Cars, Cars, and More Cars

Zoom into the photo above, from 1967, and you'll see cars parked sometimes eight cars deep, packed into surface parking lots like sardines. (Presumably parking attendants were managing the movement of cars in and out of these lots throughout the day.) Parking and traffic congestion had been a problem in downtown Minneapolis since at least the 1940s and was still a major concern in 1969 when the above report was published. When much of the Gateway was demolished in the late 1950s and early 60s ("urban renewal"!), a lot of land was converted to parking lots. But with more parking spots came even more cars driving downtown. Newly built highways were improving speedy access to downtown and a comprehensive public transit plan, from the newly formed Metropolitan Transit Commission, was still in the works. Cars primarily got people where they were going.

Much of downtown remained a sea of parking lots for decades. Browse over 1,400 photos of parking lots in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections. Find parking studies from the 1940s to the early 2000s in the Minneapolis History Collection on the 4th floor of Central Library.

The Story of a City Block

In the recent announcement of the upcoming demolition of the now-vacant Wells Fargo Operations Center for future construction of a set residential towers, it was pointed out that the project will be called “Harmonia” after the one time “Harmonia Hall” that stood on part of the block (StarTribune, 9/15/2022). An elegant building constructed by the local German community to serve as a venue for its musical and socials events and activities, it actually spent most of its existence as a hotel. Even in in the 19th century most of the block was populated with various hotels, catering to business generated by the nearby Milwaukee Road Depot, a train station. Hotels included the Tremont House (1880s), National Hotel (1910s), and Summit Hotel (1940s).

By the 1950s, the block had become seedy. Business fell with the decline of passenger rail traffic and the surviving hotels had been converted to “rooming houses” for the male population of Minneapolis’ Skid Row. Harmonia Hall became the Rex Hotel (below).

The block (along with 19 others) was demolished in the early 1960s as part of the massive Gateway Renewal Project. The messianic enthusiasms of that effort resulted mostly in parking lots for decades afterwards. This block was no exception (below).

The current Operations Center building went up in the early 1980s under the name of Norwest Bank. Here it is under construction (below).

Later becoming the Wells Fargo Operations Center after the bank merger. The completed building is pictured at top.

After some 40 years, this building, described by Larry Millet as “untainted by charm”, will be consumed by some wrecking company and the block will move on to its next incarnation, scheduled to be completed in 2026.
