St. Anthony Park

Slide 30: In the 1920s Curtis's Northwest Airport was located at the southeast corner of Snelling and Larpenteur. There were several of these small airports during the 1920's. Most were converted to residential communities, but at the time no one was sure which field would be dominant. Eventually Northwest Orient Airlines emerged at Holman Field in downtown St. Paul. It soon out grew out of the St. Paul field and moved to the Wold-Chamberlain Field which became the Twin Cities International Airport.
