History

Today’s Payne Phalen neighborhood arose from a long legacy of pioneering, successive immigrant communities who left their mark on the area. Early Irish, Germans, Swedes and Italians made the East Side their home. During the Industrial Age, Payne Phalen was site of large industrial sites for Whirlpool, Hamm’s Brewery, Seeger Refrigerator Company, and 3M. All employed 1000’s of local residents but in the 1970’s these large manufacturers closed. More recently, waves or new Americans from Asia, Latin America and Africa continue our rich immigrant history and are revitalizing the community’s cultural life and economy.

Housing Styles and Types

Payne Phalen’s traditional housing remains a strong attraction. Worker housing built in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s constructed in Italianate, Folk Victorian, Queen Anne and Bungalow styles which contribute to the unique charm and character of each neighborhood. Parts of the neighborhood, close to Phalen Park, also have rambler and ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and later.
