STUBBS'S BAY There was discussion concerning a structure on
Stubb's Bay Road that has been donated to the
City. Members were asked to try and come up
with uses for this structure since it does
have historical value. Discussion of places
which would be appropriate for the building
included: should it be moved to the school
campus area? uses as a library? would
Hennepin County be interested? what would the
cost be to move the structure? should it go
to Bederwood Park? Is there funding available
to renovate the structure? Members were asked
to think of different organizations which
might be willing to donate funds. At the next
meeting, the Commission should consider a
recommendation to the Council as to what
should be done with the donated structure.
The building is on the corner of Stubb's Bay
Road and Watertown Road. It is currently
located on property donated to the University
of Minnesota.

was given to each member. Members were asked
to read it over before the next meeting. Mr.
Surrey Gage, an active member of the Society
will be asked to speak at the next meeting

picture of this groups activities.
