2015 CLG Report
7. The HPB's annual summer tour - Adath Yeshurun Cemetery, 5605 France Avenue, established
in 1888 led by HPB member Peter Sussman.
8. HPB member Peter Sussman attended the 2015 AASLH Conference in Little Falls, MN on
September 17th - 18th.
Continued to 2016 Activities:
• Wooddale Bridge - MnDOT #90646; SHP° #HE-EDC-633, at Wooddale Avenue over
Minnehaha Creek - A single-span stone and steel culvert built in 1937 as a Works Progress
Administration (WPA) federal relief project was determined eligible for local landmark
designation in 2008 because of its design characteristics and association with the WPA. In 2014,
the bridge was accepted for a National Register study under the supervision of Mn DOT CRU.
MnDOT suggested that the National Register listing be completed prior to the city pursuing
local landmark designation. The HPB has been waiting for a National Register report from
MnDOT CRU prior to pursuing local landmark designation. However, due to the lack of
response from MnDOT, the HPB has added the local designation of the bridge to their 2016
work plan.
• The HPB identified completing a heritage resource disaster management plan (DMP) in their
2014/2015 work plan. To engage the city's emergency management team with the goals of the
DMP it was determined that the city's historic resources should be included on the city's data
management system, and protocol should be provided to ensure that in the event of an
emergency, the historic resources are known to the emergency responders. Will work toward
integrating the plan with the city's electronic property management system under the direction
of the public safety department (fire/police).
• The "Explore the History of Your Home" created in response to inquiries received from the
public regarding the history of homes in the community had been working toward providing
opportunities to engage the public in the research and discovery process. Of particular interest
to the HPB was the web site www.placeography.com which functions like a Wikipedia site,
allowing for public participation in documenting the history of properties in a community. The
committee took a short hiatus, but has targeted late 2015 to commence their work.
2016 Work Plan a (proposed pending City Council Approval) Attached as Exhibit "D".
Prepared by: Joyce Repya, Senior Planner and Staff Liaison to the Heritage Preservation Board.

The properties listed above have been officially rezoned by the City Council upon nomination by the

Determined Eligible for Landmark Designation: (Heritage Award winners = *)
Eligibility for landmark designation places no restriction on the property owner, but would put some
limits on the government's ability to do projects that impact the property.
By ordinance, the HPB has sole responsibility for nominating properties for designation as Edina
Heritage Landmarks. The first step in the nomination process is the HPB Determination of Eligibility,
which is a policy statement that in the opinion of the Board a given property meets one or the Heritage
Landmark eligibility criteria by being associated with an important historic context and by retaining
historic integrity of those features necessary to convey its significance. The next step is to prepare a

2015 CIG Report
New Properties Added to the Determined Eligible for Landmark Designation List in 2015:
I. Arthur Erickson House, 5501 Londonderry Road
The historic Arthur Erickson House, constructed in 1950, is a large, one-story, wood and stone Ranch
style residence characterized by its asymmetrical massing and low-pitch roof. Built in 1950 for one of
the founders of the Erickson Brothers Oil Company (now part of Holiday Companies), it was designed
by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr. of Los Angeles. The property is in an excellent state of preservation.
Contextually, the Erickson House is architecturally significant under Criterion C as an outstanding
example of Midcentury Modern residential architecture. It reflects the broad pattern of postwar
suburban development in Edina and embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Ranch style.
Secondarily, it represents the work of Lloyd Wright (1890-1978), who is considered a master builder by
architectural historians.
2. Foursquare House, 4247 Grimes Avenue
This historic house is a two-story, frame, stucco clad building with a pyramidal hip roof and an
enclosed front porch. Built in 1914, it is classified as an example of the vernacular American
Foursquare house type. The house occupies a standard size residential lot in the Morningside
neighborhood and is in a good state of preservation.
Contextually, the house is significant under Criterion A as a well preserved specimen of the
vernacular American Foursquare house type associated with the broad pattern of early suburban
development in the Morningside neighborhood. Historic integrity is good and it clearly
possesses the defined characteristics required to strongly represent the historic context.
3. Johnson House, 4300 France Avenue
The Johnson House is a one and one-half story, frame, gable-front house with a full-width front
porch and a detached two-car garage. Classified as an example of early twentieth-century
vernacular cottage architecture, the house was constructed in 1905. In its design and materials, it
resembles contemporary bungalows and incorporates some decorative detailing derived from the
Arts and Crafts movement. The house has been altered from its as-built appearance but the
facade retains much of its original character.
Evaluated in the perspective of the local historic context "Morningside: Edina's Streetcar
Suburb, 1905-1935," the Johnson House is historically significant under Criterion A. Its heritage
preservation value is wholly the product of its association with the broad pattern of early
suburban development in the Morningside neighborhood. Architecturally, it embodies the
distinctive characteristics of the vernacular front gable cottage property type, illustrating the
transition in suburban housing from traditional cottage forms to Arts and Crafts influenced
bungalow designs.
4. Millpond Cascade -Minnehaha Creek - North of Highway 100
The Mill Pond Cascade is a water control structure located at the bend of Minnehaha
Creek a short distance upstream from the Browndale Bridge within the Mill Pond. Built in 1934,
The reinforced concrete structure was originally designed to supply groundwater to the Mill pond
from a 400-foot well, part of an urban waterway reclamation project sponsored by the Village of
Edina in partnership with the U.S. Civil Works Administration (the predecessor of the Works
Progress Administration or WPA). The well has been capped and the cascade no longer

Edina Heritage Preservation Board Exhibit B
2015 CLG Report
functions as a water control structure. It is, however, in a very good state of preservation and is
an established and well known visual feature of the historic Mill Pond in Minnehaha Creek.
Evaluated in the perspective of the local historic context "Minnehaha Creek:
From Wilderness Stream to Urban Waterway," the Cascade is historically significant for its
associative value under Criterion A in the areas of engineering and conservation. It is one of very
few surviving examples of New Deal era water conservation engineering in Edina. Although
no longer function, the cascade is in good condition and includes all of its basic structural
elements. It is categorized as a designed historic landscape feature.
5. Schaefer House & Stable, 5117 Schaefer Road
The historic Schaefer House is a two story single-family dwelling built in 1936. It has stone
walls and a gable roof. It shares a 2.36 acre lot with a guest house, originally constructed in
1932 as a horse stable. The house and guest house have been altered somewhat from their
original appearance but retain their essential historic character.
Evaluated in the perspective of the local historic context "Midcentury Modern Architecture and
Landscapes, 1935 to 1975," the property is historically significant under Criterion A for its
association with the broad patterns of neighborhood history and suburban development. The
house has not lost any of its basic historic character defining design elements.
6. Paul & Mary Carson House - "Maryhill", 6001 Pine Grove Road
The historic Carson House is a two-story, frame house with a modified rectangular plan, wood
siding, and a gable roof. The house was built for Dr. Paul Carson and his wife Mary in 1940-41.
The architect was William Gray Purcell (1880-1965). The house was designed by Purcell in
correspondence with the future owners (over 600 pieces of their correspondence are preserved in
the Northwest Architectural Archives at the University of Minnesota.) The property is in
excellent condition and has had very little alteration since its construction in 1941. The
Minnesota Land Trust holds a conservation easement on the property, which includes
approximately one-half acre of woods.
Evaluated in the perspective of the local historic context "Midcentury Modern Architecture and
Landscapes, 1930s-I970s," the property is architecturally significant as a product of the
dissemination of the Prairie School design philosophy and aesthetic. The house meets eligibility
criterion C in the area of architecture as one of the few preserved examples of Prairie School
architecture in Edina. It is also noteworthy for its connection to Purcell, a prominent architect
who practiced in the Twin Cities between 1909 and 1921.
7. Claude D. Kimball House, 4520 West 44th Street
The historic Kimball house is a two story, frame dwelling located on a large corner lot in the
Browndale Park subdivision. The Tudor Revival style house is characterized by its steeply
pitched gable roofs, decorative half-timbering, and stucco wall cladding. The house was built in
1913 or 1914. The identity of the architect-builder is not known. The property is in a good state
of preservation.
Contextually, the Kimball house reflects the general themes and trends outlined in the historic
context "The Suburban Landscape, 1883 to 1975." The house is believed to be one of the oldest
examples of the Tudor Revival mode in Edina. Although it is not an outstanding example of the
Tudor style, it has been evaluated as historically significant under Criterion A because it is a
distinctive and distinguishable entity that illustrates the broad themes of early twentieth-century

suburban development and the dissemination of the Tudor Revival or "Elizabethan" aesthetic.
8. Bruce A. Abrahamson House, 7205 Shannon Drive
The historic Abrahamson House is a small, steel framed dwelling with a flat roof and very little
decorative detailing. It is set on a wooded hillside in the Knollview Addition. Built in 1956, the house is
classified as an example of the International Style. The designer was the original owner. The house is
little altered from its as built appearance.
Contextually, the property is significant under Criterion C as an example of Midcentury Modern
residential architecture that embodies the distinctive characteristics of the International Style. Architect-
designed homes in the International Style are comparatively rare in Edina. Additionally, it is significant as
the residence of Bruce A. Abrahamson (1925-2008), a partner in the Minneapolis firm of Hammel,
Green and Abrahamson from the mid- 1950s to the 1990s and an important American architect whose
contributions to the Modern movement are well documented.
