VII IVARRATIVE� HISTORY AI� SIC�IIFICANCE OF SITE
The Minnesota Museum of Art
The Minnesota Museum of Art building is unique in Saint Paul. It is a recently
restored example of the Art Moderne atyle, and an elegant essay in architectural
craftsmanship. Its smooth, wrap-around shape, according to the architect,
Magnus Jemne, was the result of the site. "The building had to be fitted into
a curiously shaped piece of land," he explained. Originally built as the down-
town "clubhouse" of the Saint Paul Women�s City Club, the structure was built
in 1931 for $265,000, including the interior furnishinga. The club had deter-
mined that their new building should be modern and functional, and designed by
a local architect. Though his previous work had been in traditional styles,
Magnus Jemne was selected for the job. The combination of that five-eided
corner lot and Jemne's design resulted in �he first and finest example of
Streamlined Moderne architecture in the state.
A native of Kristiansund, Norway, Jemne came to the United States at age seventeen.
He received his architectural training at the University of Pennsylvania, and after
graduation established an office in Saint Paul. For awhile he worked with partnera
in the firm of Holyoke, Jemne and Davis, but he later maintained his own office.
Before receiving the commission from the Women's City Club, his work had been iu
designs for affluent residences in conservative and undistinguished styles. He
was a successful and accomplished architect, but innovation was by no means his
hallmark. The choice of an advanced Art Deco treatment for the clubhouse, with a
design polished and assured in every aspect of construction, indicates that
Jemne had in fact been biding his time. Opportunity arose, and he eeized it.
The building is constructed on a steel and concrete frame. It has a polished
granite base and entryway, and walls of random-ahaped Mankato travertine. The
stone is in shapes most easily quarried, and in fact materials and construction
techniques are strictly functional. The curved facade, however, has no structural
or functional purpose. It is simply as smooth, pure and apare as geanetry. It
gives the streamlined "wind tunnel" effect through massing and feneatration--an
architectural effect repeated for the next decade. Curved window banding con-
strains the weight of the building much in the same way strapping does a bale
of hay. The impression of movement is achieved through glass, with window
cours�ing resting lightly on solid granite. Other typical Moderne features are
the flat roof, limited ornamentation, and setback penthouse and terrace. The
curved windows of the southeast projection emphasi$e the coimnanding corner
location and enhance the feeling of horisontal velocity. . ,
"A seismic shudder shook Saint Paul" the Pioneer Press reports, when the
Women's City Club announced that it was aelling its �clubhouse in 1971. The
article goes on to explain that:

VI1 NARRATIVE: HISTORY AI� SIGNIFICANCE OF S1TE
continued page -2-
A changing economy boosted taxes and expenaes for the organization
that had gone over the top financially in hard timea but found
prosperity brought with it dwindling membership and increased
dues. Downtown men's cluba, facing similar problema, have been
able to draw on corporation and businesa reserves. (But) when
the money pinch comes, a club for women standa alone.
The building was bought by the Minneaota Muaetun of Art. It was restored and
remodeled under the supervision of Malcolm E. Lein. Hie alterations to the
interior consistently adhere to the apirit of the original. The meticulously
executed terrazzo floors, for instance, with geometric and stylized patterning
by artist Elsa Jemne, were repaired wherevar poseible. The decorative, recti-
linear light fixturea, designed by Minneapo.lie artiet Frank Poat were retained,
as were the incredible machine-age brass and chrome elevators. Wherever major
changes were necessary in order to tranafoxm the building into a public museum,
as with the movable partition walls for galleries, the intrinsic architecture
was left alone. The exception is a picture window installed in the pivotal
corner in order to light the director's office.
Oriented toward Kellogg Boulevard, it once "conmanded a aweeping view of the
river". The view has been intruded upon by the new jatl and the Northern
Statea Power plant acroas the street. The building itaelf has been dwarfed
by other, later construction, notably the City Court House, built in 1933,
and the latest addition to the Telephone Company complex, a purple-gray
tower, built in 1977. Only the old Ramsey County jail acroas Saint Peter
Street shares both scale and color with the museum building.
The date of the building marka Jemne as one of the ear'y participants in the
Streamlined Moderne style. Similar and better known pieces of architecture
were built afterwards throughout the country, but few surpasa Jemne's Women
City Club in restraint, craftsmanah�p and beauty.

� Dear President Hozza and Council Members :
�
The City Council at its February 22, 1979 meeting tabled the historic
site nominations of six downtown buildings until the skyway plans
" could be examined for potential conflict with historic designation.
� In response to the Council 's concerns, the Heritage Preservation
� Corranission asked Mr. Robert Hall , Skyway Project Manager, to give a �
� general informational presentation and to cornrnent specifically on the
; skyway system's potential effect on those six downtown sites.
i Mr. Hall 's comnents indicated that there are no planned skyway
; connections into any of the six proposed Heritage Preservation Sites.
Hence, it would be very unlikely that a potential conflict would arise
with the Comnission's permit review power over these sites.
a The Heritage Preservation Correnission, therefore, respectfully requests
J the City Council to take the nominations of the six downtown buildings
1 (St. Paul Building, McColl Building, Pioneer/Endicott-Midwest Buildings,
3 Landmark Center, St. Pau} Public and James J. Hill Reference Library
and Minnesota Museum of Art) from the table. Perhaps it would be most
appropriate for the Council 's City Development Corr�nittee to consider
this matter before it is brought again before the full Council . I have
attached a summary of Mr. Hall 's comments before the Comnission.
The Heritage Preservation Commission was favorably impressed with the
development of the skyway system as described by Mr. Hall . The system
has shown a sensitivity to minimizing impact on historic buildings as
evidenced by the Pioneer and Endicott Building's skyways. If it appears
that a planned skyway will have a direct impact on a historic building,
the Comnission will make its position clear in the building's preservation
program, as it did with City Hall 's recommended program which accepts the
Annex skyway connection.
Thank you for your consideration. '
Sincerely,

� Dear 1�9r. Sandeen and Commission Members: �
� �
� As requested, I am summarizing my presentation made to the Corr2mission at your
; regular meeting of lblarch 8, 1979, concerning the St. Paul Skyway System. As you
i recall, the first part of my presentation covered those skyway bridges which are either
� currently under construction or "programmed" for construction in the near future.
i By "programmed", I mean those skyway bridges for which fun�s are presently available:
i
� A. Bridges under construction
1. Dayton to Wabasha Court over �Vabasha St.
2. Bremer Building to Donaldson's over Seventh St. _ � �
3. Donaldson's to Metro Square over Robert St.
4. Mears Park Apts. to Park Square Court over Sibley St.
• B. Bridges Programmed for Construction
1. St. Joseph's Hospital to Gallery Medical Offices over St. Peter Street�
2. Northwestern National Bank to To�vn Square over Sixth Street
3. Bremer Building to Town Square over Minnesota St.
4. Athletic Club to Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Buildino over Cedar Street
S. Vlinnesota Mutual Building to Degree of Honor Building over Fourth Stre�t
6. Degree of Honor to Minnesota Title Abstract Building over Degree Auditorium
'Other possible future skyway bridges were also discussed but are not yet funded; therefore,
they are in the planning stage only, subject to future revision.
T'he discussion, then, turned to those buildings downtown which the Commission has
recommended to the City Council for designation as Historic Preservation Sites.
I was asked to comment on the potential for future skyway bridges to each of the
buildings: ,
. ��"'�..�,� �

i . Page 2
� _ .
1. ST. PAUL BUILT�ING - 359-353 WABASHA STREET
Comment: It is highly unlikely that any sky�vay connection would ever be proposed
! to connect directly to this building. Future slcyway bridges in this block �rould
' more likely be built from the Doecfler Square Building across Wabasha; the Lowry •
Medical Building across St. Peter; the Field Schlic4c Building across Fifth Street;
or the City Hail Annex across Fourth Street. None of these possible connections
� are firm yet and each would be dependent on some future private developmznt_
either in the form of extensive remodeling or new construction.
' 2. N1C COLL BUILDING - 366-368 JACKSON STREET
Comment: 'fhe Lowertown Development Corporation and the City are seeking
both rehabilitation of existing buildings and ne�v development for that block .
(Block�40), but present plans call for skyway connections in other buildings in
the block and not directly into the McColl Building.
3. PIONEER/ENDICOTT-MID1"JEST' BUILDNGS - ROBERT AND FOURTH STREETS
Comment: Skyways into this block already exist. No future skyways are pIanned
at this time and would only occur when and if there were future redevelopment
of the north side of the block at the Empire Building.
' 4. LANDMARK CENTER - 109 W. FIFTH STREET
�
� Cornment: There is nearly universal agreement that this building should never
be connected via a second level skyway. Planning done to date for pedestrian
j connection to this building has always considered a tunnel connection from the
{ Hamm Building or other blocks as the preferred alternative. �
? 5. ST. PAUL PUBLIC AND JAMES JEROME HILL REFERENCE LIBRARY -
+ 90 N. FOURTH STREET
s
j
; Comment: Same as the I.andmark Center — connection, if any, would probably
� be by tunnel rather than skyway.
,
6. A�IINNESOTA MUSEUM OF ART - 305 ST. PETER STREET
Comment: Because of the unique nature of surrounding buildings, such as City
Hall Court House, Northwestern Bell addition, West Publishing Co., a skyway
appears highly unlikely in the foreseeable future. � •
7. THE ST. PAUL CITY HALL AND RAMSEY COUNTY COURT HOUSE
Comment: Two skyway bridges into this building are possible. The first,would
connect to the City Hal1 Annex across Fourth St; the second wouid connect .
to the Commerce Building across Wabasha St. The first bridge to the City Hall
Annex woutd be in place of a proposed tunnel connection under Fourth St. The
primary case which can be made for a skyway bridge rather than a tunnel is
that a second level connection would better serve the public if there were other
second level connections (and possibly a People Mover Station) from new development
in the St. Paul Hotel block and remodeling o# the Lowry Medical Building on the
first and second levels. .
_ _ Page 3
i
The City has made no final decision on either of these futu:e skyway connections
and will probably not.ma4<e a firm decisio� until the DPYI and the development
' issues for the adjacent blocks become more clear and more certain.
�
� �Vith respect to the possible location of a skyway bridge connection from City
Hall to the City Hall Annex, illustrations were presented which show that the
most desirabl� connection (aesthetically) would be into the west side of City
! Hall over the alley. Again, no final decision has been made on a specific bridge
�
or its possible alternative location. .
{
� Finally, the question was asked about the design of present and future skyway bridges
j in the downtown area. I responded by noting that all bridges look alike on purpose --
; so they will not compete architecturally or aesthetically with the variety and diversity
j of existing buildings and with new development. They are purposely "neutral" in character
I so as to blend into the overall street scene and not call attention to themselves to
� any great degree. They are considered more as "street furniture", with a standard,
i uniform size, shape and color. In my opinion--and this is only my opinion, not any
official City position—this uniformity �vorks better aesthetically than having a variety
of bridge designs throughout the downtown area. �
Thank you for the opportunity to meet with the Commission. If I may be of any further
assistance, piease advise me.

A QUESTION AND ANS��IER SUMMARY
OF ISSUES RELATED TO HERITAGE PRESERVATION SITES
w '
2/15/79
There were a number of questions -- general and specific -- raised at the
City Council meeting on February l , 1979 in regards to public hearings
on ten proposed Heritage Preservation Sites. The City Attorney was asked
for a legal opinion on some of these questions. In addition, the Heritage
Preservation Commission thought that it would be helpful to present a
brief question and answer summary of these concerns.
Q.) Several specific que�tions were raised about the ten sites up for
hearing:
1 . Was the site on the National Register of Nistoric Places?
2. If not, who requested designation?
3. Do the owners of the sites support designation?
� 4. What procedures were followed for notification? �
A.) In 1979 the Heritage Preservation Commission established a policy
direction of nominating all National Register sites to the city's
list of historic sites. This is the origin of most of the recommenda-
ions before City Council .
All owners of potential sites were contacted by mail and personally
` by Commission and/or staff before a scheduled hearing by the Heritage
"�. Preservation Commission. Owners within 350 feet of said property
were notified of the hearing to discuss potential designation. The
j "All List" and Early Notification List for each district were also
notified of the public hearing for ail of these sites. Notice of
the Commission's hearing was published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Owners were again contacted by staff to inform them of the HPC
recommendation to City Council and of the City Council 's hearing.
Regular notification procedure was again followed for City Council �
hearing.

��� in detail . Mr. Larson said that he would relay information to

on designation. A resolution regarding designation is on the
��
Minnesota Landmark's Board meeting agenda for February 15, 1979.
,.�
- Q. ) Was the District 8 Council notified of the proposed designation of
the Luckert House at the time of HPC public hearing? _
A.) Yes.
Q.) Mr. James Mann, when speaking to the Luckert Nouse designation,
mentioned lack of action taken on a request for a district designation.
What was that district?
A.} Mr. Mann, as a citizen of District 8, requested consideration by the
HPC of a district on Dayton Avenue between Grotto and St. Albans.
The Commission directed staff to research this area as a possible
district. 7his research is now completed and will be forwarded to
the Candidates Committee of the HPC on February 15, 1979.
Q.) Does designation of an individual site effect any other nearby
property owners?
A.) No, the designation (and consequent permit review power) only applies
to that particular property. .
Q. ) How does a historic district designation differ from an individual �
. site designation? ' .
A.) A historic district designation covers several or more properties.
The purpose of a district is to preserve the distinctive architectural
character of an entire area. The "preservation p.rogram" for a district
will usually be a general set of guidelines for rehabilitation of
existing buildings and for new construction in the district. A
building permit application for any structure in the district would be
revie�red but each case would be reviewed with respect to the particular
character of that hosue (if rehab) or surrounding houses (if new
construction). •
Q.) Does designation of a site or district mean that no changes, projects ,
or plans could take place in the future on that site or district?' �
A.) No, designation simply means that proposed changes would be reviewed
by the HPC in light of the defined historic character involv�
CortIInission's power is not absolute, and any perntit applicant
- or aggrieved party may appeal to City Council. "
Q.) What is �the procedure for appeal? �
A.) If the HPC denies a permit application, it must advise the applicant
(or other official party) of her/his right to appeal the decision
and provide them with the ordinance explanation of that procedure.
The applicant shall make this request for appeal within ten days of .
the HPC decision.
- 4 -
Q.) Would "de-designating" a Heritage Preservation Site be necessary to
demolish it?
A.) No, a Heritage Preservation Site may be demolished with approval of
the wrecking permit by the HPC. Their written opinion must address
� historical/architectural merit and issues of economic usefulness
(as spelled out in the HPC ordinance). As with a building permit
application, the HPC's decision may be appealed to the City Council .
Q.) Is there some way to know whether the designation of a building
will create camplications for city-approved plan?
A.) Yes, the Planning Commission reviews all recommended designations in
light of planning considerations before they reach City Council .
Q.) Are skyways prohibited in Heritage Preservation Sites or Districts?
A.) No, like any other project a p�oposed skyway would be reviewed by
the HFC considering the effect on the historic integrity of the
particular site in question. The Commission has never gone on record
as being opposed to sf�yways. Each project and each site would be �
considered individually. .
Q.) Are there benefits to the owner of a designated site?
A.) Yes, the possibility of i�creased property value is certainly one
value. If a building is not on the National Register, St. Paul
designation will make National Designation a greater likelihood
When on the National Register the buiiding would qualify for certain
grants-in-aid; and if cortnercial or income-producing may qual�fy for
tax benefits.

SAINT PAUL HERITAGE PRESERVATION COP4P�1ISSION
i
WORK PROGRAM FOR 1979
The Heritage Preservation Commission was created in 1976 by city ordinance.
The Commission is responsible far recommending buildings, sites, and
districts to the City Council for designation as Heritage Preservation
Sites. Once a building is so designated, every building permit application
for its exterior must be reviewed by the Commission. A dissatisfied
applicant may always appeal to City Council .
P�ineteen seventy-eight was the Heritage Preservation Commission's second
year of existence. It was the first year of full operation, with the
Commission implementing policy decisions and refining procedures formulated
in 1977. The Commission was especially active in one primary realm of
responsibility: recommending designation of Neritage Preservation Sites.
A policy decision was made to initially consider all sites on the National
Register of Historic Places for St. Paul designation in addition to any
nominations from citizens. In accordance with that policy, all of the
indivTdual National Register Sites have now been researched and considered
by the Commission. Nine of these sites have been officially designated by
the City Council , thirteen have been recommended to City Council and are
currently pending, and five have recently been before public hearing of the
Commission.
In 1979 the Heritage Preservation Commission sees its work program as follow�:
1 . HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION
� With the consideration of individual P�ational Register Sites almost
completed, the Commission will concentrate on revi�wing the three
Plational Register Distric��s within St. Paul as potential municipal
districts. The largest of these is the Historic Nill National Register `_
District. At the recommendation of its Historic Hi11 Advisory
Committee -- and for the purpose of public discussion only -- the
Commission has tentatively proposed iocal boundaries identical to the
State Historic Hili District (which includes the Woodland Park National
Register District) in order to ensure that ali citizens and community
groups could speak to their desired inclusion or exclusion from a
district. The Cortunission has no� taken a final position on the district .
and is not opposed to boundaries closer to those of the National
Register District(s). The other National Register District to be
considered for St. Paul designation in 1979 will be the Irvine Park
District, with boundaries almost identical to the national district.
A proposed Rice Park Historic District was brought before public hearing �
in 1978. At that hearing the proposed district encountered questions
from some property owners who were concerned about what specific •
requirements would have to be met in any permit reviews. In response
to these concerns the Commission tabled their recommendation, reduced
district boundaries, and drafted a set of design guidelines for the
��
/
Work Program for 1979 - 2 -
proposed district. With these guidelines now approved as a draft for
public discussion, the Commission will meet with all individual owners
to discuss the district and guidelines.
Lowertown Development Corporation has also inquired about the possibility
of a historic district for that area. If a formal request is received,
it is not clear how much time and consideration would be required to
create such a district. .
2. REVIEW OF CITIZENS' NOh1INATIONS
The Commission will , of course, continue to receive and evaluate
nominations of buildings put forth by St. Paul. citizens or groups.
Actual recommendation for designation of such sites will be based on
strict application of the ordinance's evaluation criteria and on avail-
able staff time.
3. PERMIT REVIEW •
� 4�ith nine sites designated and more pending it is probable that the
Commission will be reviewing buildinq permit appTications for some of
these sites in 1979. (With only three designated sites during most of
1978, the Commission did not have a chance to �exercise any permit review
power.) �
4-. HISTORIC SITE SURVEY
Evaluating the worth of any potential historic site is hampered without .
a comparative knowledge of all other possible sites in the city.
� -�herefore, the Corrnnission .is charged in the ordinance with_conducting
. _ : :a_ citywide survey of bistoric_sites: -'In '1979 the Commission �will put
together_a joint grant application with the Ramsey County Histo rical
Society to fund a citywide survey from State Historic Preservation
funds and private foundation monies. Hence, the survey and its
administration will involve almost no regular city staff time.
