Description

Buildings, bridges, and a lot more―these are the treasures in or near Minneapolis parks which might be rarely given attention. This book diverts the reader from the traditional park elements of lakes, woods, streams, and playfields and focuses as an alternative at the wealthy architectural components they offer. Buildings range from the 160-year-old Godfrey house, believed to be the oldest standing house in Minneapolis, to the recently completed shelters within the Wabun picnic area at Minnehaha Park. Many architects, from Stanford White to Harry Jones to Frank Gehry, have left their marks either on parkland or around the street. A few of their notables are presented on this book. One of the popular icons of Minneapolis, the Lake Harriet Bandstand, with a long list of predecessors and once painted blue, rounds out this presentation.
