Silver Cascade in Winter from the Minneapolis Photo Collection in Special Collections at the Minneapolis Central Library.

The cascade is completely frozen. River is still open at right. The Silver Cascade emptied into the Mississippi at about 13th-14th Ave. SE. It was on land owned by the pioneer lumberman Calvin A. Tuttle, and the creek it emptied was called Tuttle’s Creek, or Tuttle’s Brook, that originated in the marshes of the Como neighborhood in SE Minneapolis. Dinkytown and railroad development dried up this creek toward 1900. Part of the creek appears in the 1898 city atlas but by the 1903 city atlas, the creek is gone.
