6 Red Cedar Ln, Minneapolis, MN, USA
6 Red Cedar Ln Home History John Jager, 1904 / later additions and renovations As designed and built by John Jager, this was a rather spartan house rising from a wide boulder base to a smaller second floor with an open, south-facing porch. Over the years the house has been enlarged, stuccoes over on its up- per floors, and otherwise modified. Jager, who lived here until his death in 1959, had a varied career. He designed the superb St. Bernard's Church in St. Paul (1906), prepared a 1905 city plan for Minneapolis, worked as an engineer for the architectural firm of Hewitt and Brown, and later organized and maintained a vast archives, now at the University of Minnesota, documenting the work of William Purcell and George Elmslie. Despite his achievements, Jager died a bitter man, believing his work had never been properly appreciated. Citation: Millett, Larry. AIA Guide to the Minneapolis Lake District.
