ABOUT THOSE PHOTO ALBUMS
From the Re-Echo, June 2007

Over the years we have created several photo albums of streets – mostly those with commercial and industrial buildings. Next to current pictures of the buildings we have copies of older pictures, many taken in the 1950s. And in many cases, there are ads for businesses, taken out of old St. Louis Park phone books. A set of index cards correspond to each book, recording past and present occupants. Some of the streets are: Excelsior Blvd., Minnetonka Blvd., Lake Street, Walker Street, and Highways 7 and 100. There are also books for various streets in the Brookside neighborhood. These books are kept at Lenox and are available during office hours or by appointment.
