Lake Street Sash & Door Company is a former factory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a complex of three buildings located between Hiawatha Avenue and railroad tracks built by the Milwaukee Road, spanning the block between 40th Street and 41st Street. The factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 as the only remaining millwork company along the Hiawatha Avenue corridor. The company was organized in 1916 or 1917, as reported by different articles. Its first building was at 3016 4th Avenue South, but the founder, Helmar Knudsen, wanted to have it on a railroad line. Around 1919, they moved to a building at 3121-47 Hiawatha Avenue, close to the Milwaukee Road's maintenance and repair shops. The company's sales increased, so in late 1922, Knudsen petitioned the Minneapolis City Council to build a factory and to pile lumber on the block bounded by East 40th and 41st Streets, Hiawatha Avenue, and the railroad tracks. By October 1926, the new factory was ready for occupation, with the capacity for a workforce of 100 employees. The existing factory on 3121 Hiawatha Avenue was still in operation, with the capacity for 75 employees. The new factory also had an enclosed lumber shed, which helped to avoid losses and assured proper ventilation. A few months after opening the second factory, the company built a warehouse, which started as a one-story structure but was designed for a later upgrade to a second story. Employment was forecast to be around 140 by the end of 1927. The company continued to use its first factory for a time until 1931, when another millwork factory moved into that space. Lake Street Sash & Door Company expanded its sales beyond Minneapolis, such as providing doors and millwork to the municipal hospital in Spencer, Iowa and providing millwork for the Reedsville, Wisconsin post office. The peak years for the company were the 1950s, when sales averaged $3 million annually. However, by 1960, sales began to decrease, because fewer regular customers and small contractors were patronizing the business. Helmar Knudsen was 85 by that time and was ready to retire. In 2016, plans were announced to convert the building complex into the Millworks Lofts, offering moderately-priced housing. The plans included 55 one-bedroom apartments, 22 two-bedroom apartments, and one three-bedroom apartment. Tax credits from the historic designation made the project financially feasible. The loft-style apartments featured the timber posts and beams present in the old factory, along with high ceilings and polished concrete floors. The conversion also included a geothermal heating and cooling system with coils buried under the parking lot. The apartments participate in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program and are considered affordable housing.

Hiawatha Golf Course is a golf course adjacent to Lake Hiawatha in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The golf course was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023 for its association with the African American community. The Minneapolis Park Board developed five golf courses in the first three decades of the 20th century, since golf was a relatively new sport at the time and interest was peaking. Black residents in Minneapolis were concentrated in a few neighborhoods, including Southside, so Hiawatha Golf Course became an important social and recreational center for that neighborhood.: 23 

Station 13 of the Minneapolis Fire Department is a fire station in the Ericsson neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The station, at 4201 Cedar Ave. S., was built in 1923 during a period when the city was growing rapidly. Between 1919 and 1922, nearly 5,000 new homes had been built in Minneapolis, and city planners of that era were concerned about fire protection for buildings located near the city limits. That era saw other construction projects such as Roosevelt High School, built in 1922; Standish Elementary School, built in 1920; and Roosevelt Community Library, built in 1925. The city wanted the station to blend into its surrounding residential area, so the building was designed in the American Craftsman bungalow style. It had a low, horizontal roof and a front yard, which distinguished it from other fire stations that typically had two stories and prominent entries. It served as a fire station until 1979, when the Minneapolis Fire Department initiated a remodeling and expansion program. It later held an emergency medical technician unit before being converted to offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Lake Hiawatha is located just north of Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was purchased by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board in 1922 for $550,000.

Its boundaries are East 42nd and 43rd Streets to the north, Hiawatha Avenue to the east, Minnehaha Parkway to the south, and Cedar Avenue to the west.

The 46th Street station of the METRO Blue Line is located in Ericsson.

Dolal Idd was a 23-year-old Somali-American man who was killed in an exchange of gunfire with Minneapolis police officers at approximately 6:15 p.m. CST on December 30, 2020, after he shot at them from inside the car he was driving. The fatal encounter happened in the U.S. state of Minnesota during a police sting operation.Minneapolis police were investigating Idd for illegal possession and sale of firearms. Idd was prohibited from possessing firearms as part of his probation from a prior felony conviction. A confidential police informant intermediated as a buyer for a semi-automatic pistol, and made arrangements for a buyer to purchase the gun from Idd so that police officers could arrest him. Video captured by a police body camera the evening of December 30 showed police officers attempting to arrest Idd who struck several police vehicles with the car he was driving. After the vehicle driven by Idd was blocked by several police vehicles to prevent escape, Idd fired a handgun from inside the car he was driving through a rolled up window that shattered outward and hit a police vehicle containing several police officers. Minneapolis police officers Paul Huynh, Darcy Klund, and Jason Schmit returned several rounds of gunfire, killing Idd at the scene.The shooting on December 30, 2020, took place in the parking lot of a busy Holiday gas station at the intersection of Cedar Avenue and East 36th Street in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, one mile (1.6 km) from the location where George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer on May 25, 2020. Floyd's murder resulted in prolonged local unrest and worldwide protests. Idd's death was the first killing by a Minneapolis police officer since that of Floyd. The December 30, 2020, shooting affected the local community still in mourning over Floyd's murder seven months prior, and reignited local debate over police brutality and race relations. In several rallies, protesters questioned the police narrative of the December 30 incident and if police officers could have used better de-escalation tactics to prevent an exchange of gunfire.In the vehicle driven by Idd, law enforcement investigators recovered a pistol and two spent ammunition cartridges on the driver's side, as well as a backpack on the passenger's side that contained ammunition and a Leinad PM-11 machine pistol, the type of gun a confidential police informant arranged to purchase from Idd. The Minneapolis police, citing video footage and witness statements from the incident, said officers returned fire in response to an initial shot by a civilian. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension opened an investigation of the officer-involved shooting. The bureau's preliminary report, issued on January 4, 2021, said that Idd struck several police vehicles with the car he was driving and that he had shot his gun first before police returned fire.Minneapolis police officers Huynh, Klund, and Schmit fired their weapons at Idd during the December 30 incident. Investigators at the scene recovered six bullets and seven bullet fragments from the rounds that the officers fired at Idd. An autopsy report classified Idd's death as a homicide, due to multiple gunshot wounds. The conduct of the officers, and if they were legally justified in using force, was reviewed by the Dakota County attorney's office. The final charging decision memorandum it released on August 6, 2021, said the officers' actions were justified and that no criminal charges would be filed against them.
