On This Date in Minnesota History: November 23

November 23, 1986 – One of the oldest structures in Minneapolis, the R.M.S. Pease house, was moved on this date to 101 W. Island Ave. on Nicollet Island from 814 University Ave. SE. The relocation was necessary because of redevelopment on University Ave. Built in 1864, the house was originally owned by Rev. R. M. S. Pease, minister of the First Baptist Church of Saint Anthony (now known as University Baptist Church).
