   Home of American Railway Union activist William F. Burns in 1894. Burns was a switchman at the Minnesota Transfer Railroad in the Midway area and took part in the 1894 Pullman strike. Later in 1894 he wrote a 300-page book on the strike, published by McGill Printing Co. William Mahoney home, 1852 Dayton. Outspoken in his belief that unions needed to be politically active, Mahoney was responsible in large part for the formation of the Farmer-Labor Party. He served as president of the St. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly and as editor of the Union Advocate from 1920 until 1932, when he was elected Mayor of St. Paul. Casiville Bullard home, 1282 Folsom St. (north of Wheelock Parkway). Home to one of the few African-American craftsmen known to have worked in the unionized building trades in St. Paul in the early 20th century. Bullard, a longtime member of Bricklayers Local 1, helped build the state Capitol, St. Paul Cathedral, City Hall, Foshay Tower and many other major structures. He built this house himself. Snelling Avenue Shops, Snelling Ave. and Interstate 94. The last remaining building, currently used as a bus barn, was built in 1906 as an erecting shop for the Twin Cities Rapid Transit Company, which operated the streetcar system. The area now taken up by Midway Shopping Center was also occupied by the yards and buildings of the company. Streetcar workers had explosive strikes in 1889, 1917 and 1934 before establishing a stable, long-lasting union in the industry. (Slated to be torn down).
