Hall , an unpretenious three story brick building on the corner of Michigan and Western, was built in 1887 for the Czech Lodge of the C. S.P.S. (Czecho Slovak Protective Society). The building was extensively remodeled in 1917. (The third story addition was built on the front third of the building; this hall entrance was moved from the west side to the center of Michigan Street side, and the emblem "1887-C.S.P.S. - 1917" was placed below the parapet on the Michigan Street facade. ) Yet, it s character remains virtually unchanged from the time it was built. It has been owned continuously by the Czech Lodge since 1887, and the uses of the building remain the same as they were originally. The upstairs hall serves as a cultural center, used for meetings, social and cultural events, and gymnastics. The first floor is devoted to commercial use and has housed a variety of small businesses over the years. The C.S.P.S. Hall is an undistinguished example of a 19th century commercial building and does not have any particular architectural merit. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, it is , however, a recognized historic site. Its significance is due to its association with late 19th Century Czech immigration and the Czech ethnic and cultural contribution to the development of the community. Some additional historic significance is derived from Antonin Dvorak's visit to the hall in 1893, when an informal reception was held there in his honor. A few years ago, the future of the C.S.P.S. Hall seemed to be in doubt. Now, however, the efforts of inembers of the Czech Lodge, the St. Paul Sokol Gymnastic Society, and others to preserve this symbol of the community' s cultural heritage are beginning to show positive results. In the near future, the first floor will be remodeled to accommodate a new Czech restaurant. A plan for repairing and preserving the building has been worked out and funding is now being sought. . � , , . _ . , . C.5.Y.5.
