Loring Park's Dandelion Fountain To Be Reconstructed

The iconic Berger Fountain, more commonly known as the Dandelion Fountain, was installed in Loring Park in 1975. In 2020 the fountain ceased working and reconstruction was prioritized by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Concept design work began in spring 2023.

Photos of the Berger Fountain from the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.

Learn more about the Berger Fountain Reconstruction project on the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board website.

The Story of a City Block

In the recent announcement of the upcoming demolition of the now-vacant Wells Fargo Operations Center for future construction of a set residential towers, it was pointed out that the project will be called “Harmonia” after the one time “Harmonia Hall” that stood on part of the block (StarTribune, 9/15/2022). An elegant building constructed by the local German community to serve as a venue for its musical and socials events and activities, it actually spent most of its existence as a hotel. Even in in the 19th century most of the block was populated with various hotels, catering to business generated by the nearby Milwaukee Road Depot, a train station. Hotels included the Tremont House (1880s), National Hotel (1910s), and Summit Hotel (1940s).

By the 1950s, the block had become seedy. Business fell with the decline of passenger rail traffic and the surviving hotels had been converted to “rooming houses” for the male population of Minneapolis’ Skid Row. Harmonia Hall became the Rex Hotel (below).

The block (along with 19 others) was demolished in the early 1960s as part of the massive Gateway Renewal Project. The messianic enthusiasms of that effort resulted mostly in parking lots for decades afterwards. This block was no exception (below).

The current Operations Center building went up in the early 1980s under the name of Norwest Bank. Here it is under construction (below).

Later becoming the Wells Fargo Operations Center after the bank merger. The completed building is pictured at top.

After some 40 years, this building, described by Larry Millet as “untainted by charm”, will be consumed by some wrecking company and the block will move on to its next incarnation, scheduled to be completed in 2026.

looks like DID’s big chess set on Nicollet Mall is a little damp today. maybe skip the chess this afternoon and hop on the bus to get out of the rain. if you catch a southbound 10 or a northbound 18 on Nicollet Mall, you can catch a free ride for a few blocks

Look, if I'm going to be insulted, I need some more clarification.

For reference, the mayor of Minneapolis thought it'd be great to insult people who would rather work from home by saying that they were 'losers' who 'would rather sit on their couches with their nasty cat blankets diddling on their laptops'

#minneapolis #jacob frye #the worst part is because it's a fox 9 video #the comments are like 'hey we don't want to go to downtown!' #and I'm like yeah! #and they're like because of all the crime #and I'm like no! #reblog as you see fit #Youtube
