In General.
When Minnesota became a state in 1858, the area covered by much of the hike, including the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood, was part of the Fort Snelling military reserve. This area, known as Reserve Township, was annexed by the City of Saint Paul in 1887. The Macalester-Groveland neighborhood is home to several post-secondary institutions, many of which date back to before a majority of the area was settled. In 1884, Macalester College moved to its present site at Grand and Snelling Avenues. A majority of homes in the Macalester-Groveland area date back to the era between 1915 and the late 1920's, when streetcar use was in its prime.

The 1930 city directory indicates that Henry J. Ferodowill, a body builder employed by the Ford Motor Company, and his wife, Lillian Ferodowill, Christ Rasmussen, a laborer, and his wife, Josephine Rasmussen, all resided at this address. The Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford (1863–1947,) the son of William Ford, of County Cork, Ireland, and Mary Litogot O'Hern Ford, of Michigan, who was born in Greenfield Township, Detroit, Michigan, and who was the father of the modern manufacturing assembly line. Ford declined to pursue farming and left home in 1879 for the nearby city of Detroit, Michigan, to work as an apprentice machinist with James F. Flower & Bros., and then with the Detroit Dry Dock Company. In 1882, he returned to the family farm, became adept at operating the Westinghouse portable steam engine, and was later hired by Westinghouse company to service their steam engines. Ford married Clara Ala Bryant (1865-1950) in 1888 and supported his wife and two children, Edsel Bryant Ford (1893-1943) and a Chinese adoptee, by farming and running a sawmill. In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company, became its Chief Engineer in 1893, invented a self-propelled vehicle named the Quadricycle in 1896 and completed a second gasoline powered vehicle with Thomas Edison's blessing in 1898. Backed by Detroit lumber baron William H. Murphy, Ford founded the Detroit Automobile Company in 1899, but the company failed in 1901. Teaming with C. Harold Wills, Ford designed, built, and successfully raced a 26HP automobile in 1901, prompting Murphy and the other Detroit Automobile Company stockholders to form the Henry Ford Company in late 1901, with Ford serving as chief engineer, but left the company in 1902 when Henry M. Leland became a consultant and it was renamed the Cadillac Automobile Company. Ford and Alexander Y. Malcomson, a Detroit area coal dealer, formed "Ford & Malcomson, Ltd." to manufacture automobiles after Ford supplied Barney Oldfield a winning race car in 1902. After slow initial sales and a dispute with suppliers, the Dodge Brothers, Ford & Malcomson was reincorporated as the Ford Motor Company in 1903. The Model T was introduced in 1908. Ford's network of local independent dealers made the car avaialable in virtually every city in North America and, by 1918, half of all cars in America were Model T's. In 1918, Henry Ford turned the presidency of Ford Motor Company over to his son Edsel Ford and the pair began buying back all of the company's stock. Between World War I and World War II, Ford emerged as a spokesman for right-wing extremism and religious prejudice, including anti-Semetism. The Ford Model A was introduced in 1927 and was produced through 1931. Although he historically had paid a premium wage and attracted the best available mechanical talent, Ford was adamantly against labor unions in his plants and to forestall union activity, promoted Harry Bennett, a former Navy boxer, to run an internal security unit that employed various intimidation tactics to squash union organizing. Ford was the last Detroit automaker to recognize the United Auto Workers union, doing so in 1941. Oscar Swanson ( -1908) died in Ramsey County. Christ Rasmussen ( -1948) and Joseph Henry Ferodowill ( -1952) both died in Ramsey County. Joseph H. Ferodowill operated a bicycle repair shop at 86 West Seventh Street in 1899.

351 St. Clair Avenue: Ayd/Aydt House; Built in 1896. The structure is a two story, 1252 square foot, seven room, four bedroom, three bathroom, aluminum/vinyl-sided house, with a detached garage.

John Kaydon Ayd (1799-1867) was a German immigrant and his grist mill could grind up to 22 sacks of corn a day. John Ayd purchased the quarter-section bounded by Lexington, Victoria, St. Clair, and Randolph in 1858. In 1887, the St. Paul Board of Park Commissioners began making plans to turn the mill site into a park, but the 1893 depression made financing of the transformation nearly impossible. The mill building still stood in 1889. In 1998, a citizen task force recommended converting the 40-acre Ayd Mill Road corridor, originally the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul RailRoad (subsequently the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific RailRoad or "Milwaukee Road") corridor and subsequently the Short Line RailRoad corridor, into a linear park, but, in 2002, the City of St. Paul instead opened the connection to I-35E. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific RailRoad was a Class I railroad that operated in the midwest and northwest of the United States from 1847 until its acquisition by the Soo Line railway in 1986. The original 1847 Milwaukee & Waukesha Railroad changed its name to the Milwaukee & Mississippi RailRoad in 1848, then became the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul RailRoad in 1872, with lines running through Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, extends its line to the Pacific Coast in the 1890's, electrified its far West lines just before World War I, re-organized as the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific RailRoad Company in 1927, dieselized in the mid 1950's, unsuccessfully attempted to merge with the Chicago & North Western Railway in the late 1960's, unsuccessfully attempted in 1970 to be included in the Union Pacific merger with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad to counter the merger of the James J. Hill railroads into the Burlington Northern, failed to implement a Pacific expansion, de-electrified its line just before the 1974 petroleum crisis, was restrucutered between 1980 and 1985, and was sold to the Soo Line Railroad in 1985.

Ayd, sometimes called John "Cajetan" Ayd, moved to Ramsey County in 1854 as the leader of a group of German immigrants from Hamilton County, Illinois. In 1858, John Ayd (1799-1867) was an early landowner in this part of St. Paul and purchased the quarter-section bounded by Lexington Avenue, Victoria Street, St. Clair Avenue, and Randolph Avenue, and later built a mill. John Ayd’s daughter was Catherine Ayd, who married Fred Weber of St. Paul, and the two families operated Weber & Ayd's store in St. Paul from the mid to late 1800's. John "Cajetan" Ayd and his group reportedly founded the town of Aydtstown, in Wright County, Minnesota, which is now St. Michael, Minnesota. John K. Ayd appears in A History of Wright County Minnesota published by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge in 1915. Fred Weber ( -1909,) Fred R. Weber ( -1917,) and Fred Weber ( -1953) died in Ramsey County. Fred W. Weber (1869-1960) was born in Minnesota, had a mother with a maiden name of Snyder, and died in Hennepin County. Fred W. Weber (1904-1975) was born in Minnesota and died in Hennepin County. The Short Line RailRoad was laid along the eastern edge in 1880, serving commuters to Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Warren Given Inc. was an auto garage & sales room doing business in 1931 at two locations, Grand Avenue at Milton (the auto garage) and at 198 West Fifth Street (used car sales.) Warren Given Inc. sold American Austin automobiles and Buick automobiles. American Austin cars were produced in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the old Standard Steel Car Company factory. In England, in 1921, vehicles were taxed according to horsepower and the price of gasoline was extremely high and these factors led Sir Herbert Austin (1866-1941) to design a tiny automobile. Austin realized that America also needed a small economy car instead of the big fuel burning cars that were prevalent and, in 1929, talked some American businessmen into starting a company to build the American Austin. The engine was apparently the same design as that of the English Austin 7, a 46 cubic inch L-head 4 cylinder with only two main bearings and produced between 13 and 14 horsepower at 3200 RPM. The Austin was the lightest car in production in America, weighing between 1100 and 1200 pounds, had a wheelbase of 75 inches, or 16 inches shorter than a VW Beetle and more than two feet shorter than the Ford Model T, had a very narrow 40-inch track, had a three-speed gearbox, and had four-wheel-brakes. The English body was re-designed by Russian Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. The Great Depression shut down the Austin factory in 1932, but the factory was acquired, with a $250 million loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, by entrepreneur, Roy S. Evans, who, at age 30, was the largest automobile dealer in the South. Approximately 20,000 American Austins were produced before the company was liquidated in 1935 and was reorganized in 1936 as the American Bantam Car Company. The American Bantam Car Company faltered as World War II began, but the company created the Bantam Reconnaissance Car, the vehicle that evolved into the "Jeep." Ultimately, the American Bantam Car Company, Ford, and Willys-Overland built jeeps based on the Bantam design. The name "Jeep" apparently was derived from the Ford version of the vehicle, the "GP," with the "G" for Government and the "P" for an 80" wheelbase. After World War II, Evans sold the company and the Butler, Pennsylvania, factory began producing trailers until 1956, when the plant was sold to American Rolling Mills. Sir Herbert Austin, Baron of Longbridge, worked for Frederick York Wolseley from 1885, rising from foreman to chairman of directors in 1911, designed and made the first Wolseley motor car in 1895, and, in 1905, started the Austin Motor Company. The Buick Motor Division of the General Motors Corporation was founded in 1902 by David Dunbar Buick (1854-1929,) a plumbing materials manufacturer who developed a process for annealing porcelain to steel for bathtubs, and his engineer, Walter L. Marr, and was incorporated in 1903, when Buick's initial financial backer, Benjamin Briscoe, Jr., sold his interest in Buick to a group of wagon makers in Flint, Michigan. The company recovered from near-bankruptcy in 1904 to become the No. 1 producer of automobiles in 1908. David Buick left the firm in 1906 and General Motors was created around the Buick Motor Company as a holding company for Buick, the Olds Motor Vehicle Company, the Cadillac Automobile Company, and the Oakland Motor Car Company, by former horse-drawn carriage manufacturer William Crapo "Billy" Durant in 1908.

The New York Central RailRoad operated in the Northeastern United States from headquarters in New York and served most of the Northeast, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts and much of New England and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec. Its primary connections included Chicago and Boston. The New York Central RailRoad operated Grand Central Terminal in New York City. In 1968, the New York Central RailRoad merged with its former rival, the Pennsylvania RailRoad, to form the Penn Central, but that company went bankrupt, was then operated by the federal government, and was merged into Conrail in 1976.

Thousands of people, mostly poor middle-aged vagrants with little medical care or social standing, were buying the Liggett extract for use as a beverage, rather than for medicinal purposes. Owner Louis K. Liggett was a national committeeman from Massachusetts, treasurer and a financial angel of the Republican party. Only the federal Food & Drug Administration could stop its sale by drugstores, but Mr. Liggett was a power in the Hoover Administration. Nothing was done by the FDA about the Liggett product until, in 1930 and 1931, people began to drop dead in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Two Oklahoma doctors, E. Miles and W. H. Goldfain, were apparently the first to associate the condition with the ingestion of the fluid extract of Jamaica ginger. In all, 5,000 people died and over 30,000 were paralyzed and maimed for life by the product. The damage resulted in the limping "Jake Leg" or "Jake Walk."

The other building is a six bay, two story, 14352 square foot, former garage and automobile dealership with a flat roof, a parapet roofline, and one chimney. The cost of the larger building was $7,500 and the building has been altered since construction. The original owner was Henry Kanevsky, who had the building built as a gas station, automobile repair garage, and dealership for Willey's, Whippet, and Overland automobiles. The Marvy Company manufacturers barber poles. William "Bill" Marvy was 13 years old when he began working at a barber supply company in 1922. While still in his twenties, he founded his own successful company, but eventually grew dissatisfied with the barber poles that he was selling on his sales route. Convinced he could build a better one, Bill Marvy set out to create a product that would forever change the barbering industry. The "Six Ways Better" barber pole, introduced in 1950, was an instant success. The William Marvy Company has produced over 75,000 barber poles and is the only remaining manufacturer of barber poles in North America. Claude E. Cox designed and built the first Overlands in 1903 and the Overland Automobile Company was incorporated in 1906. The 1907 depression caused the Overland Automobile Company to falter. In 1908, John North Willys bought the Overland Automobile Company and in 1912 renamed it Willys-Overland Motor Company. From 1912 to 1918, Willys was the second largest producer of automobiles in the United States behind only the Ford Motor Company. In 1913, Willys acquired a license to build the Knight sleeve-valve engine and use it in cars bearing the Willys-Knight nameplate. John Willys acquired the Electric Auto-Lite Company in 1914 and in 1917 formed the Willys Corporation to act as his holding company. In 1915, the Willys Corporation acquired the Russell Motor Car Company of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and, in 1919, acquired the Duesenberg Motors Company plant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The 1920 recession brought the Willys Corporation to its knees. The company's bankers hired Walter P. Chrysler to reorganize the company. In order to raise cash and eliminate debts, all of the Willys Corporation assets were auctioned. In 1926, production of the Overland ended and was replaced by the Whippet brand of small cars. After the stock-market crash of 1929, a number of Willys automotive brands began to falter. Whippet production ended in 1931, replaced by the Willys Six and Eight. Production of the Willys-Knight ended in 1933. In 1936, the Willys-Overland Motor Company was reorganized as Willys-Overland Motors. In 1938, Joseph Washington Frazer left the Chrysler Corporation and became the head of Willys-Overland and immediately set about improving the product and pushing the firm into other business areas. Production of the Willys MB, or Jeep, began in 1941. After World War II, Willys-Overland concentrated on Jeeps and Jeep-based vehicles, but struggled. In 1951, Willys re-entered the car market with a compact car, the Willys Aero. In 1953, Kaiser Motors purchased Willys-Overland and changed the name to Willys Motor Company. In 1963, the company became the Kaiser-Jeep Corporation. Kaiser-Jeep was sold to American Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1970. Renault purchased a major stake in AMC in 1979 and took over operation of the company. Chrysler purchased AMC in 1987. The current owner of record of the property is the William Marvey Company Inc.
