Morning Forum - Researching Tangletown

This April we have a special bonus Morning Forum for you! Our first Morning Forum looked at Minneapolis alleys, and our second on April 24 will focus on the process three young preservationists underwent to learn more about the unique architecture of the Tangletown neighborhood.

Three Macalester students have been working with Preserve Minneapolis to study a set of buildings in the Tangletown neighborhood of Minneapolis. In particular, they are exploring the history of the Washburn Park Water Tower, the Washburn Orphanage, and the collection of Lustron Houses present in the neighborhood.

This presentation is the first opportunity for these students to share their research with the public, after which point it will be compiled on Preserve Minneapolis' self-guided tour site - Minneapolis Historical (www.minneapolishistorical.org).
