3700 Cedar Lake Ave Home History
1959 and later

A residential complex for the elderly, founded in 1888 and now occupying one of the oldest building sites on Cedar Lake.

LOST 2 This was the site of the Oak Grove House, a resort hotel built in 1870. Located only a few blocks from the tracks of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad, the octagonal three-story hotel offered its patrons a large open porch with vistas of the lake. Its original owners-Reverend Ebenezer Scott and his wife, Gertrude-sold the property in the 1880s to Edward Jones. Later, Jones's mother-in-law, Jane T. Harrison, left a bequest to establish a home for women in the old hotel, which stood until 1892, when it was replaced by a larger building.
