Brookside Avenue is a very old street. An 1888 map shows it starting at Excelsior Blvd, traveling straight south. It veers east at Minnehaha Creek, ending at 44th Street in Edina. The map does not show any bridges over the creek.
The photo below is a colorized copy of what purports to be Brookside Ave. The source is unknown, and so are the age and stretch of this long, old road.
