REGNIER Councilman David Hozza Seventh Floor Court House Saint Paul, Minnesota Re: Transfer of Old Federal Courts Building from the Arts and Science Council to Minnesota Landmarks Dear Councilman Hozza: In your letter of November 13 , 1975, to the City Attorney you requested that this office prepare r�esolutions to accomplish the following: l. To transfer title of the Old Federal Courts Building to Ramsey County. The City acquired title to the Old Federal Courts Building from the United States of America through the Administrator of General Services. This deed contains limitations on the use of the property and the ownership of the property, in particular, the deed provides tha t the property shall be forever used and maintained as an historic monument and for those purposes, set forth in the City' s "Program for Preservation and Utilization" dated September 19, 1972. The deed further provides that the City may not sell , lease, assign or otherwise dispose of the property except to another local govern- mental agency that the Secretary of the Interior is satisfied can assure the continued use and maintenance of the property for historic monument purposes. In order to comply with this condition, the City must request approval of the Secretary of the Interior and the City should establish to the satisfaction of the Secretary that Ramsey County will continue to use and City Hall, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 612 298-5121 � �ss��.s Councilman Hozza Page Two I December 4, 19'75 maintain the Old Federal Courts Building for historic monument purposes. I suggest that the City obtain a committment by the Ramsey County Board to acquire and use the Old _Federal Courts Building for these purposes and that this committment be forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior. Upon obtaining approval of the Secretary of the Interior, the City Council must by resolution authorize the con- veyance of title to Ramsey County. I have prepared a draft of quit claim deed which could be used to transfer title to Ramsey County and, also, City Council resolution. These two drafts could be forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior in addition to the other material. In conclusion, the City may transfer title to the Old Federal Courts Building to Ramsey Count�, but such con- veyanee is conditioned upon satisYying the Secretary of the Interior that the County will continue to use and maintain the property for historic monument purposes and upon obtaining the approval of the Secretary to this transfer. Upon receipt of such approval, the City Council may then authorize the execution of the appropriate deed of conveyance. 2. You requested resolutions accomplishing a change in the maintenance contrac so as to have Ramsey County pay for the maintenance of the Old Federal ourts Buildin ins�d o he �'i y o Sain Paul. The existing agreement between the City and the St. Paul Council of Arts and Sciences which provides that the Arts and Science Council will maintain the Old Federal Courts Building and the City will be responsible for all operation, maintenance and repair costs, provides that in the event Ramsey County is authorized by the stat� legislature to .� ��y O �� Councilman Hozza Page Three December 4, 1975 � appropriate funds with which to assume the City' s obligation for the operation and maintena,nce of the Old Federal Courts Building, that the op�ration agreement between the City and the Arts and Science Council would automatically terminate and Ramsey County would then assume ownership and control pf the Old Federal Courts Building. I understand that Ramsey County has been, given appro- priate legislative authorization to appropriate operation and maintenance funds for the Old Federal Courts Building and, therefore, the oper�,tion agreement with the Arts and Science Council has terminated. I assume that there presently exists some agreement between the Arts and Science Council and Ramsey County and, therefore, it would not be necessary to change or amend the agreement between the City and the Arts and Science Council. 3. You further re uested resolutions to accom lish transfer of the responsibility of rehabi itation of the Old Federal Courts Buildin to Minnesota Landmarks, Inc. rom e Arts and Science Council. Please be advised that if the existing agreement between the City and the Arts and Science Counci,l has terminated, then it would not be necessary to amend this contract to accomplish your stated purpose. The obligation to provide rehabilitation funds was also se,t forth in the operating agreement between the City and the Arts and Science Council, and Ramsey County could amend their agreement so as to place the financial rjesponsibility for rehabilitation upon Minnesota Landmarks, Inc.

Preservation and archi�ectural plan. � , (1 ) Existing architectural condition � (a) Exterior The roo�s of the Nor�h and South towers have their original clay tile � roofing. 7he conical roofis of �he turrets have been reroo`ed wi�h sheet copper; whereas, the main roof surfaces , which were for►nerly � clay roo►ing �tile, are now composition shingles. Also, �he several skyligh�ts have been covered up. For the most part, tne granite ex- terior is in good condition. However, some deterioration has taken place due to wea�hering and struc�ural �movemen�, in particular: 1 . At the fourth f7oor cornice line on both East and West faces , seven � triangular pieces broken off - each abowt one-half cubic foot in volume. ' � 2. Slight se��lement at the North end of the West �ace - several � , stones fractured and joints opened up. � 3. ' Stone lin�el over sidewalk - level en�rance on East face is fractured. �� • __ ' 4. Some snalling on face of base course on South face about one foot above sidewalk level . Cause uncertain. 5. FlUnking wall of exterior stairs �o Basement and Sub-basement on West side of building evidence movement. A�tempts to shore up wall have been made. The most serious change e►�ecting the exterior appearance is th�e addition of a wood framed enclosure for the �ruck loading dock at �he West face. • Me��al flashing has been inserted in the stone jointing, and brick in fill � has been used at the arched openings ofi this entrance. This work can be removed and the entrance restored to its or�iginal condition. � (b) Tn�erior ' All of the main structure, and most of the parti�ions, and finishing � materials are original . 7he major changes to the interior are as follows: 1 . The original coal-�`ired boilers have been removecl, and stean is now �urnished by Northern Sta�es Power Company. Hence, the two-story coal . bunker and boiler room stand e�npty. 2. 7he monumental lobby at the North entrance has been bisected by a fu�l- height partition; and in the West half, the marble walls have been painted. 7his room is to be restored to its original condition, in- '� cluding the repair of �he marble mosaic floor in both the �obby and � vestibule. . } � � . �� 3. In 1927 , the Q1Strlct Court No� 1 on tne thlyd floor ��as reduced , in sizc G� the 1ns�alla�io� oQ a 7owered cei�ling and by partition- ing ofi the rear (West) end oi the room�. The floor area will be increased to i�s original dimension, but the ceiling will probably be lef t in its'present condition, since it is still quite high and the acoustics of the room are very good� 4. The decorative leaded glass ceiling panels in the Courts Roo�s have been covered with opaque paint - probab�y a� the time the skylights a�ere covered over. 7hese are to be restored to their original con- dition. 5. The various elevators require particular attention. The two elevators in the Southeast area of. the building h�ve been removed, although the decorative gri7le work surrounding tne Shaft is intact. 7he two ele- vators in the center of the Noy�th end or the building have solid shaft- ways (not origina'i } , a7though they are �till attendant operated, � rather than automatic. Directly opposite this pair of elevators is � a single open�gri�le work cab and shaft with an open stair surrounding it. A single service eleva�or is locat�d in the Southwest area, and serves only first floor, basement, and sub-base�nent. _� 6. The intrusion of water has caused exten�ive damage to wooden floors . �' (buckled, rotted) ; plas�er walls and ce�lings (disintegrated, fallen) ; • plaster ornamental mouldings and capitals (disintegrated, faller,) : �� and possibly to ironwork (to be investigated) . There are several source � „ - of entry of water, inc7uding broken interior downspouts, roof leaks , broken window glass, and open masonry joints. 7. The lighting and electrical distribution throughout the building ��ill re�uire complete renovation. In 1940, � new substation ��as installed ir ��he South end o� the sub�basement. �'his provides adequate electri- � cal capacity for the building , but the existing manner o` distribut;on is not suited to the nature or the building. The exposed runs of bus- , duct and conduit must b� replaced with concea7ed wiring. Niost of the rooms in the building have been relighted with industrial type fluo- � rescent fixtures. In general , these fi�ctures will have to be removed and replaced with suitab7e means of i7luniination. � 8. The North half of the fif th �loor has b�en remodeled to provide general � office facilities. 7his remodeling included a lowered acoustic tile � ceiling with recessed f�uorescent fix�ured and vinyl abes�os tile f7oor. Since this area will not be visited very much by the general public, it may be left in its present cond�tion. � � ;� . � � , �.r., � 9. The Up-town Postal S�tation occu�ies the erntire South half of the first �''` , �loor, di1G consists of receiving, sorting,, selling, and shipping func- � tions. A �ransluscent glass skylig�� over �he central portion of the work a��ea provides necessary securi�y `o; 'the area, but blocks �he vi ew of the drarrra�i c coen 1 i gh�� wel� whi ch ri ses from the second �through the •�our�h floors, and, in turn, has a glass skylight at the fif�h �loor level . By relocating the postal s�ai,ion in another ' � building near-by, it will be possible to open up this dramatic cen- tral light court to the first floor. (2} The effec� of building preservation on �he environrnent of the surrounding his- � toric area. ' Rice Park, in the heart of downtown Sai�t Paul , was given to the City in 1849 � by Henry -M. Rice. :� provides an appropriate setting for two of Saint Paul 's iinest architectural �reasures - The Old Federal C�urts Building and the Main Public Library-Hill Reference Library Building. The first �is a powerful , romantic Romanesque si.ructure of grani�e which domina�es the skyline; the � � second is a proud, sophisticated Paliadian Suilding of limestone. ?hey are • oependent upon each other to estab1ish the cultura9 integrity of this urban ' space. . . � (3) General outline oF investigations and analysis to be conducted. � (a) Archi�ectural Investigation t�"` 1.

Use P 1 an � . (]) There are three basic concepts which guide the ef�Qrts to preserve and rehabilitate the Old Federal Courts 6uilding: � , 7. A sense of responsible s�ewardsnip of our Cultural H�ritage: "One ofi the mos� visible urban manifestations pf wasted resources is what we as a society do with buildings - all types of buildings - commercial , residential , industrial , governmen�al . As a society, and as individuals and groups , we deple�e these resources with only a mini- • mal regard for maintenance. 4Jithout regard �or the physical resources utilized, we allow buil�dings to deteriorate to, �he point where they . must be demolished. By this at�itude and action we dramatically i]lustrate for each new generation in our society that resources are � expendable, that we have no respect for either' ar� or artisan, labor . or laborer. . � In rejecting the continued maintenance and renova�ion oT usable physical facilities , we are �eaching our successors a;� attitude toward 7ife itsel►. If the produc�s of this artisan,' cra�tsman, l,aborer are � not wor�h preserving and using (and use is the only justification for preservation) , then in effec� we are teaching ,our children that human � life and effort are meaning7ess. Because NMSC sa profoundly rejects the idea that cities have facilities r`,� and resources which they can afford to waste, the college i�s eager to . be fully involved in the preservation of the Old Federal Courts Building . and in its conLinued utilizataon as a viable and impor�an� s�ructure, illustrative of much that �s grea� in ur•ban living, including tne con'�ributions of ordinary men and women (if such there be) as well as the contributions of the great. Our commitment to the OFCB is becoming symbolic of our commitment to the renewal of urban life generally." . , David E.

The Cultural and Educational Ou�reach to the communi�y. - See Exhibi� T The a�minis�trative base of n�any new progr�ms will be lo�ated in �the buildin , and a�Fford coordina•�ion of e�forts and economies of operation. Nowever, the ef�ec�ts of �hese programs wi11 be Community-w9de an� even State-wide in scope. 7he Council and �he mzmber agencies thereor, housed in �the buildzng, provide extensive programming throughou�� he sta�e of Mim�esota. 7h� Schubert Club, �hrough its scholarships �and reci��al � music camps df1G' school residenc Programs, the Philhan-nonic, through its . internationa] Y programs, and the Art Center, through its programs serve a broad state-wiae base.

They will be used ,as meeting rooms, rehearsa] rooms, and for small performances by member agencies, �i,he S�ate College, and the general public. (b) The marble-faced Nor-�h lobby and the cen�ral area of the South orti the first floor (beneath 1:he light cour�) wi71 be for en�ral p on of for occasional special exhibi�ions or performances in connectionbwithuactand vi�ies in other areas of the building. The south court area, which is pre- sently used as the Post Office work area, wi]1 become a G�rden Cour� - a gathering place - open to �he 7ight court above. This will involve �he re- moval ofi the Post Oifices sorting cases, the rows of indu�trial lights, �he '• glazed skylight, and the network of observation ca�walks. The furnishing of this Garden Cour� will consist of movable benches, potted plants, scul ture and possibly a foun�a�n, p , (c) The spaces surrounding th� first �Floor lobby and Garden Co,urt wi]1 be rented for craft shops, flower shop, import shops and a lunch room. � (d) 7he en��ire second floor will be used by th� Mi�nesota �useum of Art for exhibi�ions of pain�ings, sculpture, and crafts. The balconies on the third and fourtih floors wiil also have exhibits instal7ed by the MMA.

(g) The South part o� the fifth floor (around the light court) will contain Ar� studios and cla$•srooms of the Minnesota Museum of Art. � (h) 7he North part of the fifth floor will house City and County agencies. (i ) The basement and sub-basement areas will be used for restaurants, ex- . hibitions, storage, shops , and mechanical rooms. (j) All areas of the building will be available �Co the public - see attached ' plans (Exhibit F) for designation o► revenue-producing rooms. (k) The success of �he Old Federal Courts Building undeN its proposed use will be measured in terms of the number of people in the com�uni�y who visit i� because o� the exhibits, the classes, the mee.�ings and per- formances , the restaurants and shops , or just because it is a grand building to visit. By incorporating diverse, but comoatible func�ions . a�d activities in the building , a broad spectrum of �he public �vill come �o know the history and artistry of an earlier period of St. Paul . � (1 ) Since i� is proposed �ha� i.he Arts and Science Council will operate the building (as it now opera�es the St. Paul Arts ar,d Science Center) , a � high standard will be maintained in the o�er��tion of restaurants and . shop's. Tne principal ob�ective in incorporating rental areas is to ,--,.,� generate interest in the building, and secondarily., to generate revenue � _ �to help offset the operating and maintenance .costs of the building. (m) 7he Time Schedule 1isted under e (above) is subject to the follovring restraints: 1 . 7ime interval of staged reviews by governmental agencies. 2. Reloca�ion of branch Post Office outside the building. This m� be accomplished duri.ng the ��vestigation and construction documents ,, sequence. 3. In reference to �I�e identification of financial resources , I believe ' it is important to put into perspective the capaci�y of the Saint Paul/ Ninneapolis area to fund projects of this type. In the last ten years over �50,00O,OOa have been raised for capital construction and invest- ment in the cultural insti�u�ions of the twin cities. Approximately � one-��hird of that r�oney has been raised in Saint Paul . Saint Paul has one of the largest founda�ions in th,e country, the Bush Foundation, and another major foundation is �he H911 , both of which have suppor�ed ' in the pas� the efforts to save this facility. In addition, there are � approximately 50 other foundations of varying wealth which can be ' solicited. � ' , ; . � {x; . , , i . ,. , _, �� , � . • _ ' In addi�ion to fou�;dation weali:h , the S int Paul metropolitan area � has many �'amilies of ex�reme weal�h who have shown past interes� - in pro�rams of this type and we feel ca be counted upon for support. � , To d�te, we have $350,000 of con�mitted oncy without a fund drive - being moun�ed or any effort being made to solicit funds. ' The Arts and Science Council raises. for i�s operational support at this �:ime $1 ,0OO,OGO per year. On a total and per capita basis, it • , is �ne largest fund drive by any arts council in the country, and a re�]ecti on on the wi 11 i ngness of the corr�nuni ty to suppor� our en- deavors. g.
