The Hennepin County library recommends that one starts their home research by finding the building permit index card for the house you are researching. On the card you can find the building permit number. With the building permit number you can look up the lot survey, which is on microfilm. Online they recommend that you call or email at least one day in advance so they can pull the index card. For me they were able to pull it and I went in later in the day. Below is the index card for my house. Also for the other Lustron on my street at 4900 Cedar Ave. The card says that the permit to build my house was issued on 10-28-48. The other Lustron was issued on 9-14-1948. A little over a month before mine. This was surprising because the home on 4900 was supposed to be the demo home for Minneapolis and is home number 15 and my home is number 845.
