ORGANIZATION:
This portion of the T. B. Walker and Family Papers. is organized into the following sections.

Minnesota Timberlands

Urban Properties

Oversize Folders

DETAILED DESCRIPTION: BARLOW REALTY COMPANY RECORDS

Records of a Minneapolis-based real estate holding company organized by the Walker family, which eventually evolved into a general holding company overseeing most of the family's various corporations and business partnerships. The records document the property management and real estate investment activities of Barlow and several key subsidiary real estate holding companies, and the sale of the Walker interests' Minnesota cutover lands. Correspondence and other material relating to the acquisition of Minnesota timber lands (from about 1870) have been included here as well, in order to bring together all major files of Minnesota land-related materials. Some miscellaneous deeds and similar papers relating to Minnesota lands are found in Miscellaneous Minnesota Lands Records.

The company's records have been grouped into two major categories: records relating to Minnesota timberlands and records relating to urban properties. Numberous oversize maps, architectural drawings, and other items related to Barlow lands and properties have been flat-filed and listed separately.

Minnesota Timberlands

The timberlands records document the Walkers' acquisition of Minnesota pine lands, the examination and estimating of the timber on those lands, and the sale of cutover lands. Included are land acquisition correspondence, tract books, contract books and related volumes documenting the sale of cutover lands, land examination field books, tax-related volumes, letterpress books and foldered correspondence regarding the sale of cutover lands, and land-related subject files. Some of this material was assembled by the cataloger from disorganized miscellany. Information about logging operations is found in "Logging Papers" files in T. B. Walker papers, Red River Lumber Company records, and Walker & Akeley records. Miscellaneous Minnesota Lands Records provide more information about Minnesota timberlands.

General Files:
Land Correspondence, undated and 1870-1901.
Land Correspondence (1870-1901) is primarily concerned with T. B. Walker's acquisition of northern Minnesota timberlands, particularly from the federal government. It provides information about his procurement of scrip, his applications to enter public lands under the Treaty of February 22, 1955, and about land patents (see the patent files in Miscellaneous Minnesota Lands Records). There is a receipt from the estate of Levi Butler for T. B.'s purchase of all the timber owned by the estate. There is also some information about Walker's construction of a dam at the foot of Clearwater Lake on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in 1882.
Correspondents include Henry Beard, F. M. Campbell, Frank J. Kline, E. C. Whitney, U.S. Representative William D. Washburn, Chicago investment banker S. A. Kean, Curtis & Burdett, and officials of the U.S. General Land Office and its field offices at St. Cloud and Crookston, Minnesota.
The file also includes some early correspondence relative to the acquisition of California timber lands, correspondents including the Washington, D.C. law firm of Holcomb & Johnston, Chester L. and R. H. Hovey, W. L. Leland (Siskiyou County, California), and persons offering land for sale.
The Land Correspondence ends arbitrarily in 1901; the file is continued with the Land Acquisition Correspondence files in California Lands.
Land (Tract) Books.
There are several land (tract) books showing ownership by the Walker interests and the Camp & Walker partnership of lands in northern Minnesota from 1869 to 1974. Included also are land contract registers, mainly for cutover land sales (1904-1956), and record books giving information about the sale of platted lots at several Akeley, Minn. subdivisions and at various other subdivisions platted on Walker lands: Swan Lake, Lake Siseebakwet, Dellwood, Roosevelt Soo, Waville, and the Riverside Addition to Bemidji.

[General] Correspondence:
Letterpress Volumes:
The [General] Correspondence letterpress books (1908-1919, 13 volumes) relate primarily to the sale of both RRLC and Walker & Akeley partnership cutover land. The letters all seem to have originated in the RRLC general offices at Minneapolis.
The letters include price quotations and other responses to persons inquiring about cutover lands, information about their sale on contracts for deed, and the failure of some purchasers to keep up their contract payments and/or to pay their real estate taxes. There are also letters concerning insurance coverage on lumber at the RRLC yard at Akeley and on various Walkerowned buildings; the Minneapolis Central City Market Company market; and T. B. Walker's art collection and gallery.
Most of the letters were written by RRLC accountant/art gallery curator/market master Reuben H. Adams, and by RRLC purchasing agent Rodney C. Hodge. They were largely written for the signatures of others, including Archie, Willis, Gilbert, and Fletcher Walker. There are also some letters authored by RRLC attorney and land man Ellsworth G. Scammon.
Recipients of letters include T. B. Walker; the RRLC offices at Akeley, Westwood, Chicago, and San Francisco; various land companies in Minnesota and in neighboring states, including the B. F. Daniel Land Company and the Empire Land Company (both of Akeley); numerous small lumber companies; officials of northern Minnesota counties; and realtors Jens J. Opsahl (Bemidji), Elmer Madson (Grand Rapids, Minnesota) and J. H. Halvorson (Nevis, Minnesota). There are letters to T. B. Walker's business partner Healy C. Akeley and to Hugh V. Mercer, attorney for the Akeley heirs; the commissioner of the U.S. General Land Office; and Great Northern Iron Ore Properties officials J. H. Gruber (secretary) and Lewis D. Newman (manager). Various Minnesota banks received letters, as did financial services companies, including Thorpe Bros., the Minnesota Loan & Trust Company, and the Arthur P. Smith Company (all of Minneapolis), and the Lumbermen's Credit Association (Chicago).

Foldered Correspondence:
Foldered [General] Correspondence (1922 and 1930-1957, 9.25 cubic feet) is concerned with the management and sale of cutover lands belonging to the RRLC and to Walker & Akeley, primarily with land contracts and their servicing. By 1936 some outgoing letters are being signed "Barlow Realty Company." The files are organized by year or groups of years, and thereunder alphabetically by purchaser. The bulk of the material dates from the 1930s; most of the earlier correspondence is missing, except for a small portion (O-Z) of 1922. The amount of material in the files tapers off by 1956.
The correspondence is primarily between the Walker interests and the purchasers of cutover lands. There is also some correspondence with bankers, lawyers, county officials, and others. There are inquiries from potential buyers, and price quotations and other replies from the RRLC; routine acknowledgments of the receipt of installment payments on land contracts; and correspondence with purchasers who found themselves unable to keep up their payments, particularly in the 1930s. There is information about real estate taxes, timber stumpage and hay stumpage sales, the assignment of land contracts, the perfection of titles, and mineral rights questions. Some letters discuss land-related litigation, including Bowman vs. Red River Lumber Company
There is correspondence with Great Northern Iron Ore Properties officials in regard to sand and gravel pits and the sale of jointly owned lands and timber stumpage. There are also gravel pit agreements and related correspondence with the Minnesota Department of Highways.

Opsahl Correspondence:
Opsahl Correspondence (0.5 cubic foot) consists primarily of letters exchanged between the Walker interests and Bemidji-based realtor Jens J. Opsahl in regard to cutover land sales. They survive only for the years 1921, 1922, 1927, 1930, and 1934. Opsahl sold cutover lands for the Walker interests for some 35 or 40 years, beginning around 1900. He evidently had some responsibility also for the management of unsold cutover lands. At one point there was a dispute between Opsahl and the Walkers over commissions that Opsahl felt were due him; a settlement was eventually reached whereby a large amount of Barlow land previously let go for taxes was turned over to Opsahl. From information supplied by Archie D. Walker.
Opsahl (b. 1865) came to Minnesota in 1889. He subsequently engaged in the mercantile and lumber businesses at Moorhead, Felton, Wilton, and Bemidji; around 1889 he also became involved in the real estate business and in the development of northern Minnesota. Some of Opsahl's businesses included the Selkce Land Company, the Selkce Land & Mercantile Company, the North Bemidji and Mississippi Improvement Company, and the Opsahl Company Opsahl was billed as "colonization agent" for RRLC lands on his letterhead ca.1916-ca.1923, and ca.1916 was responsible for a field staff including Elmer Madson (Grand Rapids), and L. J. and G. H. French (Bemidji). He served in the Minnesota House of Representatives in the 1907 and 1909 legislatures. Opsahl's papers are at the Beltrami County Historical Society (Bemidji).
The Opsahl correspondence concerns routine land sales; mortgages and contracts for deed; mortgage releases; disposition of tax delinquent lands; applications for and sales of timber stumpage; timber trespass on Walker-owned lands; the disposal of slashings; perfection and adjustment of titles; and deadhead salvage. There is also information about the Waville (Beltrami County), Riverside Addition to Bemidji, and Kabekona (Hubbard County) subdivisions. Correspondents include Roy J. Opsahl, Rodney C. Hodge, Charles W. Bennett, Hans Lamprecht, and Archie D. Walker.

Real Estate Documents [Vault Files.]
Real Estate Documents [Vault File] consists of a large group of files that primarily contain legal documents and related correspondence and papers pertaining to individual Walker-owned buildings and properties, particularly in the Twin Cities area. The files are organized alpha-numerically in a system paralleling those mentioned above; the "vault files," however, were maintained in the Barlow offices separately from any of the other files. Tentative designations for the successive alphabetical groups of Real Estate Documents have been added to the box list (e.g., H-files pertain to the Pacific Investment Company).
The files typically include such documents as quit-claim, warranty, and mortgage deeds; mortgage bonds, notes, assignments, and releases; abstracts of title; plat maps; leases and assignments of lease; and some related correspondence. There are contracts for deed, bills of sale, earnest money contracts, mortgage loan applications, and all manner of agreements. There is some information about title investigations, property litigation, and related subjects. Correspondents include Barlow and RRLC officials; attorneys Josiah E. Brill (Minneapolis) and Dana C. Smith (Pasadena, California); Thorpe Bros. (Minneapolis financial services company); and tenants, realtors, property management companies, and lenders and other mortgage and lien holders.
The Real Estate Documents files appear to relate to properties owned by Barlow, the RRLC, the Walker-Pence Company, the Minneapolis Central City Market Company, the Pacific Investment Company, Susan and Gilbert Walker, Walker Brothers, the Four Walkers, Archie and Bertha Walker, the Penwalk Investment Company, T. B. and Harriet G. Walker, the Waland Lumber Company, and Clinton, Willis, and Fletcher Walker.
In addition to Minneapolis and St. Paul properties, there are files on RRLC bonds, the Westwood National Bank, and the sale of RRLC assets to the Fruit Growers Supply Company A large amount of material relates to St. Louis Park. Some other files concern the Minneapolis Land & Investment Company, Mary Place Realty Company, the Superior Golf Course and the Superior Land Company, the Walker-Burton Company, and the Federal Lumber Company

Financial and Accounting Volumes
These include miscellaneous journals, cash books, ledgers, comparative statements of income and expense (1937-1940), plat books, and several other volumes that seem to document the property-management aspect of the Barlow Realty Company business. There is also a list of the stockholders (1911-1941) of several of the Walker interests' businesses. A number of volumes contain multi-company property accounts, and/or miscellaneous data. Inasmuch as Barlow came to oversee, at least in a general way, the affairs of many of the Walker interests' corporations and partnerships, these multi-company volumes have been included with the Barlow Realty records. A number of large, unwieldy volumes were unbound, and their contents placed in folders.
"Multi-Company Property Management Accounts" include daily cash blotters, rent/lease ledgers, rent record sheets, building expense records, and an undated, unidentified volume listing business and residential property in Minneapolis in which the Walkers apparently had some type of interest. "Miscellany and Multi-Company Volumes" include a day book (1900-1918), daily cash received sheets (1935-1937), and rent record sheets (1928).
