US GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1993 O - 350-416 QL 3 NFS Form 10900-a 0MB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Glen Lake Children's Camp Section number 7 Page 1 Hennepin County, Minnesota Description The Glen Lake Children's Camp is located on the eastern shore of Birch Island Lake, off Indian Chief Road, in the City of Eden Prairie, roughly fifteen miles west of Minneapolis. The Camp was originally located on the grounds of Glen Lake Sanatorium, a Hennepin County facility built for the treatment of tuberculosis. Constructed to the south of the main sanatorium complex, the property consists of a discrete parcel of land defined by Birch Island Lake to the west, a wetland to the north, and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad tracks to the south. The camp is sited on the crest of a hill that rises gently from the east but which drops sharply to the shore of the lake. The site is approached from the east by an unpaved single-lane road which dates to the construction of the camp. As the road rises up the hill and passes a stone entrance monument, the camp's most prominent buildings come into view; the Dining Hall and Dormitory which extend across the length of the hillside overlooking the lake. A garage near the Dining Hall also dates from the period of significance. The camp's buildings are set amid a picturesque grove of oak, maple, and basswood trees. The area around the buildings as well as the central portion of the site are carpeted with Kentucky bluegrass while the perimeter remains a mixed-growth woods. Two buildings from the modern era, which are essentially residences, are located to the north of the Dormitory. Two other modern buildings, a garage and a building which provides space for recreation, are located to the southeast of the Dining Hall. In addition, the site includes a set of swings, several picnic tables, as well as a concrete paved court for basketball and shuffleboard, none of which are described separately within the nomination.
