1 I'd want more information about what the plaque looks like, where / how it would be posted. For
Q3, we would rather spend more to have it look age and material appropriate. If it looks cheap,
we would skip
5/16/2023 10:12 AM
2 The brief description says the home needs to be at least 100 years old. Our home was built in
1936 so it doesn't qualify.
5/1/2023 1:17 PM
3 With the new contemporary houses being built in the neighborhood after the original homes are
torn down, what's the point? It means nothing anymore. I hope we don't live in Edina anymore
when our house turns 100 years!

Q3 We are exploring materials, designs and costs for a plaque similar to
the model below. In other cities, homeowners pay $150-$420, but we will
keep the cost modest by avoiding brass and seeking a community
partnership to ensure that participation is accessible to all interested
owners of 100-year-old houses. Please check all that apply to you:

#RESPONSES DATE
1 Thank you for making this Program available. I do plan to participate. (While I believe my
homies noteworthy, I am pretty sure it's pretty darn modest & not so very worthy of a lot of
attention.)
6/1/2023 4:55 PM
2 I’d love to be able to find out more information on my house. I went to the assessors office
when we moved in and got copies of a few pictures—but would love more info that I’m sure the
city has in their files.
5/24/2023 4:28 PM
3 I think it is a great idea to recognize and honor these historical homes, particularly since they
seem increasingly threatened by development and teardowns.
5/1/2023 11:27 AM
4 Is the oval marker pictured actually what you have in mind? Just wondering if something more
historic/old looking (vs this one, which candidly looks pretty modern) would suit these older
homes better. I’d be more interested if they were square/rectangular and more in the style of
the homes.
4/30/2023 9:42 PM
5 I would prefer to post the sign at the edge of our property where people can see it.4/29/2023 10:37 AM
6 Great idea! I think this a is a fantastic way to honor the neighborhood and recognize its historic
status.
4/28/2023 3:52 PM
7 Security issues are always a concern when sharing addresses and details of a home. My
decision is based on how much personal information is needed on a network that may not be
totally secure. I like the idea of having recognition of the history of this neighborhood. Our
home is not 100 years old yet. So my response is forth future. Also I did not know there was a
membership possibility for EHS
4/28/2023 11:11 AM
8 I would request that the plaque is somewhat small in size, please, and understated in design.
The provided example looks fine.
4/28/2023 9:33 AM
9 I think it would be super cool to process all for the century homes through Just Deeds at the
same time- remove the racial covenants when we celebrate the history.
4/28/2023 12:59 AM
10 Would love to learn about the history of my house...previous owners, the builder etc.4/27/2023 3:11 PM
11 Where can we access old photos of our homes?4/27/2023 2:53 PM
12 Suggestion: rewrite question #3. None of those options applied to me and it's a required
question. One option should be something like, "$150-$450 is fine." Anyhow, I just think it's a
terrific idea and the program has my full support.
4/27/2023 2:21 PM
13 Edina magazine or some other citywide publication should begin showcasing homes as they
turn 100. Obviously those with the most photos and verifiable history of builders, changes tot
he homes and previous occupants might be most interesting.
4/27/2023 2:17 PM
14 Find a new way to make some money!4/25/2023 5:18 PM
15 It feels like the cost of the plaques should be subsidized with a fee on teardowns for any
teardown older than 75 years.
4/23/2023 5:46 PM
16 I need help in determining the age of my house.4/21/2023 8:25 PM
17 No, we don't have anything further to add.4/20/2023 2:23 PM
18 I would like to make it easier to find the history of the home...photos of what it has looked like
through the ages and who/how many families have lived here.
4/17/2023 10:23 AM
19 It might be interesting to rank the homes by age. Our home is 123 years old. I do not think 4/16/2023 3:37 PM

there are many homes older than that.
20 Morningside has a unique history, as it's own village then becoming part of other cities,then
part of Edina. It had no "red lines" laws, the houses were all unique, and owners who
established Morningside were different trades/backgrounds many seeking to be on the street
car line once it was built (Grimes had it's own stop even in 1909). Much of the "Village of Edina
- Morningside" has changed, as things do, so it would be nice for any century + Morningside
homes left to highlight them, or the importance in the making of Edina.
4/15/2023 1:37 PM
21 Very cool initiative, would be excited to participate. Is the design of the plaque something we
can have an opinion on at a future time?
