Butterfield Healthcare Vii, LLC history

It was not until her marriage to John Dodge in 1907 that she became a United States citizen.

In January 1920, the men behind the biggest car brands (Dodge Brothers, Ford, Olds, Chevrolet) gathered for the New York Auto Show.

In 1927, the Wilsons went on a second architectural tour of England accompanied by their architect.

19, 1929, just three weeks after the stock market crash that started the Great Depression.

When Frances took her World Tour in 1934, she returned with her own beloved pekingese dogs to start her new kennel (plus their new kennel maid), along with a zebra, four donkeys and Pete the Turtle, a pet for her younger siblings Richard and Barbara.

Heat Wave! The Dodge and Wilsons cooled off in the summer months with a splash at their peanut-shaped pool that was built around 1936.

Construction started in 1947.

The striking Colt Pegasus bronze sculpture was created in 1949 by Avard Fairbanks, an artist tied to the Dodge legacy.

In 1953 the Donovan Construction Company completed Meadowbrook Manor, located at 6860 Excelsior Blvd.

A controversy arose when an early version of a vending machine was installed at Meadowbrook in 1955.

The following ad for Meadowbrook Manor appeared in the October 19, 1963, issue of TV Times.

She first caught a hint of the piece about six years ago when viewing a 1981 archival interview between Meadow Brook staff and Matilda’s younger sister.

To address these problems, the Meadowbrook Collaborative was formed in 1993, led by Linda Trummer.

In 1995-96, a former laundromat was briefly used for youth programming. (The laundromat had been shut down when it was discovered that the water was being pumped into Minnehaha Creek.)

In about 2003 the program moved into two combined townhouses at 4072 Meadowbrook Lane.

The incredible architecture was one of the major driving forces into establishing The Hall as a National Historic Landmark in 2012.

Student assessment done in SY 2013-14 showed remarkable growth, and compared to students the same age across the state of Minnesota, Kids at Work children tested better.

Linda Trummer went on medical leave in 2016, and with the plans for the upgrades in the buildings, it is likely that it will no longer be the home of low-income people and the Meadowbrook Collaborative will be less involved.
