Company, John Ridge, a clerk, and Patrick A. Ridge, a police officer at the Central Station, all resided at this address. The Great Northern RailRoad was chartered as a corporation by the Minnesota Territorial Legislature in 1856, initially named the Minneapolis & St. Cloud RailRoad, and was renamed the Great Northern RailRoad in 1889. The Great Northern RailRoad leased the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba RailRoad for 999 years in 1890 and, in 1907, owned the Willmar & Sioux Falls RailRoad, the Duluth, Watertown & Pacific RailRoad, the Montana Central RailRoad, the Minneapolis Union RailRoad, the Sioux City & Northern RailRoad, the Sioux City & Western RailRoad, and the Minneapolis Western RailRoad, leased the Eastern RailRoad of Minnesota, the Duluth Terminal RailRoad, the Dakota & Great Northern RailRoad, the Minnesota & Great Northern RailRoad, the Park Rapids & Leech Lake RailRoad, the Seattle & Montana RailRoad, the Montana & Great Northern RailRoad, the Crow's Nest Southern RailRoad, and the Duluth, Superior & West Terminal RailRoad, and controlled the Spokane Falls & Northern RailRoad. In 1907, the Great Northern RailRoad had 786 locomotives, 600 passenger cars, 33,296 freight cars, and 1,658 service cars, had its main headquarters at Third Street and Rosabel Street in St. Paul, and had issued $149.6 million in stock. The officers of the Great Northern RailRoad in 1907 were James J. Hill, president, Louis W. Hill, vice president, Robert I. Farrington, second vice president, E. T. Nichols, third vice president and assistant treasurer, Benjamin Campbell, fourth vice president, Edward Sawyer, treasurer and assistant secretary, Nicholas Terhune, assistant secretary and assistant treasurer, J. G. Drew, controller, and Henry W. Cannon, William B. Dean, Robert I. Farrington, James J. Hill, Louis W. Hill, Edward Sawyer, Samuel Thorne, Frederick Weyerhaeuser, and Frank E. Ward, members of the board of directors. The Great Northern Railway, created by the 19th century railroad tycoon James J. Hill out of the prior St. Paul & Pacific RailRoad, ran from St. Paul to Seattle, Washington, with more than 1,700 miles of track. The Great Northern RailRoad was the most northern transcontinental railroad in the United States and ran north of the Northern Pacific RailRoad. The Great Northern RailRoad was a privately funded transcontinental railroad, refusing federal government subsidies for construction (although some of its predecessor railroads received land grants.) The Great Northern RailRoad was the single transcontinental railroad avoiding receivership during the 1893-1897 depression. The Great Northern RailRoad also controlled the Northern Steamship Company, but divested itself of the freight steamships and the Buffalo, New York, port facilities in 1903, while retaining the passenger steamships. The Great Northern RailRoad also instituted a trans-Pacific Ocean steamship operation between Puget Sound, Washington, and China and Japan in 1897. The Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company was part of coal mining history in Pennsylvania. The first discovery of coal in Schuylkill County of eastern Pennsylvania is traced in legend to 1790. By 1817, a number of small individual mines had been opened and, in 1822, anthracite mining and shipping as a business was under way. By 1825, the Schuylkill Navigation Company completed the Schuylkill Canal for the transport of anthracite from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, to Philadelphia in barges. In 1842, the first Philadelphia & Reading RailRoad train left Philadelphia for Pottsville Pennsylvania, to compete with the canal for the coal trade. The canal began to fade in the 1860's and, in 1870, the Schuylkill Navigation Company leased its waterway to the Philadelphia and Reading RailRoad before ceasing operations completely before 1920. In 1871, the Philadelphia & Reading RailRoad established a subsidiary, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company to capitalize on the demand for anthracite. The Reading Company, a holding company for the Philadelphia & Reading RailRoad and the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company formed to evade antitrust laws, was challenged in 1924 and the Reading Company was ordered to divest itself of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company. The demand for anthracite lessened after World War II. The Reading Company was unsuccessful in shifting its profitablility to reliable business areas other than anthracite and went bankrupt in 1971, was not successfully reorganized and was folded into Conrail in 1976. In 1956, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company changed its corporate title to the Philadelphia & Reading Corporation, and sold off what remained of its coal operations in 1961, including the Reading Anthracite Division, to its present day owners, with Reading Anthracite remaining the largest anthracite mining company in the world.

North Maple Street, North Greenbrier Street, and East Seventh Street intersection: Hamm Park. The park is named for Theodore Hamm (1825-1903), founder of the Hamm's Brewery. Theodore Hamm (1825-1903) was born in Baden, Germany, emigrated to the United States in 1854, moved to St. Paul in 1856, and became a brewer. Theodore Hamm and Louise Buchholz Hamm (1833-1896), a young German immigrant couple, found a home in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1856. In 1864, entrepreneur Andrew F. Keller, the owner of a small brewery called the Excelsior Brewery, then producing 500 barrels a year, needed money for expansion. Theodore Hamm lent Keller the money, with the brewery as collateral. When Keller defaulted on the loan in 1862, Theodore Hamm became the owner of a brewery. With its clear spring water and cool caves for storage, Swede Hollow was a perfect place for brewing beer. Theodore Hamm's brewery was located at the north end of the Hollow as early as the 1860's. The 1893 city directory included an advertisement for Hamm Excelsior beer. By 1894, the Hamm's brew house was an imposing five stories high, built of red brick and stone, with long rows of arched windows, ornate North Germanic gables, and a splendid baroque dome crowned by a cupola. The brewery was incorporated in 1896, with Theodore Hamm as president and his son, William Hamm, as vice-president and secretary. Theodore Hamm is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Saint Paul. The brewery remained in domain of the Hamm family for 100 years. William Hamm graduated from St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota, from its commercial program. William Hamm was kidnapped near the brewery by the Barker-Karpis gang. The Barker-Karpis gang was made up of Arizona Donnie "Kate" (Ma) Barker (1872-1935) and her sons (Arthur "Doc" Barker (1900-1939), Herman Barker, Lloyd Barker, and Fred Barker (1902-1935)), and Alvin (Creepy) Karpis and his cronies. William Hamm (1898-1965) was snatched in June, 1933, and Edward George Bremer (1898-1965), a banker, in January, 1934. Hamm's ransom was $100,000 and Bremer's $200,000. In 1910, William Hamm donated this park to the city of St. Paul in memory of his father, Theodore Hamm. William Hamm served on the St. Paul City Park Board and the St. Paul City Council, and believed beautiful parks were an important part of city life. The large rock circle flower garden was part of the original design of this park. The deed for the property states that if not used as a park, the property should go back to the owner's descendants.
