The MInnesota Valley YMCA in BurnsvilleThis house, which became the initial base for the YMCA was built by the Vinge family after they purchased the Ratzlaff farm. The house sat a little south of the hospital emergency room parking lot and and was served by the road between it and the clinic. It originally had access to Nicollet Avenue via a fairly long drive before Nicollet was even black topped. It had 35 E for a backyard when that road was built. It was there until at least 2000.
