FAQS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQS Were Developed by Friend of Loring Park Volunteers Randy Schultz and Kay Samuelson
FAQS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQS were developed by Friend of Loring Park Volunteers Randy Schultz and Kay Samuelson WHAT IS THE BUILDING AT THE EDGE OF THE POND NEAR THE GARDEN AND THE BRIDGE? The 18x37 foot structure was built at a cost of $3600 in 1916 (building permit B 124422 9/9/16) as a "Comfort Station," or restrooms in present parlance. Men's facilities were located at the north end of the building, ladies at the south end. It served this purpose until sometime in the late 1960s or 70s. It is a popular subject of artists and often serves as a backdrop for portrait, fashion, and wedding photography. These days the building holds maintenance equipment and the pond aeration system. It is used by the park gardener and the garden volunteers as a storage and staging area for the garden. WHAT IS THAT BUILDING WITH THE 'POINTY' TOP? It's called Performance Place, and it serves as a preparation area or "green room" for those using the stage at the north end of the building. When the 22x28 foot building was constructed in 1889 in the park's southeast corner it served for 17 years as the office of the first Superintendent of Minneapolis Parks, Captain William Morse Berry, during the latter part of his nearly 21-year tenure. His successor, Theodore Wirth, moved to accommodations next to the Board's convening room in City Hall soon after taking office in 1906, and the building was used primarily as a tool shed after that. At some point it was moved a short distance to a location close to 15th Street, where it briefly hosted "Loring Park Place," a sandwich and ice cream shop in the 70s. -

Vol. 01/ 6 (1916)
REVIEWS OF BOOKS History of Stearns County, Minnesota. By WILLIAM BELL MITCHELL. In two volumes. (Chicago, H. C. Cooper Jr. and Company, 1915. xv, xii, 1536 p. Illustrated) These two formidable-looking volumes, comprising some fif teen hundred pages in all, are an important addition to the literature of Minnesota local history. The author is himself a pioneer. Coming to Minnesota in 1857, he worked as surveyor, teacher, and printer until such time as he was able to acquire the St. Cloud Democrat. He later changed the name of the paper to the St. Cloud lournal, and, after his purchase of the St. Cloud Press in 1876, consolidated the two under the name St. Cloud Journal-Press, of which he remained editor and owner until 1892. During this period he found time also to discharge the duties of receiver of the United States land office at St. Cloud, and to serve as member of the state normal board. It would appear, then, that Mr. Mitchell, both by reason of his long resi dence in Stearns County and of his editorial experience, was preeminently fitted for the task of writing the volumes under review. Moreover, he has had the assistance of many of the prominent men of the county in preparing the general chapters of the work. Among these may be noted chapters 2-6, dealing with the history of Minnesota as a whole during the pre-territorial period, by Dr. P. M. Magnusson, instructor in history and social science in the St. Cloud Normal; a chapter on "The Newspaper Press" by Alvah Eastman of the St. -
