Minnesota Veterans' Home Complex, Campus Plan, 5101 Minnehaha Avenue, South, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, MN
Summary
Significance: The campus plan for the Minnesota Soldiers' Home was developed by Horace W.S. Cleveland, a prominent nineteenth century landscape architect who stressed the importance of using the natural topography of the landscape in his designs. In conjunction with the architect, Warren Dunnell, Cleveland created "the cottage plan," siting the buildings and roads to enhance the natural scenery of the grounds, and through this, provided the residents of the Home access to the medicinal benefits of nature.
