The Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator is the world's first known cylindrical concrete grain elevator. It was built from 1899 to 1900 in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, United States, as an experiment to prove the design was viable. It was an improvement on wooden elevators that were continually at risk of catching fire or even exploding. Its cylindrical concrete design became the industry standard in the United States, revolutionizing grain storage practices. After its initial experiments, the Peavey–Haglin Elevator was never again used to store grain. Since the late 1960s it has been maintained on the grounds of the Nordic Ware company and is painted with their name and logo.The Peavey–Haglin Elevator was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, proclaimed a National Historic Landmark in 1981, and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1983.

St. Louis Park is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 50,010 at the 2020 census. It is a first-ring suburb immediately west of Minneapolis. Other adjacent cities include Edina, Golden Valley, Minnetonka, Plymouth, and Hopkins. The Pavek Museum of Broadcasting, which has a major collection of antique radio and television equipment, is also in the city. Items range from radios produced by local manufacturers to the Vitaphone system used to cut discs carrying audio for the first "talkie", The Jazz Singer. The Coen brothers set their 2009 film A Serious Man in St. Louis Park c. 1967. It was important to the Coens to find a neighborhood of original-looking suburban rambler homes as they would have appeared in St. Louis Park in the mid-1960s, and after careful scouting they opted to film scenes in a neighborhood of nearby Bloomington, as well as at St. Louis Park's B'nai Emet Synagogue, which was later sold and converted into a school.

Morningside is a distinct geographical and architectural neighborhood in Edina, Minnesota. Morningside is an old streetcar suburb adjacent to Minneapolis' Linden Hills neighborhood. Morningside, which is located along the old Como-Harriet Streetcar Line, grew faster than Edina, which is mostly rural. Morningside residents voted in 1920 to secede from Edina and form their own village in order to provide amenities more suited to a professional streetcar suburb. Morningside's residential landscape reflects several important broad themes in the pattern of suburban development in the Twin Cities area: the relatively high population density per square mile within the platted subdivisions, the architectural similarity of the houses, and reliance on mass-transit. Morningside developers built several hundred new single–family homes, including many bungalows, on standard-sized suburban lots along straight-line streets between about 1905 and 1936, replacing land previously occupied by farm fields and orchards. The children of Jonathan Grimes, who inherited the Grimes farm and apple orchard in the village's northeast corner, platted the Morningside neighborhood for residential development in 1905. Grimes Avenue cuts through the neighborhood in a north-south direction. The Jonathan Taylor Grimes House on West 44th Street was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. George Weber was a well-known figure in the village early on. In 1929, the mayor of Morningside asked the school janitor, 55-year-old George Weber, to be the village marshal. He initially turned down the job, but the council voted him in anyway. Weber remained in charge of Morningside for the next 27 years. With the retirement of Weber in 1956, the Edina Village Police began providing police protection to the Village of Morningside. It wasn't until 1960 that the first black family moved into the Morningside neighborhood, where they were met with an anti-immigrant campaign. The family was supported by a fairness petition signed by 251 Morningside residents, demonstrating that the majority of the community was not prejudiced. Morningside's police station was located at 4400 Branson Street and was run by Weber's wife. His responsibilities also included water meter reading and census taking. On the first and third Monday evenings of each month, court was held in the Edina Grange Hall. Weber is commemorated by a park in the Morningside neighborhood. Morningside remained a separate village for 46 years, until 1966, when it was reincorporated into the larger City of Edina in response to state pressure. Citizens of Morningside voted to rejoin Edina, owing in part to the impracticality of building a sewage infrastructure for such a small municipality. Morningside's previous autonomy is still visible in the 55416 Zip Code that it shares with neighboring Minneapolis and St. Louis Park, as well as in the water system, which is linked to the City of Minneapolis water department. Even today, Morningside has a distinct personality from the rest of Edina. When comparing the Morningside/Minneapolis intersection at 44th and France to the Edina/Minneapolis intersection at 50th and France, such a contrast can be seen in less than six blocks. The Morningside name can still be found in community organizations, roads, and businesses today. Though the neighborhood is part of Edina, one of its distinguishing features is its independence. It has approximately 750 homes. That independence is fostered in part by the neighborhood's cohesive relationships, which are formed as a result of the many events and organizations that are endemic to the area. The Morningside Babysitting Cooperative has been around for nearly a century and still keeps track of its members' shared hours of child care. The Morningside Woman's Club, formerly known as the Morningside Literary Club, was founded in 1937. Morningside has an active Neighborhood Association that provides a voice at City Hall to represent the neighborhood's unique needs and values. A Morningside men's group called, the Morningside Athletic Club (MAC), meets every Saturday morning at Weber Park for sports activity, such as soccer, football and ice boot hockey.

The Minikahda Club is a private country club in southwest Minneapolis, Minnesota. The club is located just west of Bde Maka Ska and is the oldest country club west of the Mississippi River. The clubhouse, which is situated on a high hill, overlooks the lake and has expansive views of the surrounding area and the Minneapolis skyline. Established in 1898 by a group of wealthy Minneapolis families, the club’s golf course, named one of the top 100 classic golf courses in the United States by Golfweek, has been host to several golf tournaments including the U.S. Open in 1916, the U.S. Amateur in 1927, and the Walker Cup in 1957.

The 1916 U.S. Open was the 22nd U.S. Open, held June 29–30 at Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Amateur Chick Evans led wire-to-wire and set a new U.S. Open scoring record to win his only U.S. Open title, two strokes ahead of runner-up Jock Hutchison.There were 94 entries and on-site qualifying was held and only the defending champion was exempt. Qualifying was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, and each day half the field played 36 holes for 32 places in the starting field of 64.Evans opened the championship on Thursday with rounds of 70-69, the first in history to break 140 in the first two rounds of a U.S. Open. He led by three over Wilfrid Reid, who went out of contention after a 79 (+7) in the third round. Evans carded a 74 to maintain his three-shot advantage after 54 holes, with Jim Barnes as the nearest pursuer. After a double-bogey at the fourth hole, Evans recovered with a birdie at the next and matched Barnes through the front nine. At the par-5 12th, Evans found the green in two shots and two-putted for a birdie. He finished with a round of 73 to Barnes' 74. Hutchison, nine back after two rounds, moved up to second place with a 68 (−4), the lowest score to date in the final round of a U.S. Open. As the top professional, he took home the winner's share of the purse. Evans' total of 286 established a new U.S. Open scoring record that stood for two decades, until 1936. Three months later, he won the U.S. Amateur championship at Merion near Philadelphia and became the first to win both titles in the same year. Evans won the U.S. Amateur again in 1920. Like previous editions, this U.S. Open was scheduled for just two days, at 36 holes each. Not held in 1917 and 1918 due to World War I, it resumed in 1919 and was stretched to three days, with 18 holes on each of the first two days and 36 holes on the third. It reverted to the two-day format in 1920, then went to the three-day schedule in 1926.
