"Neighborhoods vie for historic status: Minneapolis is taking stock of historic sites, including some near the University campus."By Evelina Smirnitskaya, Minnesota Daily, March 7, 2011excerpt - Michael Trittipo has spent roughly a quarter of a century in his home in Southeast Como. The house on 19th Avenue Southeast does not stand out among other buildings, and from the outside, it looks like "just another house on the street" he says. But for Trittipo, and the neighborhood as a whole, it has a very special value. Hubert H. Humphrey, who went on to become a U.S. senator and later vice president, lived at 890 19th Ave. SE while he was mayor of Minneapolis in the mid-1940s. . . . |
