The Kenosha,
1204 Harmon Place, Minneapolis
Harmon Place has experienced several transformations over the past century. When The Kenosha was constructed as a residential hotel in 1907, Harmon Place was a haven from bustling Hennepin Avenue, a block away. In the 1920s, auto-related businesses like showrooms, repairs, and parts began to locate along the street, so by the 1950s, Harmon Place was the place to go when you wanted to buy a new car. After dealerships followed the expanding regional population out to the suburbs, the area lost its distinct identity, other than as the location of Billy Graham's international ministries. Perception changed once again in the 1970s, when Loring housing redevelopment and the expanding community college led to hundreds of millions of dollars in public and private investment. By today, Harmon Place has become a richly textured area, additionally associated with the University of St. Thomas and Walker Art Center, an array of distinctive restaurants, and of course the original, historic area feature, Loring Park.
