When fire departments began converting to motor apparatus, many apparatus builders took advantage of truck chassis available from the automotive industry. "Wilcox Trux" of Minneapolis supplied those chasses to the Waterous Company, winning out over Sanford Motor Truck Company of Syracuse, New York, in a bid to supply Waterous with a truck chassis for use in their fire trucks. Waterous quit building fire engines in 1929.

It served as Engine 22 from 1912 to 1915, as Engine 27 from 1915 to 1920, and was in reserve until 1922, when it was dropped from the Minneapolis Fire Department roster.

W Cullen was the initial pastor of the church. In pre-Christian times, buildings erected in the form of pillared halls were used for public assemblies and for the administration of justice and were called "basilicas," or "kingly" halls. The usual plan was an oblong rectangle with a broad central nave separated from side aisles, or ambulatories, by rows of columns. The walls of the nave rested on these columns and were carried up above the roofs of the side aisles to form a clerestory pierced with windows to admit light to the building. At one end of the structure was the entrance consisting, usually, of several doors under a portico, and at the other a semi-circular vaulted niche, or apse, separated from the main building by a screen of columns or a low balustrade. Under the Emperor Constantine, who converted to Christianity, the existing Roman basilicas were either transformed into Christian churches or served as models for such edifices and the use of the word, "Basilica," as a name for a Christian Church became quite general. Scarcely anything remains of the Basilicas adapted to Christian worship in the early centuries and but few remnants are to be found of the numerous basilicas erected under Constantine. In the liturgical sense, a basilica is a church upon which, on account of its importance, special distinction has been bestowed. These basilicas are distinguished as Major and Minor, not because of their size, but because of their dignity. To the major basilicas belong the four Patriarchal churches of Rome: St. John Lateran, St. Peter's, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major. All others are known as Minor Basilicas, of which there are nine in Rome, and a large number throughout the world, including the Basilica of St. Mary of Minneapolis. Royal H.
