Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

  • Fresh Thoughts on Public Theology: the Discourse of Nineteenth-Century Unitarian Women
    Fresh Thoughts on Public Theology: The Discourse of Nineteenth-Century Unitarian Women Only two women authors were published in the first series of 300 tracts published by the American Unitarian Association (AUA) from 1827-1858. The well known author Mrs. Anna Letitia Aikin Barbauld (1743-1825) of London was published posthumously in 1827 and credited as “Mrs. Barbauld.” The first tract written by Mrs. Dorcas Hiller Cleveland (1773-1850) of Massachusetts was also published in 1827 and included no author credit. In subsequent works she was identified only as “the author of a Dialogue on Providence, Faith, and Prayer,” her first tract. When an index of the first series was published in the early twentieth century, Cleveland was listed as the author of five tracts and credited as “Mrs. Cleveland.” Both women were involved in the formal education of young men and women and were influential among well- known romantic authors, acting especially as mentor to young women writers. The use of dialogue in theological discourse as is exemplified in their work and educational theories changed the way women of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries engaged in liberal theological discourse. In addition to her theological essay, Discourse on Being Born Again, published in the AUA’s collection, Barbauld's writings included radical political and abolitionist essays as well as hymns, poems, essays and sermons that focused on a Christian faith that was inclusive and experientially based. Cleveland's series of five interwoven dialogues emphasized a mother’s influence on her husband’s and son’s religious discernment. In an accessible and engaging style, Cleveland makes a case for liberal Christianity as a “third way” between Calvinism and deism.1 Both women were pioneers in educational reform and treated the theme of children's experience of God and the world as paramount.

Murray 2015 Abstract In 1883, the Minneapolis Park Board commissioned Horace Cleveland to develop a system of parks. Cleveland delivered more than lines on a map. He urged Minneapolitans to recognize the important roles that aesthetics and environment played in developing a successful city. This became part of a foundational ethos for civic leaders and social reformers who worked to cultivate an identity for Minneapolis as a beautiful city that would, by design, evade the slums and overcrowding of older cities and to set it apart from all others.

  • Becketwood Neighborhood Letter Layout 1
    Welcome to Our Neighborhood WELCOME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD This guide is intended to help orient you to the services and resources available in the community surrounding Becketwood. We hope it will be particularly helpful for those of you who might not be familiar with our part of South Minneapolis. 1 THE LONGFELLOW COMMUNITY: YESTERDAY AND TODAY Community Overview Becketwood is situated at the eastern edge of Minneapolis’s Longfellow Community, a corner of the city bounded by Minnehaha Park on the South, the Mississippi River on the East, the Midtown Greenway on the North and Hiawatha Avenue on the West. The community is named for the 19th century American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who located his “Song of Hiawatha” at the waterfalls in Minnehaha Park. Much of Longfellow was developed during the teens and twenties of the last century. Today the area still has a large stock of modest but well-built story and half bungalows from that era. Street signs marking Longfellow’s boundaries identify the area as a “traditional bungalow community.” Initially, Longfellow was a working class district with a heavily Scandinavian cast. Today, the community is home to young families from diverse backgrounds who are attracted to the area’s natural amenities, its convenient inner-city location and its affordable Craftsman- style housing stock. The western edge of Longfellow is primarily industrial, with a string of flour mills lining the railroad tracks just to the east of Hiawatha Avenue. The Light Rail Transit line (LRT) to the west of Hiawatha is changing the character of that corridor as new high density residential developments are built adjacent to the LRT stations.
