City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />10-8 <br />Charles Perry House <br /> <br />The Charles Perry House, located at 3491 Lake Johanna Boulevard, has been identified <br />by the Minnesota Historical Society and Ramsey County Historical Society as <br />historically important. While there has been consideration of placing this house on the <br />National Register of Historic Places, additional research and community interest is <br />needed. <br /> <br />Farrell Homestead <br /> <br />The Farrell Homestead at 1963 County Road E2 is a large, Victorian farm home just <br />north of the intersection of County Road E2 and New Brighton Road. The Homestead <br />was constructed in 1874. John Farrell, of Irish descent, settled and farmed more than <br />500 acres. A friend once asked him why he brought such a hilly farm, to which John <br />replied, “Because it reminds me of Ireland.” <br /> <br />An interesting side note is from Mary (May) Marston, granddaughter of John Farrell, <br />who grew up on the farm in the 1890s. Ms. Marston stated that, “Across from the farm <br />was a hill with Indian grave platforms and artifacts.” <br /> <br />Nazareth Hall on the Northwestern College Campus <br /> <br />Nazareth Hall was constructed in 1921-22 on the Northwestern College campus. It was <br />constructed in the “Lombardic Romanesque” style from northern Italy. It faces east to <br />overlook Lake Johanna. It includes six buildings constructed as one, with several <br />courtyards styled after the Vatican. The building covers approximately 37,400 square <br />feet of ground and was designed to fit into its natural lakeshore setting. <br /> <br />Round Lake Prehistoric Site <br /> <br />The Round Lake prehistoric site is located on a small knoll on a peninsula on the <br />southwestern shore of Round Lake. Archaeological exploration has determined that the <br />knoll on the peninsula is most likely of natural origin. Artifacts relating to the <br />manufacture or maintenance of stone tools were observed on the site, and it appears <br />that it may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This site was <br />threatened by development in 1997; however, the City was able to obtain a <br />conservation easement over the peninsula to preserve it in its current condition. Further <br />research, as well as community interest, is required before actual placement on the <br />National Register of Historic Places. <br /> <br /> <br /> Draft 04/04/2018
