Casa de George W. Baird

La Casa George W. Baird es una casa en Edina, Minnesota, Estados Unidos, construida en 1886 por un agricultor prominente en la comunidad de Edina Mills. La casa originalmente era parte de un 120 acres (48,6 ha) granja.​ La casa fue incluida en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1980 por tener importancia local en arquitectura, agricultura y asentamiento.​ Arquitectura La casa tiene dos plantas y está construida al estilo Eastlake . Presenta una silueta distintiva, con múltiples formas de tejado, buhardillas, una torre cuadrada y altas chimeneas de ladrillo. El amplio porche delantero tiene postes y balaustres de madera, con un frontón sobre la entrada. El exterior está adornado con molduras de piedra en las ventanas, travesaños, tejas de madera festoneadas en los hastiales y cornisas. Fue diseñada por el destacado arquitecto de Minneapolis, Charles S. Sedgwick.​ La casa es significativa por su arquitectura, aunque no es un ejemplo sobresaliente de una casa Eastlake diseñada por Charles Sedgwick en comparación con otras casas.​ (Sedgwick también diseñó otras propiedades incluidas en el Registro Nacional, como la Casa George R. Newell y la Iglesia Presbiteriana Westminster en Minneapolis, y el First National Bank y la Casa Nehemiah P. Clarke en St. Cloud, Minnesota.) Historia Además de su valor arquitectónico, la casa evoca las raíces agrícolas de Edina. El propietario, George W. Baird, se mudó de Pensilvania a Minnesota en 1857 y compró una granja en la zona de Edina Mills. Baird fue un promotor de prácticas agrícolas científicas y pionero en la cría de ganado, y se le atribuye la introducción de las primeras ovejas merinas en Minnesota.​ Baird y su esposa Sarah ayudaron a fundar el Minnehaha Grange Hall en 1873 y ambos ejercieron como maestros de la Grange en diferentes momentos. Sarah Baird también dirigió la Grange estatal durante 18 años.​ En 1936, 80 acres (32,4 ha) de la granja fueron parcelados como el Distrito del Club del Condado, que a su vez está incluido en el Registro Nacional. La casa está en un excelente estado de conservación, gracias a la atención de los propietarios actuales y anteriores. La casa recibió 3500 pies cuadrados (32 516,1 dm²) adición en 2002–2003 que no desmerece la apariencia original cuando se observa desde West 50th Street.​ Referencias
Gethsemane Episcopal Church (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Gethsemane Episcopal Church is an historic church in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the oldest extant churches in Minneapolis and is significant for its Gothic Revival architecture. Architect Edward Stebbins modeled the church on small Gothic style churches in rural England. It is proportioned rather broadly, as opposed having tall proportions, which is rather unusual for churches designed in the late 19th century. The area surrounding the church was primarily residential when it was first built, but it is now surrounded by commercial development. In 1895, Gethsemane was the main location of the first Episcopal Church General Convention west of the Mississippi River. Faced with reduced membership and financial struggle, the final Sunday morning service at Gethsemane occurred in November 2019. The church had reported 77 members in 2017 and 30 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $0.00 with average Sunday attendance (ASA) of zero persons.

Gold Medal Park

Gold Medal Park is a 7.5-acre (3.0 ha) park in the Downtown East neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Opened in May 2007, the park was designed by landscape architect Tom Oslund and is owned by the city of Minneapolis. It takes its inspiration from the Native American mounds found throughout Minnesota, and its name from Gold Medal flour, a product of General Mills. It consists of a 32-foot-high (9.8 m) mound, reached by a spiral walkway rising out of a green lawn with 300 trees. The park, just east of the Guthrie Theater, gives the Mill District neighborhood some rare green space. Built on a strip of land next to the Guthrie Theater and the Mississippi River, the park features specially designed luminescent benches, a prominent 32-foot (9.8 m) mound, and mature trees brought in from as far away as New Jersey. Starting in 2007, the William W. and Nadine M. McGuire Family Foundation leased the land for 10 years from the city of Minneapolis and the Guthrie, each of which owns about half the property. In 2014, the Gold Medal Park Conservancy purchased the majority of the parkland owned by the Guthrie, then secured a 50-year lease for the rest of the land, owned by the City of Minneapolis. Across the street from the park and adjacent to the river is Remembrance Garden, a tribute to the victims of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse. It was dedicated on August 1, 2011, the fourth anniversary of the collapse. Art In February 2015, the Walker Art Center loaned a number of sculptures from the institution’s collection on view in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden to the Weisman Art Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Gold Medal Park. This was announced as temporary, but has become permanent, with sculptures still on view in Gold Medal Park as of 2025.

Gonda Building

The Gonda Building is a medical building owned by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and designed by Pelli Clarke Architects (formerly Cesar Pelli & Associate) and Ellerbe Becket Architects and Engineers. It rises 305 feet (93 m) in 21 floors, and was completed in 2001. At the time it was the tallest building in Rochester, and was surpassed in 2004 by Broadway Plaza. The Gonda building was the largest building project in the Mayo Clinic's history, the Leslie & Susan Gonda Building was constructed in three phases to a height of 21 stories. A fourth phase is planned for completion in the 2020s. Located at the heart of the campus, Gonda is the centerpiece of Mayo's integrated practice. The outside of the Gonda building displays Brazilian white granite. In 2018, the Mayo Clinic announced a $190 million expansion of the Gonda Building which will add 11 stories to its height, including four new floors of clinical space and a seven-story hotel expected to be completed in 2022, bringing its expected total height to nearly 500 feet, making it again- by far- the tallest building in the city. However, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mayo Clinic and developer Pontiac Land Group placed the project on indefinite hold. The Gonda Building is physically conjoined on its South side to the Mayo Building although the floors do not match perfectly.

"Arvid" Heed to transport iron ore miners in Minnesota. By 1918, the company had 18 vehicles and merged with Ralph Bogan to form the Mesaba Transportation Company. Wickman later expanded the company to various locations and eventually rebranded it as The Greyhound Corporation in 1930. Museum history The museum was established in September 1989 by Gene Nicolelli, a local resident who discovered a plaque honoring Hibbing as the birthplace of the bus industry in an abandoned Greyhound terminal.

Gustavus Adolphus College

Das Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter (Minnesota) ist eine private, nicht-profitorientierte Universität, ein Liberal-Arts-College mit einer schwedisch-lutherischen Tradition. Sie wurde 1862 durch aus Schweden stammende Einwanderer gegründet und ist mit der Evangelical Lutheran Church in America verbunden. Im Herbst 2020 waren an der Hochschule 2.230 Studierende eingeschrieben, die alle auf den ersten Abschluss hinarbeiteten. 59 % waren weibliche und 41 % männliche Studierende. Geschichte Die Vorgängereinrichtung wurde 1862 als lutherische Pfarrschule gegründet, die zunächst nur Schulklassen anbot als Minnesota Elementarskola. 1865 wurde die Einrichtung am 1000. Todestag des Heiligen Ansgar, des „Apostels des Nordens“, umbenannt in St. Ansgar’s Academy. Im April 1873 wurde das College wieder umbenannt in Gustavus Adolphus Literary & Theological Institute zu Ehren von König Gustav II. Adolf von Schweden. Erst 1876 wurde das College in den jetzigen Ort St. Peter verlagert, wo das erste Campusgebäude Old Main erbaut wurde. Die jährliche Nobel-Konferenz wurde Mitte der 1960er Jahre etabliert, als eine Alfred Nobel Hall of Science zu Ehren von Alfred Nobel gebaut wurde. Den Namen unterstützte das schwedische Nobelkomitee, dessen Vertreter auch zur Eröffnung mit 26 Preisträgern kamen. Daraus entstand die Tradition einer Konferenz, die zuerst im Januar 1965 stattfand. Bisher haben 56 Konferenzen mit hochkarätigen Referenten stattgefunden. Seit 1994 bietet die Rydell Professorship, eine Stiftungsprofessur, hochrangigen Wissenschaftlern aller Fächer und Schriftstellern, darunter Nobelpreisträger wie zuletzt 2010 Derek Walcott, die Möglichkeit, am College zu lehren. Auf dem Campus befindet sich auch das von einem Alumnus gegründete Hillstrom Museum of Art mit einer Sammlung vorwiegend von US-amerikanischen Künstlern aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert (Grant Wood, John French Sloan, Kenneth Hayes Miller, William Glackens). Studienangebot Das lutherisch ausgerichtete Gustavus Adolphus College stärkt seine Studenten, um in einer gerechten und friedvollen Welt zu arbeiten. Sie wählen aus über 70 Programmen in 25 akademischen Abteilungen, zum Beispiel Physik, Classics, Theologie, Skandinavistik etc. Dazu gehören auch die geschätzten Angebote in Kunst/Kunstgeschichte, Musik, Drama und Tanz. Die Schule bietet eine alternative interdisziplinäre Allgemeinbildung an, das als Three Crowns Curriculum bekannt ist.

Gustavus Adolphus College

Gustavus Adolphus College, ursprungligen svenskamerikanskt och evangelisk-lutherskt college, numera beläget i St. Peter i Nicollet County, Minnesota och uppkallat efter svenske kungen Gustav II Adolf. Dess upprinnelse var en "kristlig folkhögskola", som 1862 genom beslut av Minnesotakonferensens av Augustanasynoden upprättades av svenske immigranten pastor Eric Norelius i Red Wing, Minnesota för att tillgodose behovet av lärare i engelska och svenska språken inom församlingarna. Denna skola, som efter hand utvecklades beträffande kurserna, kallades en tid Minnesota Elementar Schola. År 1863 flyttades den till Carver och 1865 fick den namnet St. Ansgar's Academy. Under Carver-perioden var medelantalet elever 54. När skolan 1876 flyttades till St Peter, Minnesota, ändrades namnet till det nuvarande, på samma gång som kurserna ökades. År 1885 blev skolan "college". Med detta förenades handels- och musikskola (sedan 1887) och normalskola (sedan 1893). Studentantalet på alla avdelningar uppgick 1906 till 370. Lärarkåren var samma år 32 personer. Idag är skolan ett fristående college, en privat internatskola, finansierad med avgifter och donationer. Bland styrelseledamöterna finns Åke Bonnier (2010). Universitetsbiblioteket är namngivet efter Folke Bernadotte.
