St. Anthony Park History Series: Clarence Johnston in St. Anthony Park

  • St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church 2323 Como Avenue Saint Paul, MN, 55108 United States (map)

In the volume and variety of his work, Clarence Johnston (1859-1936) still stands as Minnesota’s most prolific architect. In and near St. Anthony Park, Clarence Johnson and his firm are represented in many types, from homes and schools to institutional, business, and religious spaces. We will see a couple of houses on Hillside and Knapp, one designed by Johnston and another by his son, Clarence Johnston, Jr., and we will look at other Johnston buildings, past and present, including a few churches, an Art Deco building on University Avenue, a lost school addition, an unrealized plan for the Breck School, and buildings at the St. Paul Campus and on the State Fairgrounds.

Attend in person or access the live presentation at the St. Anthony Park Lutheran YouTube channel. A recording of the presentation will be available at the youtube channel for one week after the event.

Free and open to the public: presented as a gift to the community by St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church.
