Full Resident Timeline Overview
See the visual timeline for a quick overview of all homeowners, and download the attached document for the full, detailed timeline researched by HouseNovel Historian Catherine using Minneapolis City Directories. Albert Page was the first resident of 1601 W 22 St, but remarkably Nels Beim and his wife Marie occupied the home for 35 years after the Pages moved out. Also note that no city directory listings were found for the home from 1965 through 1969, after it was donated to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church following Mr. Beim’s death in 1965 and Mrs. Beim’s relocation to a nursing home, where she passed in 1967.

No Racial Covenant Found on Just Deeds Map
On the Just Deeds map, the blue pin marks 1601 West 22nd Street, and the absence of any green shading beneath or around the parcel indicates that no racial (discriminatory) covenant is currently recorded for this property. Map legend: Green — Property where a racial covenant has been identified Gray/uncolored — No covenant found (the entire Twin Cities region has already been mapped) Blue — Your search marker, not an indicator of covenant status Because this property appears unshaded, Just Deeds data confirms that no restrictive covenant is recorded in its historical property documents. If you or someone you know owns a property that does have a restrictive covenant, the Just Deeds Project can help remove it at no cost. Visit JustDeeds.org for details on how to discharge a racial covenant from a property record.

Historic photo mislabeled as 1611 W 22nd St
This photograph was originally labeled by the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections as House at 1611 22nd Street West, part of a 1991 survey of the Lake of the Isles district within the East Isles Neighborhood. However, based on architectural comparison and confirmation from the current homeowner, the image accurately depicts 1601 W 22nd Street, Minneapolis, MN, not 1611. The mislabeling appears in the Robert C. Mack Collection (photographers Melody Devine, Kim Kinzler, and Mark Ostrom; donor Robert Mack). Attribution: “Hennepin County Library.” Date reflects the photo’s creation (1991-04-21); location has been corrected here for historical accuracy.

Building Permit Microfiche Data
By the 1970s, historic data for building permits which had been stored on typewritten paper index cards were transferred to microfiche data. A major benefit to microform data is that much less physical storage is needed. Building permit information for 1601 W 22nd St. from 1971 to 1989 were stored in this way.

1601 and the Other House
In 1980, Bruce and Caroline Carlson bought 1601 W 22nd St, which was on a larger lot than it is now. However, the Carlsons were not interested in 1601; they were interested in the land. So they sold the house on a smaller plot (to Herb Pilhofer), and built themselves a new house that is currently 1611 W 22nd St. This story that was featured in the Star Tribune focuses mostly on 1611, but also details the process of buying and selling 1601.

Downs and Eads, Architects
The original building permit for 1601 W 22nd St. includes an estimated completion date of March 1, 1921 and cost of $22,000. The architectural firm is listed as Downs and Eads. From 1889 to 1894 Harry T. Downs worked for the Minneapolis firm of Long & Kees before entering private practice until 1905. That year he formed a partnership with Harold H. Eads which lasted until Downs' retirement due to illness in 1928. Eads continued in private practice. The firm of Downs and Eads was known for not only for residences in the Minneapolis area but commercial and religious architecture as well. Prominent buildings designed by the firm include historic properties such as Fire Station #28 (pictured, built 1914), the 4751 Fremont Ave S. (built 1910), and the Joyce Memorial Methodist Church (pictured, built 1907). The firm often employed designs using a Revival architectural style for their buildings, but the home at 1601 W 22nd St. uses a style known as Prairie architecture.

Architect Record - Original Construction
The home at 1601 West 22nd Street was originally designed by Downes & Eads, a Minneapolis architectural firm active in the early 20th century, for owner A.A. Page. The City of Minneapolis Plan Index Card lists the project as a two-story residence with a full basement. Plans were approved on August 4, 1920, marking the completion of design and permitting for the home’s construction. The record notes that the architectural drawings were removed from the plan vault collection before its transfer to the University of Minnesota archives.

Sanborn Map 1912 : Empty Lots
In 1912 the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Company published its first map of the area of the future 1601 W 22 St. in Minneapolis. The house had not been built--in fact most of the area still consisted of vacant lots.

Indigenous Lands, Languages & Treaties
Before 1601 West 22nd Street was built, this land was part of the traditional territory of the Dakȟóta (Western Dakota), Dakȟóta (Eastern Dakota), and Lakȟótiyapi (Lakota) peoples, collectively known as the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires). It also has ties to the Wahpekute band and falls within Cession 289, one of the land cessions between the United States and Dakota nations. These nations lived, traveled, and spoke the Lakȟótiyapi (Lakota) language throughout this region long before Minneapolis was established. A map outlining the related territories, languages, and treaties is attached for reference.
