The Pine Bend Historical Marker is located on the eastern side of T.H. 52/T.H. 55 (formerly&#13;
T.H. 52/T.H.53) at the southeastern corner of the intersection of T.H.52/T.H.55 and 117th&#13;
Street. It stands on a .1-acre site just within the southern city limits of the City of Inver&#13;
Grove Heights.&#13;
STANDING STRUCTURES&#13;
Stone Marker. Built 1939-1940 by the NYA. The principal feature on this site is a stone&#13;
marker that is basically rectangular in shape and measures approximately 12' wide and about&#13;
15' deep. It is built of tan, random ashlar, roughly-cut limestone with contrasting dark red&#13;
brick trim (specified as vitrified brick on the plan). The stones were carefully selected and&#13;
the masonry carefully executed.&#13;
The marker consists of a rectangular shaft that rises above a flagstone terrace and is flanked&#13;
by low sidewalls. The shaft supports a bronze plaque that is set within a rectangular niche&#13;
that is topped by a keystone. The niche is framed in red brick. Red brick was also used&#13;
to create a herringbone-patterned panel beneath the niche. The sidewalls of the marker,&#13;
flanking the shaft, have caps of red brick. In front of the shaft is a wide curving limestone&#13;
step (specified as herringbone-patterned brick in the plan) that allows visitors to step up to&#13;
the plaque. The marker's terrace has two wide steps on its front edge. Beneath these&#13;
steps, a lower level of flagstone creates a plaza that is about 2'6" wide. There is a small&#13;
plaque on the front edge of the marker (near its northern end) that reads "NYA Constructed&#13;
by National Youth Administration Cooperating with the Minnesota Department of Highways&#13;
1939."&#13;
The marker constitutes only the central section of a more extensive, 34'-wide marker that&#13;
was drawn in the original plan. In the plan, the existing marker is flanked by two slightly&#13;
lower wings that extend north and south and then curve several feet forward. The flagstone&#13;
terrace in the plan is much wider (filling width of the entire marker), and the plan shows&#13;
two benches with stone legs and concrete slab seats that were shaped to fit within the&#13;
curves of the wings. Finally, the lowest level of flagstone is shown on the plan as a larger&#13;
flagstone plaza, and the stone steps were to have been flanked by low stone piers with brick&#13;
caps.&#13;
The text of the marker's plaque commemorates the site of a former Sioux village and the&#13;
abandoned St. Paul and Southern Railway. The seals of the State of Minnesota Department&#13;
of Highways and the Minnesota Historical Society are cast near the bottom. (See marker&#13;
text at the end of this document.)&#13;
Stone Curbing. Built 1939-1940 by the NYA. There is a stone curb, partially covered or&#13;
missing, along the eastern side of the pull-off drive.&#13;
Stone Flagpole. Built 1943 by the MHD and the Pine Bend 4-H Club. About 60' north of&#13;
the stone marker is a stone flagpole base that is built of gray, random ashlar, roughly-cut&#13;
limestone on a stone footing. The base is 3' square and about 3' tall and steps inward as&#13;
it rises. The original plan for the flagpole shows a flagstone walkway approaching the&#13;
structure that does not exist today and perhaps was not built.&#13;

OTHER LANDSCAPE FEATURES AND PLANTINGS&#13;
The Pine Bend Historical Marker is a small, .1-acre, shallow, rectangular site that has a curved&#13;
gravel pull-off drive that forms a narrow island between the pull-off drive and T.H. 52/T.H.&#13;
55. The topography of the site is flat. Most of the site was originally planted with grass&#13;
that is now overgrown. There is one mature evergreen near the northern end of the site&#13;
and a mature deciduous tree both north and south of the marker.&#13;
No original planting plan has been located but a drawing of the site on the construction plan&#13;
shows tall evergreens and shrubs serving as a backdrop to the marker and low spreading&#13;
junipers flanking the front edge. A 1943 plan of the site (drawn when the flagpole was&#13;
added) shows similar plantings near the marker, shade trees along the eastern side of the&#13;
site, and shrubs planted at the northern and southern ends of the pull-off drive, along the&#13;
curve of the pull-off, and on each end of the island.&#13;
SETTING&#13;
The site is located on the eastern side of a very busy highway in an agricultural area whose&#13;
farm fields are being joined by light commercial and industrial suburban development. The&#13;
site is bounded on the north by 117th Street, on the west by T.H. 52/T.H. 55, and on the&#13;
east and south by a plowed field edged with a chainlink fence. To the north across 117th&#13;
Street is a feed plant and a commercial complex. Across the highway to the west are&#13;
plowed fields.&#13;
INTEGRITY&#13;
Alterations&#13;
The site was not constructed according to the historic plan on file at Mn/DOT. (See marker&#13;
description above.)&#13;
The marker's flagstone has been crudely remortared. Much of the site's original stone curb&#13;
is missing. The island has been reduced in size to a narrow patch of weeds. The site is&#13;
otherwise intact.&#13;
In general, the site retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling,&#13;
and association. Its integrity of setting and feeling have been compromised somewhat by&#13;
increased highway traffic and encroaching commercial development.&#13;
Notes on Condition&#13;
The marker is in fair to poor condition and needs maintenance and repair. Some bricks have&#13;
been broken and the flagstone terraces have been crudely remortared. The site is overgrown&#13;
and appears abandoned.&#13;

Prior to the construction of this wayside rest, there was a 3' by 5' steel sign on this site.&#13;
The sign was white with black lettering and was located close to the highway shoulder.&#13;
The text of the steel marker was identical to the text on the current stone marker, with the&#13;
exception of the last line of the stone marker's plaque, which did not appear on the steel&#13;
marker. The steel sign was one of the markers erected during the first cooperative marking&#13;
program of the MHD and the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS), which was established in&#13;
1929.&#13;
This stretch of T.H. 55 was formerly numbered T.H. 53.&#13;
The wayside rest and its stone marker were constructed in 1939 and 1940 by the National&#13;
Youth Administration (NYA), in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Highways.&#13;
The plan was drawn in November 1939. A 1939 highway department report stated:&#13;
Pine Bend is located at the site of an old Indian village. Here an historic marker of&#13;
limestone masonry with a bronze plaque and safe turnout is being erected to perpetuate&#13;
the legend of the site. It is contemplated that this project will be completed in 1940.&#13;
Fill material for the construction of the driveway is being obtained by flattening the&#13;
backslopes of an old railroad grade along the edge of the right of way, thereby&#13;
obliterating old construction scars while obtaining fill material (Annual Report 1939:22).&#13;
The site was probably designed by Arthur R. Nichols of the firm Morell and Nichols. Nichols&#13;
served as Consulting Landscape Architect for the Minnesota Department of Highways in the&#13;
1930s and early 1940s and designed most roadside development sites built during this period.&#13;
Nichols was one of Minnesota's most prominent landscape architects and his career spanned&#13;
many decades.&#13;
The flagpole was added to the site in 1943 by the Pine Bend 4-H Club in cooperation with&#13;
the highway department. The plan for the flagpole was approved by H. E. Chard (District&#13;
Engineer) on July 28, 1943.&#13;
PREVIOUS SHPO REVIEWS&#13;
There apparently have been no previous SHPO cultural resource reviews of the property.&#13;
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE&#13;
The Pine Bend Historical Marker was built in 1939-1940 by the MHD and the NYA. It is&#13;
one of 18 stone, free-standing, shrine-type historic markers recorded in this inventory. It is&#13;
one of 19 sites in the inventory on which the NYA worked. Pine Bend is one of more than&#13;
60 sites in the inventory that were designed by, or whose design is attributed to, Arthur R.&#13;
Nichols.&#13;
This property has been evaluated within the historic context "Roadside Development on&#13;
Minnesota Trunk Highways, 1920-1960." It is recommended that the Pine Bend Historical&#13;
Marker is ELIGIBLE for the National Register under this historic context because it meets the&#13;
following registration requirements:&#13;
Significant to the History of Roadside Development. The Pine Bend Historical Marker is among&#13;

5&#13;
the 68 Depression-era properties in the inventory that represent the MHD's first large-scale&#13;
effort to construct roadside development facilities in the state. The site is important as a&#13;
well-preserved example of the accomplishments of the NYA working with the MHD. The&#13;
property is an example of the distinctive and well-constructed public facilities, built by the&#13;
MHD in partnership with federal relief agencies, that met the objectives of roadside development&#13;
while providing essential work and job training to the nation's unemployed during the Depression.&#13;
(National Register Criterion A.)&#13;
Design Significance. The Pine Bend Historical Marker is a well-preserved example of the MHD&#13;
Roadside Development Division's small pull-off style roadside parking areas with shrine-type&#13;
historic markers. The site is a relatively intact example of the application of the "National&#13;
Park Service Rustic Style" to a roadside development facility. It has stonework of excellent&#13;
quality, and displays the special labor-intensive construction techniques and distinctive use of&#13;
indigenous materials that characterize both the Rustic style and federal relief construction in&#13;
Minnesota. Furthermore, the Pine Bend Historical Marker is an important example of the&#13;
roadside development work of prominent landscape architect A. R. Nichols, to whom its design&#13;
is attributed. (National Register Criterion C.)&#13;
The site may also be associated with the "Federal Relief Construction, 1933-1943" and&#13;
"Tourism and Recreation in the Lake Regions, 1870-1945" historic contexts.&#13;
OTHER COMMENTS&#13;
This property may require further evaluation for potential archaeological resources.&#13;
The site is located on a very busy stretch of highway and the marker is very close to the&#13;
shoulder. It is dangerous to turn into the site and the traffic noise and movement are&#13;
obtrusive.&#13;
It is recommended that the site interpretation be updated for cultural sensitivity.&#13;
The text of the historic marker is associated with an occupation site and with an abandoned&#13;
railroad bed. It is not specifically associated with the site of the wayside rest.&#13;

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND MARKER TEXT&#13;
The stone for this site may have been obtained from a quarry near Red Wing. Outcroppings&#13;
of Shakopee and St. Lawrence limestone are located in the bluffs along the Mississippi River&#13;
Valley and were quarried in Red Wing as early as 1865.&#13;
Prior to 1852, Pine Bend was the site of a Dakota village whose leader in the mid-19th&#13;
century was Medicine Bottle. The area was named by Euro-Americans for the pine trees&#13;
that lined the Mississippi River banks and for the large bend or turn in the river a few miles&#13;
east of the site. During the 1850s and 1860s, it was also the site of a St. Paul and&#13;
Southern Railway station and a short-lived Euro-American village.&#13;
Text of Metal Plaque on Stone Marker&#13;
"Pine Bend Village. The cornfields and village of the Sioux chief, Medicine Bottle, occupied&#13;
the land between this point and the river from 1838 to 1852.&#13;
"This friendly chief, uncle of the Medicine Bottle executed in 1865, with his band moved to&#13;
the Redwood Agency after the Mendota Treaty of 1851 and died before the Sioux Outbreak&#13;
of 1862. This marker also stands on the abandoned roadbed of the St. Paul and Southern&#13;
railway." [Seals of the Minnesota Historical Society and the State of Minnesota Department of Highways]</text>
