Morgan Park
By: Alanen, Arnold R.; Faust, Chris
Published by: University of Minnesota Press
From 1915 to 1971 the large U.S. Steel plant was a major part of DuluthÕs landscape and life. Just as important was Morgan ParkÑan innovatively planned and close-knit community constructed for the plantÕs employees and their families. In this book Arnold R. Alanen presents vivid portraits of Morgan Park, the formerly company-controlled town that now stands as a city neighborhood, and the U.S. Steel plant for which it was built. Planned by renowned landscape architects, architects, and engineers, and provided with schools, churches, and recreational and medical services by U.S. Steel, Morgan Park is an iconic exampleÑlike Lowell, Massachusetts, and Pullman, IllinoisÑof a twentieth-century company town, as well as a window into northeastern MinnesotaÕs industrial roots. Starting with the intense political debates that preceded U.S. SteelÕs decision to build a plant in Duluth, Morgan Park follows the town and its residents through the boom years to the closing of the outmoded facilityÑan event that foreshadowed industrial shutdowns elsewhere in the United StatesÑand up to today, as current residents work to preserve the communityÕs historic character. Through compelling archival and contemporary photographs and vibrant stories of a community built of concrete and strong as steel, Alanen shows the impact both the plant and Morgan Park have had on Duluth.

Nineteenth-Century Mormon Architecture and City Planning
By: Hamilton, C. Mark
Published by: Oxford University Press (US)
This book is the first comprehensive study of Mormon architecture. It centers on the doctrine of Zion which led to over 500 planned settlements in Missouri, Illinois, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Canada, and Mexico. This doctrine also led to a hierarchy of building types from temples and tabernacles to meetinghouses and tithing offices. Their built environment stands as a monument to a unique utopian society that not only survived but continues to flourish where others have become historical or cultural curiosities. Hamilton's account, augmented by 135 original and historical photographs, provides a fascinating example of how religious teachings and practices are expressed in planned communities and architecture types.
