Specific Structures or Points of Interest Along the Hike. The following presents available information on points of interest and the building styles of specific structures located along the hike:
100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd.: State Office Building. Built in 1932; Clarence H. Johnston, Sr., architect. Because of a lack of space in the capitol building that caused state agencies to remove their offices from that space every biennial legislative session, the 1929 Legislature authorized the appointment of the State Office Building Commission and appropriated $1.5 million for a new state office building. Governor Theodore Christianson appointed the commission which voted in favor of a six-story brick office building at the rear of the Capitol, on the block bounded by University Avenue, Park Street, Sherburne Avenue, and Capitol Boulevard. The State Office Building Commission plan violated Cass Gilbert's overall plan for the Capitol complex. Cass Gilbert was asked by the City of St. Paul to restudy his original Capitol approach plans, came to Saint Paul in 1930, entered into contract with the city to prepare a plan of approaches, and submitted the new plans in 1931. The supplemental plan located a building on the current site of the State Office Building. The 1931 legislature overruled the State Office Building Commission's decision on the University site in favor of the Wabasha Street (now Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd.) site. The State Office Building was erected in 1932. Clarence H. Johnston, Sr., also designed the prior Historical Society Building, which now is incorporated into the Minnesota Judicial Center, which houses the State Supreme Court and the State Court of Appeals. The building initially housed various State agencies through the early 1970's, when the building began its conversion to a legislative office building, first to office the Senate Minority Caucus members and then to provide offices for the entire House of Representatives membership. The building was remodeled and updated in 1984-1986, when hearing rooms replaced the prior central air shafts and the seventh floor was added. The building is now almost entirely a legislative office building, with the sole nonlegislative occupants being the office of the Minnesota Secretary of State and Ken "Lawn Boy" Kirkpatrick's Capitol Barber shop. Ken Kirkpatrick is the former chair of the Minnesota Board of Barber Examiners and recently served as the president of the National Association of Barber Boards of America.

The 2007 Cole Reference Directory indicates that Christ Lutheran Church, the Lutheran Coalition for Public Policy, the St. Paul Area Synod ALCA, and the Zion Evangelical Fellowship were located at this address. The church was founded in 1868 by Scandinavian immigrants. In the late 1970's, Christ Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill became involved in ministry to Southeast Asian refugees fleeing from Communism in their native countries. The church still has a strong Scandinavian following which results in a unique cultural mix within the church community. Christ Lutheran is also one of the founding congregations and an active corporate partner of the Lyngblomsten Care Center at 1455 Almond Avenue in St. Paul, hosts the Hmong Explorer Post 6, a Boy Scout Troop of Hmong teenagers, provides a monthly forum for the Minnesota Association of Christian Songwriters, shares its building with the Zion Evangelical Fellowship, a church of Ethiopian immigrants who hold their services in their native Amharic language, and sponsors the Southeast Asian Ministry. The CLC building is also home for the St Paul Area Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Rev. Susan Tjornehoj is the pastor of the church, Paul Swenson is the organist, Sean Whelan is the choir director, and Bun Loeung is the Khmer choir leader.

116 University Avenue West (Across from 117 University Avenue West): Lief Erikson/Leif Erickson Statute Erected in 1949; John Karl Daniels, Sculptor. The 13 foot tall bronze figure depicts the man who many consider to be the first European to reach North America, circa 1000 A.D. The statue was dedicated on Leif Erikson Day, October 9, 1949. The monument was sponsored by the Vestfoldlaget i Amerika, a Norwegian-American organization, and the Minnesota Leif Erikson Monument Association and was funded by a public subscription. The Norwegian National League was reborn in 1927 and became a factor in the Leif Erikson movement locally. The Norwegian National League in Minneapolis took the initiative after 1929 in getting the Minnesota legislature to adopt a law making October 9 annually Leif Erikson Day and the law was enacted 1931. Also in 1931, Nordkap Lodge No. 8, Sons of Norway, St. Paul, launched the idea of a Leif Erikson monument on the Capitol Grounds and the Leif Erikson Monument Association was organized with Prof. M. O. Wee ( -1942) as president. The statue was unveiled and dedicated in 1949 to coincide with Minnesota's territorial centennial celebrations. [See note on John K.

450 Marion Street: The structure is a commercial building. The 2007 Cole Reference Directory indicates that the Sears Roebuck Company was located at this address.
387 Marion Street: Western Sculpture Park; Established in 1998. The 4.49 acre Western Sculpture Park is a model of urban revitalization, after being one of the most neglected and crime-ridden patches of land in St. Paul. The current owner of record is the City of St. Paul. The site of the park once was a staging area for the Red River Ox Cart caravans that travelled back and forth from the Red River of the North valley (i. e. the Fargo-Moorhead area,) where Scottish tenant farmers had relocated and mixed with the Metis (French and Indian mixed bloods) hunters who already lived there, to St. Paul from the 1830's to the 1860's. In an effort to survive, these farmers began trapping and tried to market their furs. The American Fur Company, founded by John Jacob Aster, and located in St. Paul, paid two to four times more for furs than did the British Hudson's Bay Company, so the peasant farmers built their own unique carts to transport furs and goods to St. Paul. The carts were made primarily of oak, cost about $15 to make, and could carry weights of furs and supplies of up to one half ton per cart. They were pulled by an ox or a horse and ran tandem two, three, or more carts together with a driver for each three to five carts. The drivers were called "boisbrule" and their ancestry was a combination of American Indian, Scottish, and French. The ox carts could be heard five miles away because of their squeaky wheels, and they would sometimes travel with as many as 200 carts in a line. Several Red River ox cart trails crossed what is now the St. Paul Midway area, linking the former St. Anthony (now Minneapolis) with St. Paul. The need for the ox carts diminished as the steamboats on the Red River became the new mode for transporting furs and supplies, and eventually, as the railroad replaced steamboats. Around the turn of the 20th Century, this area became the city's first Victorian neighborhood. After a decline in the area's housing stock and the construction of nearby I-94, the site required urban renewal, was acquired by the St. Paul Housing and Redevlopment Agency, and was given to the St. Paul Parks and Recreation Department in 1966. The Fuller Aurora Neighborhood Association spent a decade and a $300,000 capital improvement grant to develop the park. The design of the park was the work of St. Paul City Landscape Architect Jim Brewer. The crushed stone pathways and the format hedge are intended to evoke both the neighborhood's ox cart trail history and Victorian housing heritage. Sculptor John Hock is the curator of the park. Twin blue towers in the median of Marion Street, by Mexican artist Sebastian Enrique Carabajal, serve as a garish park beacon. About 20 other works of public art line the park's gravel paths, including a major centerpiece sculpture from internationally recognized steel-beam artist Mark diSuvero. Sculptures include "Wild Slide" by Peter Lundberg, "Armadillo" by Robert Ressler, "Fallen Leaf" by Karl Ciesluk, "Woods For Trees and Tree Bracelets", "Mute, Beacon, Shift", "Frame" by Shaun Cassidy, "Embracing Reason", "Site of the Source", "Androecium", "Sunstack #1", "Walking Warrior I", "Haints and History" by Preston Jackson, "Harmony VII", and "Chicago Nike". The full circle bench and the half-circle bench were designed by Afton artist and St. Paul Academy and Summit School art teacher Paul Benson, were constructed from light granite, dark granite, and aluminum, and also were intended to evoke the memory of ox cart wheels. Benson also designed the railing at the Marion Street park entrance. The nearby apartment complexes make the neighborhood one of the most densely populated in the city, with 750 households and 450 children, 300 of which are under ten years of age. Preston Jackson (1944- ) is a professor of sculpture at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois, and teaches art to both children and adults at the Contemporary Art Center of Peoria, Illinois. Robert Ressler is a New York City sculptor who has exhibited sculpture at sites as diverse as the Jewish Museum, Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Times Square, Riverbank State Park in Harlem, and Wave Hill, the world renowned gardens in Riverdale. Karl Ciesluk is a Canadian sculptor. John Hock (1958- ) is co-founder and artistic director of the Franconia Sculpture Park in Franconia Township (Taylors Falls), Minnesota. Born in England, Shaun Cassidy (1968- ) was educated at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, the Norwich School of Art, and the University of Alberta, Canada, taught at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Marseilles, France, was an assistant professor at the Kansas City Art Institute, and served on the faculty at Bennington College, Vermont, before joining the faculty at Winthrop University in South Carolina. Mark DiSuvero (1933 - ) was born in Shanghai, China, received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and began making large abstract works from structural steel in the 1960's.

The 2007 Cole Reference Directory indicates that Christ's Household of Faith, Christ's Household of Faith Health Department, and North Star Services Auto were located at this address and that Travis C. Walker and Cindy L. Warneke resided at this address. St. Joseph's Academy was founded in 1851. Minnesota Historical Society records indicate that St. Joseph's Academy was located at this address from 1863 to 1972. The former girl's school was established by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet were founded at Le Puy, in Velay, France, in 1650. The order of nuns, directed by Rev. Jean Pierre/Jean-Paul Medaille, S.J. (1618-1689), was the third non-cloistered religious order for women, following St. Francis de Sales, who started the Visitandines (the Institute of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin (1607),) and St. Vincent de Paul, who started the Daughters of Charity (1629.) Members of the new order wore the garb of widows to be seen as respectable when they traveled the streets of Le Puy, France, unaccompanied, performing corporal and spiritual works of mercy by aiding orphans and the poor. The order barely survived the French Revolution, when they became a secret society, caring for the sick and dying, and hiding priests who refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the civil government. Five sisters of St. Joseph were captured and lost their lives to the guillotine. Eventually, Napoleon changed his policies from intolerance to limited approval for "useful" congregations of women. In 1836, a few religious women set sail for the New World, when a measles epidemic struck St. Louis and left scores of children hearing-impaired, and Bishop Joseph Rosati, who knew that the Sisters of St. Joseph taught the deaf in France, begged them to come to America to help. They landed in New Orleans and made their way up the Mississippi river, first settling in Carondelet, Missouri, and then beginning to open schools, orphanages, and hospitals. In 1851, four Sisters of St. Joseph arrived in the former settlement of Pig's Eye, which had only recently been renamed St. Paul. A few days after their arrival, the sisters opened St. Joseph's Academy with one student. In 1851, the shed was the residence hall and the classroom was the vestry of the log cabin chapel. By Fall, 1852, a brick building was erected, with 87 students. The current owner of record of the property is Christ's Household of Faith, Inc. The historic Marshall Avenue complex is valued at $3.3 million. Christ's Household of Faith, Inc., was founded by Donald Alsbury, a self-proclaimed prophet who preaches communal living and a return to Christianity's roots, and traces its roots to Mora, Minnesota. The group incorporated in 1971, moved to St. Paul in 1972, and purchased this property in 1976. The group, with about 500 members, owns at least 43 homes, including dozens of homes near its Marshall Avenue campus, and commercial properties, the vast majority in the Ramsey Hill area of St. Paul.

The hotel changed ownership several times and began the deterioration that led to its closure in 1971. In 1875, Thomas Lowry started the Minneapolis Street Railway, which later became the Twin Cities Rapid Transit Company. The Twin Cities Line had over 1,100 streetcars at its peak, operating on 523 miles of track that went from Stillwater, White Bear Lake, and the Wildwood Amusement Park, owned by TCRT, in the east, through St. Paul and Como Park, into Minneapolis, out to Lake Harriet, then Hopkins, and all the way out west to Excelsior and Deephaven on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, where a fleet of yellow "trolley boats" serviced the vast lake, the numerous docks along the shore, and the TCRT-owned Big Island Amusement Park. Ray Harris developed the Calhoun Square retail complex and has been involved in various attempts to redevelop the Minneapolis Sears Store property on Lake Street. The St. Paul Street Railway Company, along with the Minneapolis Street Railway Company, the Minneapolis & St. Paul Suburban Railroad Company, the Minneapolis & St. Paul Suburban Railway Company, the Minneapolis, Lyndale & Minnetonka Railway Company, the Transit Supply Company, the Minnetonka & White Bear Navigation Company, and the Rapid Transit Real Estate Corporation all were merged into the Twin City Rapid Transit Company. The St. Paul Union Depot was designed by Charles Sumner Frost, was started in 1917 and was completed in 1923, and provided passenger and freight railroad services for St. Paul, serving some 282 trains and 20,000 passengers daily from its railroad platforms adjoining 18 railroad tracks. The Union Depot replaced an earlier depot that was located closer to the river and suffered two fires before its replacement. The first depot building was completed in 1881, and combined the services of several different railroads into one building, yielding the name "union," and had its peak year in 1888, handling eight million passengers and 150 trains daily. The successor Union Depot was owned by the St. Paul Union Depot Company, a Minnesota corporation owned in equal shares by the nine railroads that served St. Paul at the height of passenger rail service, which had an independent management, and was reponsible for the depot headhouse, connecting bridge, and concourse, adjoining trakage, platforms, umbrella sheds, and switching locomotives. Each railroad serving the depot was charged a facility fee to offset debt service, operations and maintenance. Passenger rail service was discontinued to the Depot in 1971 and thereafter the assets of the St. Paul Union Depot Company were liquidated. The headhouse (depot facade and entrance building) was sold to a private developer and walled off from the bridge and concourse, which was sold to the U. S. Postal Service. The headhouse is an austere neo-classical design with a Tuscan colonade. The bridge contains a relatively unique building feature in the Twin Cities, a ceiling consisting of a series of transverse barrle vaults using the Guastavino thin-tile herringbone vaulting system. The St. Paul Union Depot Company owned considerable adjoining trackage because eight of the 18 rail lines serving the depot were stub tracks accessible only from the East, with the remaining 10 rail lines through rails, and because rail ownership patterns and trackage rights cause many passenger trains to use only the stub tracks, requiring the use of a triangle railroad track "wye" system south south east of the depot, over the former swamp land ("grand marais") of the outlet of Phalen Creek and Trout Brook into the Mississippi River. In 1881, the St. Paul Union Depot Company employed 31 persons, one depot master, two ticket agents, two clerks, one baggage agent, three checkmen, six truckmen, one passenger agent, two policemen, one matron, one janitor, one assistant janitor, two car clerks, one assistant car clerk, one yard foreman, and six switchmen. In 1885, the St. Paul Union Depot Company employed 85 persons, one secretary, one car clerk, one bookkeeper, two ticket agents, three ticket clerks, one passenger agent, one watchman, one policeman, five gatemen, four mail agents, four janitors, two matrons, one emigration agent, two stationary engineers, one stoker, one baggage agent, six checkmen, two clerks, 13 truckmen, one yard master, nine switchmen, two engineers, two firemen, four brakemen, one maintenance foreman, ten laborers, one team driver, two carpenters, and one rail road supply employee.

The Twin City Building and Loan Association was established in 1923 in Minneapolis, reportedly organized by a life insurance man who thought the savings business would feed his life business. The membership fee was $2 per share, and investors in the savings and loan association were promised to receive dividends at a rate of seven percent. It competed with savings and loans that were set up by real estate investors established savings and loans as affiliated business ventures to drive up their profits. In 1924, the Twin City Building & Loan Association established a St. Paul office and had $50,000 in assets. By 1925, it grew nearly fivefold and prompted it to move to larger facilities in both cities. It suffered during the Great Depression, but the mid-1930's introduction of a government insurance program for S&Ls proved to be a catalyst for growth in the industry and in the Minnesota operation. It received a federal charter in 1936 as the Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association, with assets of $3.5 million in 1936 and $10 million in 1939. By 1943, Twin City Federal was the seventh largest savings and loan in the nation and had over $20 million in assets. In 1960, Twin City Federal had about 26 percent of total assets held by the state's savings institutions. However, by 1985, Twin City Federal was among the various savings and loan that were on the verge of collapse. Twin City Federal hired William A.
