Saint Mary's University purchases south Minneapolis landmark

$2 million anonymous gift helps fund purchase of Harrington Mansion and Events Center, formerly the Zuhrah Shrine property, on Park Avenue

MINNEAPOLIS – Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota announced today that it has finalized its purchase of the Harrington Mansion and Events Center, located adjacent to the university’s Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs (SGPP) in Minneapolis. Saint Mary’s University plans to use the property, formerly owned by the Zuhrah Shriners, for expansion of its graduate programs, community outreach, and alumni event venues.

“This is an investment both in our campus and in the Twin Cities community,” said Brother William Mann, president of Saint Mary’s University. “Saint Mary’s is expanding to meet our growth in educational offerings. We see this as an investment to not only provide educational access to those who increasingly are excluded from it, but also a commitment to help revitalize the Phillips West neighborhood.”

A growing university
Saint Mary’s University opened its Minneapolis campus at 2500 Park Avenue South in 1984 to focus primarily on graduate education, as well as meeting the needs of adult students through baccalaureate degree completion programs. Saint Mary’s helped pioneer the accelerated programming format and has experienced significant growth over the past few decades. Today Saint Mary’s SGPP is enjoying record enrollment, with more than 4,300 students enrolled.

Saint Mary’s latest expansion is the Harrington Mansion and Events Center purchase, which includes the historic mansion, carriage house, modern events center, and 100 parking spaces, encompassing 1.66 acres at 2540 Park Avenue. The mansion and carriage house consist of 30,000 square feet, and the event center has 54,000 square feet. The purchase significantly increases the size of Saint Mary’s campus footprint on Park Avenue. The purchase price of the properties is $2.75 million. A $2 million gift from an anonymous donor made the purchase possible for Saint Mary’s. Saint Mary’s will begin a campaign to raise funds for renovations of the buildings.

The mansion and carriage house will be used for online learning opportunities, office space, gatherings of alumni and friends, and performing and visual arts space. The center will be used for university events and will continue to be available for public rental. The space is ideal for meetings, corporate functions, and receptions.

Harrington Mansion history
The Harrington Mansion is an Italian Renaissance-style home built in 1902 for the family of Charles Harrington, who owned a grain processing and distribution business. The home’s architects were Frederick Kees and Serenus Colburn, who also designed the Minneapolis Grain Exchange Building and the Loring Theater (now the Music Box Theater).

The Harrington family resided in the mansion from 1902 until 1929. The property was then sold to the Zuhrah Shrine fraternal organization, which owned the property until Saint Mary’s purchased it.

“Zuhrah Shriners enjoyed more than 80 years as a vital part of the Phillips West area of Minneapolis,” said Gary Sibben, Potentate of the Zuhrah Shriners. “Rising costs and declining membership have caused us to look for a more suitable home. We are glad the property will remain an integral part of the area’s revitalization.”

The Harrington Mansion was designated historic by the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission in 1988. This designation protects the external integrity of the historic property while allowing Saint Mary’s to make modern internal renovations.

“We are grateful to the donor for enabling us to make this purchase,” said Brother William. “We are proud to become a part of the rich history of the Harrington Mansion. Saint Mary’s University intends to preserve that history while making the property highly functional for today’s learners and guests.”

FACT SHEET Harrington Mansion and Events Center

Overview

· The Harrington Mansion and Events Center, with the historic mansion, carriage house, modern event center, and 124 parking spaces, encompasses 1.66 acres in South Minneapolis. The mansion and carriage house consist of 30,000 square feet and the event center, built in 1990, has 54,000 square feet.

· The Harrington Mansion was built in 1902 by the Pike and Cook construction firm under the architectural direction of Frederick Kees and Serenus Colburn.

· The Harrington Family resided in the mansion from 1902 until 1929, when the property was sold to the Zuhrah Shrine fraternal organization, which owned the property until 2011.

· The Harrington Mansion was designated historic by the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission in 1988.

· Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota owns the property, which is located next to the university’s Minneapolis campus.

Architectural influences

· Architects Kees and Colburn designed the Harrington residence in the Italian Renaissance style. The architectural team also designed the Minneapolis Grain Exchange Building and the Loring Theater, which is now the Music Box Theater.

· While occupied by the Harringtons, the mansion contained a library, drawing room, dining room, den, kitchen, and servants’ hall; the family’s bedrooms were located on the second floor. A ballroom and auditorium filled the third floor, while billiard and card rooms were housed in the basement.

· Each room on the second floor connects with the one adjoining it, so an entire circuit of the house can be made without entering a hall passageway.

· Owner Charles Harrington brought in artisans from Norway and Sweden to perfect the home’s ornamental décor that can still be seen today.

Harrington Family

· Charles Harrington, a native of New York, moved to Minneapolis to work for George Van Dusen, founder of a grain processing and distribution business that would become the Van Dusen-Harrington Company in 1889. From 1889 to 1928, Charles Harrington served as the company president.

· Charles married Grace Ross, also a native of New York, and together they had one child named Laura. Along with the Harringtons, Mrs. Harrington’s sister, Isabel Ross, and three servants lived at the estate.

Zuhrah Shriners

· September 26, 1872, marked the beginning of the Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (AONMS), which is now known as Shriners International.

· Zuhrah Temple was number 23, chartered in 1886. Today there are 191 temples throughout North America.

· From the beginning, the Shrine was involved with charities. The first Shriners Hospital for Children opened in 1922 and the Twin Cities Unit opened in 1924. Today there are 22 hospitals, 19 orthopedic units, and 3 burn institutes. The services of these hospitals are free to children up to the age of 18 years, regardless of race, religion, or relationship to a Shriner, provided there is a medical need that can be helped.

Zuhrah has had four locations in Minneapolis and moved to its most recent location, 2540 Park Avenue, in 1929. The property was purchased for $25,000, which is less than one-third of today’s property tax burden. Zuhrah Shrine Center has been built and rebuilt twice, but the historic mansion remains intact.

SMU student discovers unknown Lincoln documents

WINONA, Minn. — Saint Mary’s University history student David Spriegel is making national headlines this week for uncovering two original, previously unknown documents written in 1844 by a then up-and-coming lawyer named Abraham Lincoln.

Spriegel of Gurnee, Ill., was on the second week of his summer internship at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill., when he made the discovery.

The following press release was sent by David Blanchette, (217) 558-8970, from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum:

I found two unknown Lincoln documents
on my summer vacation

Presidential Library intern discovers previously unknown documents
written by Abraham Lincoln in 1844

SPRINGFIELD – When the question is asked, “What did you do on your summer vacation,” no one will be able to top one college student’s story.

David Spriegel of Gurnee, Illinois, a student at Saint Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota, was on the second week of a summer internship at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois, when he discovered two original, previously unknown documents written in 1844 by an up-and-coming lawyer named Abraham Lincoln.

“It was really a surprise,” said Spriegel. “I didn’t think it could be true.”

In late May, when he began to organize a four-inch-tall stack of old documents in the Presidential Library’s Manuscripts Department, Spriegel noticed a small inscription on two of them: “The above memorandum is in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln. – M. Hay.” Milton Hay had clerked in the Stuart and Lincoln Law Office as a young man and would have recognized Lincoln’s script. Hay’s notations seem to date from late in his life, perhaps the 1880s.

Spriegel called the discovery to the attention of his supervisor, Glenna Schroeder-Lein, manuscripts librarian at the Presidential Library. She immediately contacted experts with the Papers of Abraham Lincoln project housed at the Library. Daniel Stowell and Stacy McDermott of that project confirmed Lincoln’s handwriting, as did James Cornelius, curator of the Lincoln Collection.

The two documents, bearing no other signature or date, are long lists of small parcels of land being bought and sold amongst a variety of early Springfield settlers, including Ninian Wirt Edwards and William Wallace (both of whom ended up as Lincoln’s brothers-in-law), Stacy Opdycke, Jesse B. Thomas, Stephen T. Logan, and others. The papers lay among several land warrantees that had been donated to the Library by a descendant of one of those settlers.

After some research Cornelius determined that the documents were part of the legal case Opdycke et al. v. Godfrey et al., from Christian County, Illinois, and that the lands in question are west of Taylorville, in that county. McDermott believes that Lincoln likely used these two pages of memoranda to prepare a petition he filed to initiate the case in March 1844. The documents will be available this fall for viewing, alongside those from the 5,600 other Lincoln legal cases, at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln website, www.papersofabrahamlincoln.org.

Meanwhile, the two documents join 1,580 other original Abraham Lincoln manuscripts at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.

This is not the first time that a young student has made such a thrilling discovery. In 1952, 14-year-old Ron Rietveld, a student helper at the Illinois State Historical Library, the forerunner of the Lincoln Presidential Library, discovered the only existing original photograph of Lincoln lying in his coffin following his assassination. Rietveld later became a professor of history at California State University – Fullerton, where he had a student, Glenna Schroeder-Lein, the same woman who is supervising Spriegel on his summer 2011 internship at the Presidential Library.

“I never dreamed that my summer internship would bring me into direct contact with an original, previously unknown Lincoln document,” Spriegel said. “I’m happy that the discovery will increase our knowledge of Lincoln’s legacy.”

Mary Lou (Black '76) Scheid
Lasallian Service
Bloomington, Minn.

It has been the lifelong goal of Mary Lou (Black ’76) Scheid and her husband Stephen Scheid ’76 to volunteer in a Third World country after they retired. Sadly, because of Stephen’s sudden and untimely death, they were unable to carryout their dream together. Undaunted, Mary Lou and her 11-year-old son studied Spanish and moved to Antigua, Guatemala. For three years, Mary Lou served as a surgical nurse and Spanish interpreter. She worked with teams of doctors from the United States, Europe and Canada on a variety of surgeries including orthopedic, cleft lip and palate, hysterectomies and cataract. Mary Lou returned to the United States a few years ago but continues to make several trips each year back to Guatemala with medical teams from the Twin Cities.

James '91 & Molly (Crosby '91) Cave
Lasallian Service
St. Paul, Minn.

Together, James ’91 and Molly (Crosby ’91) Cave are living examples of Lasallian service. Molly, a social worker, community volunteer and advocate for women, uses love and compassion to advocate and empower people in the Twin Cities. Molly was also instrumental in the St. Paul Paint the Pavement program, which promotes community building and “peacemaking” through creating neighborhood art. James is a Catholic schoolteacher and a coach who is a leader and national speaker on Social Justice, Genocide, and the Rwandan Genocide. James leads educational trips for high school students to Rwanda annually. Recently the Caves invited a young man from Rwanda into their home so he could attend junior and high school in the United States. The Caves practice what they preach, and live the lives that most others only talk about.
