It was one of the first two buildings transferr-ed under the recent Federal Surplus Property Law. This law allows the General Services Administration to transfer buildings of historic and architectural merit to state and local bodies for revenue-producing activities. This was accomplished in 1973 when the City uf St. Paul acquired the building from the federal government for a cost of one aollar. The transfer represented a three-way partnership between the United States Government, the City of St. Paul , and the St. Paul Councll of Arts and Sciences. Title to the building was transferred to the City, in return for which the City agreed to pay for its upkeep and maintenance, a responsibility since assumed by Ramsey County. Architecturally, the building is a blend of two styles: the Richardsonian--a monumental and usuaily institutional version of the Rana�esque Revival style, with distinctive features characteristic of designs by N.H. Richardson--and the Chateau style, named after those fanciful pieces of domestic architecture originating in the French Loire valiey. Elements in the design derived from Richardson are the low Syrian arches, treatment uf the windows in vertical groupings, use of carved stone decoration and beehive finials, and the strong central tower in the first plan. One of the most typical features is . t1�e later "belltower" evocative of the Alleyheny CountX buildings in Pittsburg, and al�uost a replica of the massive tower in the Richardson design for Albany Episcopal Cathedral in New York State. the more urbane refinements of the Chateauesque include asynmetry of plan and detail , steep pyramidal roof, prominent tourelles, and use of suwoth finished granite on the facades. Also in the Chateauesque mode is tlie ebullient variety uf fanciful chimneys, dorn�ers� gables, and railings at the roof level , complete with "candle snuffer" roofturrets, whose green copper caps cuntrast with the scalloped red terra cotta behind then�. The exterior of the building is graced by two dominant towers of �nequal and therefor, all the more interesting statures. The base contains round arched, or Syrian arched, entrances on all four sides, and tall rectangular windows which flank the south and east entrances. A heavy continuous horiiontal molding marks the top of the first story. The second and third stories are treated as a single entity, with windows of both vertically aligned under arches. In keeping with chateau elegance, this second register is given a lighter, more delicate architectural treatrnent. The top zone, also of two stories, includes pyramidal roofs and the clock and "bell" towers. It contains an exuberant array of small windows, dormers, and conical peaks--the rooftops of the rounded towers or tourelles. All four sides are handsomely detailed. and originally their facades were intended to be syimnetrical . A revised plan in 1898 made it impossible to maintain an overall syimietry, since it included a northern extension of uneven shape. • SAINT PAIJI. �FRITAGE Pf�SfR11ATiq�l �"MISSItN S1TE I�''IINATIq�I Fq�''I VII NIIRRATIVE: HlSTORY APO SIGNIFICN�CE OF SITE continued Excavation for the building began in 1892, and it was formally dedicated as a federal courts building and post office ten years later. Willoughby J. Edbrooke, Supervising Architect of the Treasury at the time of the first excavation is often credited with the design. However, since the function of the Supervising Architect was essentially mana- gerial , it seems unlikely that Edbrooke did more than put his stamp of approval on a desi�n that had been worked out beforehan� by unknown members of his staff. American_ Archttect and Buitding News stated in an article published in 1891 : it is hardly necessary to say that the supervising architect dces not, and cannot, do much professional work with his own hands and head. For all such services, he is provided with designers, draftsmen, com- puters, experts, and engineers in unlimited numbers, while he is himself expected to divide his time between keeping an eye on his staff. awarding contracts, and meeting with proper blandness the exactions of Congressmen. In her book on Landmark Center, Eileen Michels notes the striking resemblance between the building in St. Paul , and three contemporary government buildings in Milwaukee, (lmaha, and Washington D.C. In fact, a description of the Washington buildinq published in the March issue of American Architect and Buildin News in 1892, was reprinted verbatim in the St. Paul paper as escrib ng that city's new federal building. Furthermore, as legislation allocated funds for more construction, the building design evolved until-=by 1898--it was planned to fill the entire city block. This was long after Edbrooke had left the job of Supervising Architect, so, et most, he could have initiated only part of the design of the building we see today. [n its functions as courthouse and post office, the building has been associated in myriad ways with the day-to-day life of St. Paul residents through the twentieth century. To some degree, it is associated with historically significant figures as well . Local recruits for both world wars registered in the building before leaving for military duty. Volstead, the Father of Prohibition, was officed in the building during the Prohibition Era, while in the courtrooms, local people caught up in the legal and social chaos brougFit on by the Volstead Act, stood for trial . Truman and Eisenhower both delivered campaign speeches from the balcony over the Fifth Street entrance, both getting there in the same undignified way as everyone else� who has evPr stood there--by crawling through the window of the office behind the balcony. TI�P courtrooms of the building hosted trials of scxne of the century's most notorious criminals, including members of the Ma Rarker and the John Dilling�r gangs. Since 1973, Landmark Center has been extensively restored. The exterior has been washed. the tile roof replaced, and twenty-five miles of mortar joints have been raked out, filled and weatherproofed. The interior has seen removal of governm�nt issue �102A green paint from its marble walls. removal of linoleum from the mapie . • ' ' SAINT PAUI.. �ERITAGE Pf�SERVATIq�i Od"M1SSlq�l SITE I�''i1NATIq� F�iM VII NARRATIVE: HISTORY At� SIGNIFICANCE OF S11E continued flooring, and installation of a new protective. translucent cover for the large center court skylight.

The architectural importance of Landmark Ce ater ie well-documented; the quality of the detail work on both the interior and the exterior of the building make it an outstanding example of craftmanship.

In response to the Council 's concerns, the Heritage Preservation Commission asked Mr. Robert Hall , Skyway Project Manager, to give a general informational presentation and to comment specifically on the skyway system's potential effect on those six downtown sites. Mr. Hall 's comments 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. The Heritage Preservation Commission, therefore, respectfully requests the City Council to take the nominations of the six downtown buildings (St. Paul Building, McColl Building, Pioneer/Endicott-Midwest Buildings, Landmark Center, St. Paul 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 Committee to consider this matter before it is brought again before the full Council . I have attached a summary of Mr. Hall 's comnents before the Cormnission. 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.

Sandeen and Commission Members: . As requested, I am summarizing my presentation made to the Corrimission at your regular meeting of 14�arch 8, 1979, concerning the St. Paul Skyway System. As you recall, the first part of my presentation covered those skyway bridges which are either currently under construction or "programmed" for �onstruction in the near future. By "programmed", I mean those skyway bridges for which fun�s are presently available: A. Brid�es under construction 1. Dayton to ti�abasha Court over ��/abasha St. 2. Bremer Building to Donatdson's over Seventh St. - 3. Donaldson's to Metro Square over Robert St. 4. Mears Park Apts. to Park Squace Cotart over Sibley St. � B. Bridges Programmed for Construction 1. St. Joseph's Hospital to Gallery Medical Offices over St. Peter Street 2. Northwe�tern National Bank to Tawn Square cver Sixth Street 3. Bremer Building to Town Square over Minnesota St. 4. Athletic Club to Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Building over Cedar Street 5. iVlinnesota Mutual Buiiding 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; therefare, they are in the planning stage only, subject to future revision. The discussion, then, turned to those buildings downtown which the Commission has recommended to the City Council #or designation as Historic Preservation Sites. I was as�:ed to comment on the potential for futuce skyway bridges to each of the buildings: f� - . �:;.-;.�:� . _ : ��.`�:��-� , Page 2 , a l. ST. PAUL BUILDING - 359-353 �VABASHA STREET Comment: It is highly unlikely that any sky�vay connection �voutd ever be proposed to connect directly to this building. Future skyway bridges in this block would more likely be built from the Doerfler Square Suilding across \Vabasha; the Lowry � Medical Building across St. Peter; the Field Schlick 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 developrr►ent. either in the form of extensive r�modeling or new construction. 2. h1C COLL. BUILDING - 366-368 JACKSON STREET Comment: The Lowertown Development Corporation and the City are seeking both rehabilitation of existing buildings and new development for that block (Block 40), but present plans call for skyway connections in other buildings in � the block and not directly into the 1�icCo11 Building. 3. PIONEER/ENDICOTT-MIDIJEST BUILDINGS - ROBERT AND FOURTH STREETS Comment: Skyways into this block already exist. No fvture skyways are pianned at this time and would only occur when and if there were future cedevelopment of the north side of the block at the Empire Building. 4. LAhDMARK CENTER - 109 W. FIFT'H STREET' Comment: "fhere is r.early universa! agreement that this building should never be connected via a second level skyway. Planning done to date for pedestrian 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 AVD JAMES JEROME HILL REFERENCE LIBRARY - 90 N. FOURTH STREET Comment: Same as the Landmark Center — connection, if any, would probably be by tunnel rather than sky�vay. 6. MINNESOTA 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, Uc/est Publishing Co., a skyway ap�ears highly unlikely in the foreseeable future. 7. THE ST. PAUL CITY HALL AND RAMSEY COUNT'Y COURT HOUSE Comment: 7wo skyway bridges into this building are possible. The first �vouicf connect to the City Hal! Annex across Fourth St; the second wouid connect to the Commerce Building across Wabasha St. The first bridge to the City Hall Annex would 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 s�cond level connection would better serve the public if there �vere other second tevel connections (and possibly a People Mover Station) from new development in the St. Paul Hotel blocl< and remodeling of the Lowry �ledical Building on the first and second leveis. � ., Page 3 � ' n��-< ..,'�;� � F�y ��!, y , . ' The City has made no final decision on either of these future skyway connections and will probably not.ma4<e a firm decision until the DPM and the development iss�es for the adjacent blocks become more clear and more certaiR. , �Vith respect to the possible location of a skyway bridge connection f rom City Hall to the City Hall Annex, illustrations �vere presented w�ich show that the most desirable connection (aesthetically) would be into the west side of City Hall over the alley. Again, no final decision has been made on a speci#ic bri�ge or its possible alternative location. Finally, the question was asked about the design of present and f uture skyway bridges 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 of existing buildings and with new development. They are purpos�ly "neutral" in character so as to blend �nto the overal! street scene and not call attention to themselves to any great degree, They are considered more as "street furniture", with a standard, uniform size, shape and color. In my opinion--and this is only my opinion, no� any official City position—this uniformity �vorks better aesthe-tically than having a variety of bridge designs throughout the downtor,vn area. Tha�k you for the opportunity to meet with the Commission. If I may be of any further assistance, piease advise me. Sincerely, � �. _ Robert F.

City Clerk✓ . �� , �'��`�� A QUESTION AND ANStdER SUMMARY OF ISSUES RELATED TO HERITAGE PRESERVATION SITES � � 2/15/79 � ��,�� There were a number of uestions 1 q -- general and specific -- raised at the City Council meeting on February 1 , 1979 in regards to public hearings on ten proposed Heritage Preservation Sites. The City Attorney was asked for a 1ega1 opinion on some of these questions. In addition, the Neritage Preservation Commission thought that it would be helpful to present a brief question and answer summary of these concerns. Q. ) Several specific questions were raised about the ten sites up for hearing: 1 . Was the site on the National Register of Historic 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 r;;. Preservation Commission. Owners within 350 feet of said property :- were notified of the hearing to discuss potential designation. The ,�; "All List" and Early Notification List for each district were also notified of the public hearing for all 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. � 1.

Mr. Slavich and call again if there were further questions or �� objections. In recent correspondence,-staff has asked Mr. Slavich . -`k for a brief written statement of his position. 8. Minnesota Museum of Art �t,�l/ - Nomination originated from the Cort�nission as result of � considering the building a pivotal building in a proposed . Rice Park Historic District. Later the tentative district boundar•ies wer� redrawn excluding the Museum frer�� the potEntial - district, but the HPC felt the building to be outstanding enough to merit indi.vidual designation. • �� - HPC public hearing February 6, 1978 �� - Owner, Minnesota Museum of Art, supports designation `�: 9. St. Paul Public and James J. Hill Reference Lfbrary - National Register - HPC pubTic hearing February 6, 1978 • - The City of St. Paul is the owner.

Landmark Center � ��5��.,.,_ - National Register r�6 - HPC public hearing February 6, 1978 - The owner is Ramsey County. The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners was notified. Staff for the t�innesota Landmark's Board (which administers the Center) supported the designation at the public hearing. However, by oversight, the Minnesota Landmark's Board was not formally contacted for its position . ��*, ��iA � � ' �s ��..� i • � � 3 on designation. A resolution regarding desfgnation 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.) �4r. James Mann, Nhen speaking to the Luckert House designation, mentioned lack of action taken on a request for a district designation. Mhat Nas 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 possibie district. This research is now completed and will be forwarded to the Candi�ates 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 po�ver) 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 arPa. The "preservation program" for a distrzct wi11 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 reviewed 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�'f`�ie Cottunission's power is not absolute, and any permit 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. � • ��:;,;�:� . �, ,: °r , = 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 a11 recommended designations in light of planning considerations before they reach City Council . Q.) Are skyways prohibited in Heritage Preservation Sites or Qistricts? A.) No, like any other project a proposed 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 st�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 increased property value is certainly one value. If a building is not on the National Register, St. Paul . , designation wi11 make National Designation a greater likelihood When on the National Register the building would qualify for certain grants-in-aid; and if comnercial or income-producing may qual�fy for - tax benefits. � r� � SAINT PAUL HERITAGE PRESERVATION COP-1�1ISSION 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 . Nineteen 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 Heritage 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, aal of the indivldual 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 follows: . 1 . HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION � With the consideration of individual P�ational Register Sites almost completed, the Commission will concentrate on reviewing the three Plational Register Distric��s within St. Paul as potential municipal distr�Icts. The largest of these is the Historic Hill National Register District. At the recomrnendation of its Historic Hill Advisory Cort�nittee -- and for the purpose of public discussion only -- the Commission has tentatively proposed local boundaries identical to the State Historic Nill District (which includes the Woodland Park National Register District) in order to ensure that all citizens and community groups could speak to their desired inclusion or exclusion from a district. The Corr�nission has not 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 Comrnission tabled their recommendat�on, reduced district boundaries, and drafted a set of design guidelines for the �� / � � ,�-��'�dl'� 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' P�Oh1INaTIONS The Commission will , of course, continue to receive and evaluate nominations of buildings put forth by St. Paul. citizens or graups. 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 � W�ith nine sites designated and more pending it is probable that the Commission wiTl be reviewing building permit applications 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. � Therefore, the Corr�nission is charged in the ordinance with cor+ductinq . a citywide survey of historic sites. In 1979 the Commission will put together a joint grant application with the Ramsey County Historical 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. w , � r SAINT PAUL HERITAGE PRESERVATION SITES -DESIG�JATED APID POTENTIAL- DESIGNATED ST.
