<strong>Old</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Street</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rochester</strong>, <strong>Minnesota</strong> (Ken Allsen) Every city has a neighborhood that housed its earliest founders and their successors, an enclave <strong>of</strong> local power and financial success. For <strong>Rochester</strong>, <strong>Minnesota</strong>, this neighborhood is personified by a ten-block stretch <strong>of</strong> tree-shaded street originally platted in 1855 as West <strong>College</strong> <strong>Street</strong>, now designated as 4th <strong>Street</strong> Southwest. In the span <strong>of</strong> 150 years, two and sometimes three generations <strong>of</strong> remarkable buildings have come and gone in this neighborhood. Under the direction <strong>of</strong> movers and shakers like George Head and Dr. William J. Mayo, the street helped shape the city s architectural legacy and define its purpose. Join architectural historian Ken Allsen on a stroll down this storied street.<br />
