History of house
The house was built in 1939 by Clapp-Thompson Builders. It was owned and built by a Mr. and Mrs. Lind, who only owned it for about a year. In 1941, Fred and Dorothy Sheppard purchased the property. Fred worked for Horner-Waldorf in Saint Paul. Dorothy was an early female athlete at the University of Minnesota. She was a competitive swimmer. Owners of the house also owned entire block between Hamline and Syndicate and from Boland to Beechwood which was undeveloped, This house was the first built on the block. John and Lee Mannillo purchased the property the home was on in 1978. The other parcels were sold off by Fred and Dorothy. John was a developer who owned historic building including the Pioneer, Endicott and Gilbert Buildings in Saint Paul's Lowertown. 1335 Beechwood Place was built with Chicago Brick salvaged from the Chicago Fire in the 1880's. Some Minnesota brickyards still have Chicago Brick inventories. Dorothy and Fred Sheppard installed the first Minnesota back yard Gunite swimming pool in 1953. It was restored in 1882. In 1967, the garage was rebuilt as a summer Livingroom. A new attached garage was built at the same time. That room was remodeled in the year 2000. The kitchen was remodeled in 1980. The house and its pool were used two times as Saint Paul Winter Carnival Treasure Hunt clues over the years. ... Read More Read Less

First gunite pool in Minnesota!
The photos show the construction of the first gunite pool in Minnesota! A gunite pool, also known as a shotcrete pool, is a type of swimming pool construction method that involves the use of concrete and rebar. The term "gunite" is often used to refer to both the dry-mix process and the wet-mix process, which are two techniques used to create pools and other structures. Here's a brief overview of the two processes: Dry-Mix Process: In this method, dry concrete mix (a mixture of sand and cement) is blown through a hose to the construction site, and water is added at the nozzle where it is sprayed onto the steel framework of the pool. This process is typically used less frequently than the wet-mix process. Wet-Mix Process: This is the more common method for constructing gunite pools. In the wet-mix process, a pre-mixed slurry of concrete and water is transported to the construction site via a concrete truck. The slurry is then sprayed onto the steel rebar framework using a high-pressure hose. After application, the wet concrete is troweled and shaped to create the desired pool shape and contours. Gunite pools are known for their durability and flexibility in design. Because the concrete is pneumatically applied, it can be shaped to accommodate various pool shapes and sizes, making it a popular choice for custom-designed pools. The concrete shell is typically finished with plaster, tile, or other materials to give it a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface. One advantage of gunite pools is their longevity and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. However, they may require periodic maintenance and resurfacing over time to keep them in good condition as shown in photos 5 & 6 from 1968. Additionally, gunite pool construction can be more expensive and time-consuming compared to other pool construction methods. Still, many homeowners and builders consider the investment worthwhile due to the customization and durability it offers. ... Read More Read Less
