George L. Wilson was the author of an article, "Canal Street Sewer, St. Paul, Minnesota," in Engineering News and American Railway Journal (29 March 1894, p. 268.) Canal Street, which no longer exists, was part of a reclamation project known as the Trout Brook/Phalen Creek system, which has the largest storm tunnels under St. Paul. Phalen Creek was named after Edward Phelan, who built a cabin there in 1840, while Trout Brook was named after Edmund Rice's home, "Trout Brook Estate," which was sold to the Northern Pacific RailRoad in 1883. Originally, both were surface streams running along the eastern fringe of downtown St. Paul, now known as Lowertown. Trout Brook drains McCarron's Lake in Roseville, Minnesota, and was a tributary to Phalen Creek, which drains Lake Phalen, and they originally joined together, forming a wetland at their junction with the Mississippi River. In 1893, city engineer George Wilson undertook the task of burying the lower reaches of these streams. Now all vacated, Conduit Street was named after Phalen Creek, Brook Street was named after Trout Brook, and Canal Street was named for the combined flow below their confluence. In 1916, George L. Wilson was the president of the Minnesota Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Munster's plan for the Colorado Street Bridge was to lay the voussoirs in lines parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vault, which avoided the curved lines, elaborate computations, and warped surfaces involved in the usual construction of the oblique arch and greatly reduced the labor and expense of stone cutting and eliminated the customary pressure fit of stone-arch construction.

Dillon O'Brien (1817-1882) was either from Fairfield, County Galway, Ireland, or from County Roscommon, Ireland, lived at Madeline Island, Michigan, and moved his family to Minnesota, where he initially taught at one of the Indian settlements. Dillon O'Brien (1817-1882) was the author of several novels, including The Dalys of Dalycross, the tale of Henry Daly and his relations with the Anglo-Irish Browns, published in St. Paul by the Pioneer Printing Company in 1866, and Frank Blake, in which a friend is saved from a false accusation of murder of Hon. Robert Eyre in Galway, published in St. Paul by the Pioneer Printing Company in 1876, Widow Lemville's Boarding House, a short novel serialized in The Irish Monthly in 1881, and Dead Broke, serialized in The Irish Monthly in 1882. Dillon O'Brien was involved, with Archbishop John Ireland, in establishing the Catholic Colonization Bureau of Minnesota and was the secretary of the organization in 1879 and 1880. The concept involved the cooperation of church, railroads, and incoming settlers who would occupy railroad lands. Bishop Ireland arranged contracts with five different railroads for 369,000 acres for immigrant settlement. Eventually, the family moved to St. Paul, and several of the sons became lawyers and doctors, including Thomas Dillon O'Brien, who became a judge. Dillon O'Brien was an Irish pacifist in Minnesota, was an activist in the communalist movement, and assisted with a project of building the commune of "Connemaras," where Utopian socialists in Liverpool, England, funded the transporting of 300 families from the islands and the west of Ireland to Big Stone County, Minnesota, for purposes of establishing an Irish-speaking utopian community. The Colonisation Bureau in 1876 promoted the first Utopian socialist commune in Swift County, Minnesota, and within four years, the "Bureau" helped develop five colonies of over 300,000 acres of prairie wasteland. Ultimately, the commune project encompassed 800 families in four villages, each with a church, a school, and a grain elevator and each family was supplied with clothing for two year's and provisions for two months, but winter set in and was unusually early and severe, causing great suffering among the "Connemaras". Eventually, the Hearst Corporation newspapers began to attack all Irish people in America, and the communalist movement in particular. Because of the unexpectedly severe living conditions, the "Connemaras" immigrants were forced to take jobs in the towns, but the Anglo employers in towns were suddenly antagonistic, swayed by the Hearst anti-red attacks. Finally, at the prompting of the Hearst newspapers, and as a result of hysteria engendered throughout America, all employers in Big Stone County, Minnesota, refused to hire Irish communalists. Also, the "Connemaras" immigrants were fisher people, tinkers, and landless peasants who could not cope with the harsh Minnesota environment in which they had been placed and many starved to death. The communes were all destroyed and the survivors migrated north, eventually to work in the logging mills, the forests, and the mines of the Arrowhead region. The commune survivors became a force for founding the International Workers of the World (the IWW or "Wobblies",) and in starting the general strike of 1916 on the Iron Range in Northeastern Minnesota, led in part by Italian Syndicalist Carlo Tresca.
