Construction of Sacred Heart Chapel, St. Benedict's Monastery (October 21, 1912). An enclosed cloister walk was constructed to connect the second level of the south side of the chapel to the second level of Teresa Hall at the college. An enclosed cloister walk connecting the second level of the north side of the chapel to Marmion Hall (formation house) was also in the plans. Because later photographs show this south court area without a cloister walk, it may be assumed that the construction workers had to remove the cloister walk shown in progress in this photograph, probably to give more space for the ensuing construction work. However, photographs of early 1914 show that the enlosed north and south cloister walks were added to the chapel immediately upon the completion of the chapel.

Glen Lake Farm School for Boys; Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Home
Date Created:
1912
Description:
In 1907 the legislature of Minnesota made provision for a Detention Home in Hennepin county, under the joint direction of the Judge of the District Court and the Board of County Commissioners. Judge John Day Smith, who first stirred public sentiment to the necessity of a home for boys, was assigned to the Juvenile Court work, which also included the location and equipment of the home. Ninety-two acres of land were bought, and a ten-room farm house, barns and outbuildings were soon remodeled, made modern and ready for occupancy in February, 1909, when the first boys arrived. Contents of this year include: board of managers (including photos); maintenance; expenditures; roll of admission/release; justification and organizational structure; equipment, crops, and stock; daily schedule; map; backgrounds, offenses and/or dependency, nativity, and ages of boys; dining room; government; education, discipline, and religious instruction; library; letters; parental demographics; amusements; Boys' Friends (male and female volunteers/benefactors); photos of grounds and of boys at work/play.
