local historians Tom Balcom and Aaron Isaacs.

SUMMARY:Fort Snelling at Bdote: 200 Years of History
DESCRIPTION:Fort Snelling at Bdote background reading list from Linden Hills Public Library \nFor millennia\, the place where the Minnesota River joins the Mississippi has been a crossroads\, a place of strategic power. But that symbolism is complicated. This tour is a powerful reminder that most Minnesotans today are descendants of immigrants\, living on conquered land. \nPeter DeCarlo\, author of Fort Snelling at Bdote\, shares the story of the power of place and its peoples. He introduces us to key people who lived in the area. Their lives demonstrate a complicated story laden with the brutal realities of how people were treated\, government and those chosen as leaders\, and the landscape. \nPeter DeCarlo is a historian whose research centers on the history of colonialism in Minnesota. He works at the Minnesota Historical Society.

SUMMARY:Robert E. Fischer and Sand Souvenirs at Minnehaha Creek
DESCRIPTION:Robert Fischer was the most unusual artist ever inspired by Minnehaha Falls.  From about 1900 until 1940\, he created tens of thousands of delicate sand designs in clear glass containers\, using nothing but the natural colored sands found in Minnehaha Park.  Only a few of these still exist. Fischer lived in the Falls neighborhood for decades\, and also worked as Park Board commissioner\, poet\, patent medicine manufacturer\, and as policeman.  Historian Karen Cooper will tell the story of Robert Fischer\, his sand art\, and his varied careers.  Karen has spent many years revealing Minnehaha Park history and uncovering the stories of the characters who inhabited the area.

SUMMARY:Tracing the History of Real Estate Covenants in Minneapolis
