The monthly series of St. Anthony Park history and architecture presentations resumes for a third year at St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church, 2323 Como Ave.
The first talk of the season is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, at the church. Kristin Anderson, an Augsburg University professor emirita, will lead a discussion on the architectural works of Edwin Lundie, much admired for his creativity and craftsmanship.
Lundie designed homes that were customized for individual clients and were sensitively fit into their specific sites. Famous for the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and the Lutsen Resort, as well as for cabins in northern Minnesota, Lundie also designed many houses for neighborhoods around the Twin Cities, including St. Anthony Park and adjoining University Grove.
Anyone unable to attend the history talk in person can view the presentation online, with a recording available for one week following Oct. 8. Use the SAPLC YouTube channel at bit.ly/Sap-history.
