1920 photograph showing the construction of what is now Victory Memorial Parkway, looking south from Thirty Sixth Avenue North. While the image shows a steam shovel being operated in the distance, most of the grading work is being completed using teams of horses and spoil (excess dirt) is being removed by horse and wagon. At the time, the surrounding landscape was undeveloped.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
