The VIetnam Memonal m Washmgton, DC, and the State of Alaska's Veteran Memonal are very slrmlar m constructIon to each other, and are only elght- or ten-feet hIgh, and deSigned for a QUIET PLACE as shown m the attached photo copy of Alaska' s Veterans Monument This Memonal CommIttee demands that thIS SO-foot structure be buIlt at a locatIon where It wIll obstruct the view of, and the view from, the Historic Washington County Court House, WhICh property now hosts the CIVIl War Veterans' Memonal . I learned yesterday that the Memonal Committee had contacted an employee ofWashmgton County who d1d not object to that Pme and 3rd Streets locatIon However, the 300-foot vanance notIce to neighbors apparently was not sent, as reqUIred by law, to the responsIble partIes, the Washmgton County Board of Comnussloners ThIS d1stnct's County Comnussloner was never notIfied' The County Comnussloners have spent several rmllIon dollars restonng the HIstonc County Court House WIthm the CIty of StIllwater, and should have a large role m the declslon-makmg Not havmg the mmutes of the Plannmg CommiSSIon'S meetmg, I do not know the details on who IS to be honored by the memonal This memonal must be for the Veterans ofWashmgton County, NOT JUst for former StIllwater HIgh School students To do otherwise would exclude those students who had attended CatholIc and Lutheran and other pnvate high schools AIl StIllwater-based rmlItIa units mcluded COunty-WIde men, who served and died for theIr country m the CIvIl and Spanlsh-Amencan Wars SImIlarly, the StIllwater- based NatIonal Guard lUlltS mcluded county-WIde semcemen and women dunng World Wars I and II, Korean War, VIetnam, and Desert Storm I have been told that the DIstnct 834 School Board has turned down the comnuttee' s SIghtIng the memorial at the StIllwater Area HIgh School Why ISIl't the "Atple Park" at the entrance to the cIty the most suItable place for the Memonal Comrmttee to spend their $300,000 or plus proposal? I understand that they are gomg to ask the CIty of StIllwater for "seed money" ThIS IS NOT a CIty project It IS a Washmgton CountY-WIde project' The cIty has been willmg to offer a sIte, but NOT where an SO-foot monument WIll mtrude on ItS hIstOry, nor where It WIll be a dIstractIon to traffic at a very busy mtersectIon It definItely IS NOT a place for qUIet reflectIon' Please conSIder the above remarks m makmg your deciSIon on thiS matter Thank you .

At that time, the Councd conceptually approved the idea for a veterans memorial at the lot subject to fmal Council approval and the holding of a neighborhood meeting to review the plans (see letter of May 4, 2001 attached) On July 24th, a neIghborhood meetIng was held to present the plans to resIdents who lived in proXimIty of the SIte Several residents attended the meeting along with the representatives from St. Mary's Church and the Old County Courthouse. QuestIons were asked regardmg the projects design and veterans represented by the memonal. No one in attendance expressed concern for the height of the memonal. On August 6th, the City's Rentage Preservation Commission reviewed the design of the proposal. QuestIOns regardmg lIghting and landscaping were expressed. The clunbabdity of the structure was also a concern. The Rentage PreservatIon Commission recommended approval of the deSign of the structure On July 13th, the Planmng CommiSSIon reviewed the request for the height yanance. Thirty-five feet is allowed m the PublIc AdmmistratIon, P A, DIStrict, 80 feet is being requested. Again lighting, final landscapmg and monument secunty were of concern. Some Planmng Commission members felt the height of the structure was also an Issue. The Plan.mng Commisison recommended approval of the heIght variance. Other Staff Concerns The project was reviewed by CIty Staff and concerns for maintenance responsibilIty, clImb abIlIty (security) of the metal lattIce structure, mamtenance and SurvIval of the perenmal vmes was of concern. Some staff members felt the height of the structure at 80 feet was too tall and competed with the eXIsting downtown character and historic old courthouse. In addItIon to the request for use of the site, an unspecified amount of CIty "seed money" for the project has been mentIoned for constructIon of the memorial. Recommendation: ThIs Item IS presented to the CIty Council for reVIew and dISCUSSIOn.

The applIcant states ''the purpose of the memonal is to honor by name all service people kIlled in time of war, who have attended Stillwater area schools. It IS also Intended to serve as a focal point in recognIZIng all local veterans of mIlItary SerY1ce, and inform and educate the publIc about our country's wars and confhcts and local partlcipatJ.on In them". The sIte for the proposed memonal was deSIgnated by City Council as the center island areas of the city-owned parkmg lot at the above address. The memorial site is d1vided mto three sequentJ.al spaces, proceedmg from the south to the north. The first space or main entry from the south at Pine Street, would explain the history of StJ.llwater and the lngh school that once sat on this site. This would be accomplished on a precasted wall. The walls would be lit from the ground up. Each of the three sites would have a bronze and stainless steel d1sk set into the existIng bnck pavmg as a marker mtroducing each segment. The second space IS created In the existIng center "island" extendIng the pavers to form a 24 foot CIrcle bounded on the east and west by curving walls. These walls are used to describe the history of each war and milItary conflict. In the center of the space is a tall flagpole for the American flag The walls and the flag would be lIt by groundlighting. The third space is centered on a 75 - 80 foot conical shape that is dedicated to those who sacnficed theIr lives in military wars and conflicts. The shape IS nearly identical to the cities church steeples The monument consists of an 8-foot stone wall base that would have all the names of those who d1ed during these conflIcts. The corncal structure would be hoops and radIal frammg tubes makmg it somewhat transparent In the summer vines would be planted to grow up the tower. The mterior walls would have water sheeting over them. J. Conditions of Approval: . Should the Connmssion approve the request, staff suggests the following con<htions of approval: 1. All revisIons to the approved plan are to be reVIewed and approved by the CommUmty Development DIrector 2 Landscape and LIghtmg Plans be reviewed and approved by the Hentage PreservatIon CommIssIon. 3. Maximum height of monument shall be 80 feet. Recommendation: Demal. The memonal is proposed to be 75 to 80 feet high, the zoning ordInance for that dIstrict IS maxnnum 35 feet high. It is staff's op1Il1on that there IS not a hardshIp when the memonal could be bwlt to the allow height of35 feet. Findings: , 1. That a hardship peculIar to the property, not created by any act of the owner, exists. In this context, personnel financIal dIfficultIes, loss of prospective profits and neIghboring violations are not hardships justifying a vanance. 2. That a vanance IS necessary for the preservatIon and enjoyment of substantIal property nghts _ possessed by other properties in the same distnct and in the same VIC1Il1ty; and that a vanance, if granted, would not constitute a specIal pnvilege of the recIpIent not enjoyed by hIs neIghbors. 3.

School Veterans The site for thiS proposed memonal has been previously deSignated by City Council as the center Island area of the clty-owned parking lot Immediately north of the Hlstonc Washington County Courthouse (north of Pine Street, between South Third Street and South Fourth Street) The purpose of the Memonalls to honor by name all servICe people killed In time of war, who have attended Stillwater area schools It IS also Intended to serve as a focal point In recognizing all local veterans of military servtce, and Inform and educate the public about our country's wars and conflicts and local parbapatlon In them The proposed memonal Will provide a place for groups and individuals to gather to remember and honor local service veterans It proVides a variety of spaces for gathenng, ranging from an Intimate space for meditation at Its base to the inclUSion of the parking lot on occasion for larger groups The proposed deSign for the Memonal will leave most of the existing trees, paving and lighting Intact In the parking lot Two parking spaces at the south edge of the lot currently designated as accessible spaces Will become part of the entrance area of the memonal, these accessible spaces will be reassigned elsewhere In the lot, resulting in a net loss of three parking spaces The attached draWings and Design Statement explain the Intent of the overall deSign In greater detail This variance request is for height: part of the proposed memorial is 80' high; current zoning lists a 35' height limit ,\\\ t\\ft ~ ~ID\.,~q . A key element In the memonal's design IS the ability for VISitOrs to enter it and experience the vine covered, intimate space at Its base Another key element IS the proportions (height to diameter) of the open conical structure of the memonal A third conSideration IS the height of the trees - 35' to 40' - adjacent to the memonal The 80' height as shown on the drawings allows a 12'-0. diameter Klntenof space at Its base, keeps the conical shape proportional to the surrounding church steeples dotting the hillside, and allows the transparent upper portion to be VISible above the trees As conceptually deSigned, limiting the structure to 35' would unduly conceal it and not allow the intenor space at Its base Because the structure of the memonalls essentially a narrow, open framework, It Will be very light and transparent, Without the mass or denSity of an ordinary structure The bottom portion of It Will be covered In f10wenng Vines, adding to the memonal's positive overall contnbutlon to the site and the neighborhood Sincerely, Larson Brenner Architects . representing The Memorial to Stillwater High School Veterans Committee ~ Bnan Larson, AlA . - -...II. ~ _.. -:-' z '" ~.; fo ,~". ;'s' ",- II ~~f3 ~i 9.~> .\ ~ ,,...., .

City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission August 6, 2001 The former farmhouse 1S being retained, and plans were designed to do that, he said. Mr. Newman provided photos. He noted there are zoning issues, as well as cost issues involved in the demolition request. Mr. Newman stated a newspaper ad had been placed offering the creamery building for sale; there had been three phone calls, but no one further expressions of interest in the structure. Mr. Johnson asked if there were other old buildings on the property. Mr. Newman stated there 1S an old block garage, but the garage doesn't meet the timelines of the demolition ordmance. Mr. Newman also stated the company would be willing to accept offers on the creamery building until construction starts in two weeks. Mr. Johnson noted the applicant had done a good job in meeting the demolition ordinance requirements. Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Lieberman, moved approval of the permit. Mr. Lieberman asked about incorporating Mr. Tomten's idea regarding some type of commemorative plaque. Mr. Newman stated the Amundson family has asked that the required park dedication be named for the family and suggested that the park would be an appropriate location for such a commemorative/educational plaque. Motion for approval of the permit passed unanimously. Case No. DR/Ol-33 Design reVIew of exterior signage for DiaSorin Inc. at 1990 Industrial Blvd. Ross Buschman, representing DiaSorin. . Mr. Johnson asked if the existing monument sign on Industrial Boulevard will remain. Mr. Buschman stated the monument will remain as the main building is for sale and the new tenant likely will use that sign. Mr. Buschman noted there are two entrances off Northwestern Avenue; "American Standard Co." also will be removed from the north entry sign on Northwestern. The relocated sign will be of the same lettering as the Industrial Boulevard sign. Mr. Eastwood, seconded by Mr. Lieberman, moved approval as conditioned; motion passed unmmoo~. ~ Case No. VIDRlOl-39 Design review of ''Memorial to Stillwater High School Veterans" located in the parking lot north of Pine Street between Third and Fourth streets. Brian Larson, applicant. Present for the discussion were Brian Larson, architect with Larson and Brenner, and several members of the Veterans Memorial Committee, including Dave Swanson, John Kraemer, Gary W eissbauer and Julie Kink. . Mr. Larson reviewed the history of the project as well as the various design elements. He said the intent is to provide a focal point in general as well as to inform and educate visitors about the role local people have played in this country's various wars. The memorial itself will feature an eight-foot stone base, open on all four sides. The memorial will be constructed of a transparent, hght weight metallic material, and eventually be vine covered. The proportion of the memorial is nearly identical to the City's church steeples, he said. 4 -- City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission August 6, 2001 . Mr. Johnson asked if the arches from the original high school would be included. Mr. Larson said that was part of the original design competition. However, he said the arches are not part of the project at this time. Mr. Kraemer explained that the status of the arches is unclear. There was discussion regarding lighting. Mr. Larson said the intent is to have recessed ground lights. The flag must be lighted ifflown at night; the lighting would be by sharp cut-off lights, he said. Regarding maintenance, Mr. Kraemer said the intent is to establish an endowment fund to pay for maintenance costs; however, he suggested the City might be asked to help with snow removal, etc. As for landscaping, Mr. Kraemer said several garden clubs have expressed interest in helping maintain plantings. Mr. Eastwood, seconded by Mr. Johnson, moved approval of the design subject to review of fina1landscaping and hghting plans. Motion passed unanimously. Other business: Community Development Director Steve Russell informed the Commission that the City is requesting additional RFPs for the Territorial Prison site. Mr. Lieberman then invited Mr. Russell to the table to discuss concerns regarding the proposed parking structure at the Maple Island lot site. After discussion, Mr. Lieberman summed up the Commission's position: the Commission is . supportive of the plaza concept but would prefer that any parking structure not impact the view shed to the river. A question was raised about the status of the condominium project on North Main Street. Ms. Fitzgerald said the applicant has encountered some engineering difficulties. There was a general discussion of the Demolition Ordinance. Ms. Fitzgerald said the owner of Shoppe of Enlightenment, located in the former Cameo Costume location on Chestnut Street, is planning to paint and requested approval of the selected color. The consensus was to have the applicant appear before the HPC with the request. The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Baker Recording Secretary . 5 "- '- . . . H.P.C.

Attachments Application FormlLetterlDrawingslPhotos . . Memorial to Stillwater High School Veterans Design Statement Larson Brenner Arcluteds 807 North Fourth Street SbIlwater, Mmnesota July 27, 2001 . 1. Preliminary Project Understanding: What is the memorial's purpose? The Stillwater High School Veterans Memorial is Intended to honor by name all Stillwater area service personnel killed in time of war, and serve as a focal point in recognizing all local veterans of military service. A memonal of this type should have deep meaning and resonance, and be understood In many ways, at many different levels The memorial should offer a meaningful experience to children and adults, veterans and non-veterans, those who have come to it purposefully, and those who are simply drawn to it. The memorial should be able to be expenenced at one level from a distance, and when moving closer, the experience should change and become more rich and meaningful. . The memorial should offer the potential for a different experience each time It Is visited It should not be merely a cold, inert object, no matter how thoughtful or well designed. It should connect to the local community and high school, explain the historical wars and COnflicts, and remember the lives lost and celebrated It should speak of the cycle of life and death we all experience, reflected in seasonal changes and the beauty of nature. It should offer a place where prayer is naturally accommodated The memorial should consider Its context in both a regional and a more immediate senSf;t, it should reflect both the natural beauty of the St Croix Valley, the scenic beauty of Stillwater, and its immediate neighborhood. But the memonal should also strive to be simple and timeless In its design. It represents veterans from many different historical time periods, and needs to represent those from future conflicts as well. As a memorial, its reach is broad and deep and its design should resist the easy temptation to engage one histoncal style, based on its immediate context The memonal should be more than a figure and a list of names. It should create an environment - a series of outdoor spaces -In which private meditation and public celebration can take place. It should be a beautiful visual and phYSical focal point around which all can gather - as individuals, families or large groups 2. Experiencing the Memorial: How does the experience begin and conclude? . The MemOrial Site IS diVided into three sequential spaces, proceeding from the south entrance to the north. The first space bnefly explains the History of Stillwater and the Historic High School, and community bonds of the veterans The second space Interprets the Wars and Military Conflicts, explaining and plaCing them In local histoncal context The third space is a hVlng Monument to those who ultimately sacrificed their hves Each of these elements is deSCribed further below I. Entrance/Community and Historic High School Segment . The main entry to the site, from the south at Pine Street, has a bronze and stainless steel disk set Into the existing brick paving as a marker introduCing the entrance to the memonal. This diSk, repeated in each of the three segments, Identifies the site as the Stillwater High School Veterans Memorial Threading from this disk and weaving through the length of the site is a narrow band of bronze set Into the Plilvers This ribbon of shining metal metaphorically reflects the river and draws you through the site, connecting to the disks at each of the other main spaces. Anticipating the addition of a reconstructed arch from the histonc high school once on this site, the entrance to the site proceeds under this arch and provides two flanking spaces for memorial infonnatlon explaining the origins of Stillwater and the Historic High School that once occupied this site. II. Wars and Military Conflicts Segment The second outdoor space is created in the existing center Mlsland-, extending the pavers to fonn a 24 foot diameter circle bounded to the east and west by curving, sloped 4-1/2 foot wall segments These curving walls are made of textured, colored precast concrete Placed on their surfaces facing the walk are bronze or granite plaques which describe the history of each war and military conflict An soldier's image from each conflict could be photoengraved here. Space is provided fnr future conflicts and extension of these walls Built into the top of the walls are planters, from which f10wenng plants can cascade down. In the center of the overall space is a tall flagpole for the American Flag. III. Memorial Monument The third space is centered on an 75' tall conical monument to those who sacrificed their lives in military wa-rs and conflicts. This monument is a simple structure consisting of an eight foot stone base supporting a mostly transparent, open steel structure of hoops and radial framing tubes creating a shimmering, arbor-like conical wire frame, visible above the existing thirty foot columnar trees on the site There is no cladding on this delicate framework - It is open to the elements, allowing sun, wind and rain to pass through . The proportions of the conical shape are nearly identical to the tall, slender church steeples fonning the backdrop and dotting the hillSides of Stillwater. This is important In how it relates to its surroundings, because most people's first experience of the memorial will begin at a distance, WIth the monument portion VISible as a local onentlng landmark It would be visible as part of the city's skyline from the north entrance to Stillwater on Highway 95, from Pioneer Park, and (depending on time of year and foliage) from parts of Main Street and the Historic Lift Bridge. Appropriately, the height of the monument would be considerably less than the height of any of these steeples and the Hlstonc Courthouse The 8 foot high stone base of the monument curves and slopes inward. The base has large openings on axis to the north, south, east and west, allOWing entrance into the Intenor of the monument and movement through It On the faces of this stone base are carved (eIther directly In granite or on an embedded bronze plaque) the names of those who have died in service to their country, listed by conflict A . graphiC image of a tYPical soldier from each conflict may pOSSibly accommodate this Itst, and might help connect each Itst to the hlstoncallnformatlon previously . i . expenenced in the second segment There is space provided for the addition of lists from future conflicts At the top of the stone base IS a deep planter/gutter which accommodates earth, a drainage medium/system and a subsurface trickier irrigation system. From this penmeter, both perennial and annual vines and climbing plants can emerge Perennial vines will reach at least 30 to 40 feet vertically, and will usually flower once In the season; annual vines Will reach at least 10 feet vertically and will flower continually through the growing season. The plants and vines bring a dimension of nature, beauty and life to the monument In the spring and summer there can be an explosion of blossoms and scents and vanegated greenery; autumn will bring leaves turning into rich colors of fall, and winter will show the intncate and delicate tracery of the vines against the skyline The monument offers a different experience in each season for the visitor, and reinforces the Imagery of the cycles of life, death, and new life. . The exterior of the monument offers visitors semicircular benches, with expansive views of the city and nver, for sitting and contemplation. The Interior of the monument offers the wonderful experience of moving inside a quieter, more Intimate space, with a ceiling of soaring greenery and flowers, and soft, filtering natural light and moving shadows. There are benches offset from each of the four curving walls, allowing a place for rest, meditation and prayer. Planting Will spill over and down the interior walls, and a small gutter system at the top edge of the interior wall allows a constant flow of water sheeting down the interior walls, gurgling into a grated gutter at the base which collects the water. At the entrance of the monument area, two existing deCiduous trees are replaced with two white pine coniferous trees. The white pines frame the monument's entrance, bringing color to the site In winter months and recalling the importance of the white pine to the history of Stillwater and the St. CroiX Valley. 3. Detail Development: What about figures and images of the veterans? The inclUSion of figurative art or sculpture in a memorial like this IS an important and sensitive design issue. There are many ways figurative art or Images of soldiers can be incorporated into this design, and would look forward to working with you to detenmne the best solution As presented, our design would include a photoengraved Image of a soldier In each of the historical explanations of conflicts and wars found In the second segment. These Images may be repeated at the monument, graphically tying the names of those killed to the conflict in which they participated. An electronic informational kiosk may also be Included, or planned for in the future. ThiS kiosk (which has been successfully used in veteran's memonals In other parts of the country) consists pnmarily of an Interactive video touch screen In which vanous Images, Videos, sounds and information can be displayed IndiVidual biographies of those who have given their lives in service will be Included In this information . ~ ,. . . .

These properties are located in Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota in an area designated as the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition HPP A As a :result of my survey, I did not find any properties within the area that might qualify for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The complete papers generated. by this survey will be deposited with the City of Stillwater and the Minnesota Historical Society. 5 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater INTRODUCTION Between December 1, 2000, and June 1~ 2001, Empson Archives conducted a National Register survey of the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition HPPA residential area of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota. The project area was in Government Lot 4, Section 21, and in Government Lot 1, Section 28, T80N, R20W. Included within the survey area is the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition to Stillwater. The objective of the study was to conduct an intensive historical survey of the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition residential neighborhood bounded by, or on a line with, Fourth Street North on the West; North Main Street on the East; E. Elm Street on the South; and E. Sycamore Street on the North. There are 129 structures within this suroey area covering 90 acres. The work was conducted between December 1-, 2000 and June 1-,2001 by Donald Empson, the principal investigator; and his wife, Kathleen Vadnais. Donald Empson, the principal investigator, meets the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards. The property types in this survey included dwellings, associated garages and carriage houses, outbuildings, objects and structures, and businesses. These properties were located, photographed and their physical descriptions documented. The project team compiled building files on each inventoried site for the City of Stillwater's Heritage Preservation Commission. A project report was prepared for the City of Stillwater and for the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office. The format of the final report is determined by regulations of the Minnesota Historical Society. Properties within the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition residential area were evaluated for preliminary National Register significance in terms of one appropriate statewide historic context: "at. Croix Valley Triangle Lumbering (1848-1914)." The project team consulted the Stillwater historic context study (V ogel1998) in evaluating local significance and determined the appropriate context was: "Development of Residential Neighborhoods in Stillwater, 1860's- 1940's." This effort is part of the on-going program of the Minnesota Historical Society's State Historic Preservation Offi.ce (SHPO) which began after passage of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The SHPO administers the National Register of Historic Places program in Minnesota. In the early years of this program, the SHPO concentrated on basic inventories of the 87 counties in Minnesota on a county-by-county basis. 6 I .- I , I I I I I I eI I I I I \ - I I I ~ I I I. I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I {' I The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater Stillwater established a Heritage Preservation Commission in 1973 and, in conjunction with a federal grant from the Minnesota SHPO, contracted for is first National Register survey of the downtown commercial area in 1988. This study led to the placing of Stillwater's downtown commeI'Ci.al area on the National Register in 1991. In 1992-3, the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) received a Certified Local Government (CLG) grant and sponsored a study of historic contexts in the city, conducted by Robert C. Vogel and Associates. The final report, "Stillwater Histonc Contexts: A Comprehensive Planning Approach," was completed in July 1993. The Stillwater HPC has divided the city's neighborhoods into Historic Preservation Planning Areas (HPP As) and intends to proceed with systematic surveys of all Stillwater neighborhoods over the next decade. The CUITent report summarizes the results of the seventh HPP A to be systemically surveyed The six previous surveys were of the North Hill (Original Town) the South Hill (Original Town), the Greeley Residential Area, the Dutchtown Residential Area, the Holcombe's Additions Residential Area, and the Hersey, Staples" Co, Addition. 7 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater REsEARCH DESIGN The project area was part of Government Lot 4, Section 21, and part of Government Lot 1, Section 28, both in Township 30 N, Range 20 W. Included within the survey area was the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition to Stillwater. We have done a thorough study of the area, despite the considerable time and money constraints. We have used the yearly tax assessor's records collected in the State Archives and available on microfilm, 1861-1900, at the Stillwater Public Library - a gift of Rivertown Restoration. These records were generated much the same way they are today. Every year the tax assessor viewed all the properties in the city and made an estimate of the market value of the land and the improvements. By following a property through the years, it is usually possible to determine when the value jumped from that of a lot only to that of a lot with a building on it. This record also contains the name of the property owner through the years. While this kind of research is tedious in the extreme, it gave us accurate information that can be found in no other way. For those buildings built after 1900, we have used the tax assessor's figure to be found at Washington county courthouse, unless there happened to be a building permit. Rivertown Restoration recently paid to have the Stillwater building permit applications, 1886-1940, microfilmed. They, along with an index compiled by Kay Thueson, are available at the Stillwater Public Library. The applications give the date of building, the size of the structure, name of the owner, sometimes the name of the builder and architect, and other incidental information. There are also applications for repairs and remodeling. This information was invaluable and essential for this study. There are useful :records available in the Water Deparfment, the Fire Department, and the Public Works Department and in the Minutes or the Stillwater City Council that have never been used before. The Sanborn Insurance Maps did not illustrate the residential area, but they were useful in following the history of the some of the businesses. There are a number of unpublished manuscripts and some published reminiscences which contained useful information, but since they are often inaccurate, we only quoted them when we could verifY their information from another source. In general, we used only original sources for our research. For visual aids, there are two Bird's Eye View Maps or Stillwater drawn in 1869, and again in 1879. With their accurate representations of each house and 8 I .- I I I I I I I I eI I I I I t , , I ~ ....- ,- I I.

We talked to the residents of the area in cases where we had some uncertainties; when convenient we obtained copies of Property Abstracts. We also used the land records at the office of the Recorder of Deeds. We also used the Stillwater City Directories; consulted. the local newspapers on microfilm at the Stillwater Public Library, and pursued other research materials that were useful. We incmporated the information gleaned from our research in the context of Robert Vogel's Stillwater Historic Contexts and other research done previously in Stillwater. We reviewed the survey work on the properties prepared by the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission. We identified, dated, and cataloged the 129 properties in the Preservation Planning Area in the manner required by the Minnesota Historical Society. We discussed the architectural styles in the Preservation Planning Area and compared them to other Stillwater neighborhoods. We photographed all properties. We have prepared a report that describes the development of the area, recommendations for future survey work, and evaluated the pm.sibility of properties that might be eligible for local historic designation and/or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. We are not making any nominations ourselves. We have discussed any possible planning methods for preservation of historic structures, landscapes, and neighborhoods. We have attended three meetings with the Stillwater H.P.C. The work was conducted between December 1-', 2000 and June 1-',2001 by Donald Empson, the principal investigator and his wife, Kathleen Vadnais. 9 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater LYDIA Sixteen-year-old Lydia Ann Brown was entranced with her first view of Chicago in 1834. What had only a year or two earlier been a minor trading post at a swampy river delta was now a flourishing city of over 2,000 residents. With the opening of the Erie Canal, Chicago had become the gateway to the West, and fortunes were to be made in hotels, real estate, and retail goods for the trail west. Compared to Springfield, Pennsylvania, from whence she had just arrived, Chicago was the bright promise of the future. Moreover, a fortuneteller back in Springfield had told her she would meet the man of her dreams her first day in Chicago. Accompanied by her aunt, she checked into the Eagle hotel on Water Street. On their :first day at the hotel her aunt sent her down to the dining room for a pitcher of water. Dressed in a pink muslin dress with a low neck and short sleeves, a picture of rustic beauty from the backwoods, Lydia encountered the proprietor of the hotel, Paul Carli, in the dining room. She immediately realized he fit the description given her by the fortuneteller back in Springfield Paul Carli was a handsome young man of 29, born in Italy of a merchant father, wealthy, educated, an artist painter, and an 8(X:Omplished musit!iAn. Lydia, in penurious circumstances since the death of her father six years earlier, had" dodged along any way, picking wool, or spinning, or doing an;ything 1 could get,..." She saw her opportunity. Within six weeks, she became the bride of Paul Carli She later wrote: "As 1 never let anything good pass me, 1 married him--not for love, for [left my heart in Springfield-but 1 wanted money, and that [ got. · Alas for Lydia, Paul - whatever his other talents - proved to be a bad businessman. By 1840, he and Lydia had lost their two downtown Chicago prime properties, and, hounded. by creditors, had been forced to move some 35 miles west where he homesteaded a farm. The family of two had expanded to include two children, as well as Lydia's mother, and Lydia's two younger brothers. Christopher Carli was Paul's younger brother. Born in Germany in 1811, Christopher was educated at Heidelberg University where he studied medicine. He emigrated to the United States in 1832, first settling in Buffalo, New York, where he practiced medicine for three years. Dissatisfied with his new country, he returned to Europe for two years. But restless by nature, he came back to the 10 I .- I I I I - I I eI I I I \ I- I- I I { I I I .. I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I f' I - The South OrU!-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater United States, joining his brother Paul in Chicago ",-bere he practiced medicine for a year. Then he was off to New Orleans for a year, returning to Chicago in 1839. Joseph R. Brown, an authentic Minnesota pioneer, was Lydia Carli's older half brother. Born in 1805, he enlisted in the Army at age 14, and arrived at FOl't Snelling in the Northwest Territory as a drummer boy in 1819. Mter 20 years in the wilderness as a soldier and fur trader, Brown could see the advance of settlement moving north and west. Like other perceptive men of the time, he could also see that future wealth no longer lay in fur trading, but in townsite speculation. As the settlers came - and the settlers would be coming, no doubt - they would be establishing towns and cities. Brown foresaw that the speculator who owned the land of the town site could multiply his investment a thousand times by selling individual lots. By 1840, Brown was a very busy man. Not only had he numerous real estate ventUl'es, he was also heavily engaged in the politics of trying to establish a WISconsin Territory that would include all the area as far west as the Mississippi River. Brown needed people he could trust, and he looked to his sister, Lydia, and her family in Chicago. Paul and Lydia Carli were happy to leave their financial problems behind In the spring of 1841, Christopher Carli escorted his sister-in-law, Lydia, her mother, brothers, and children first to Galena, Illinois, and then by steamboat to Brown's home on Grey Cloud Island in the Mississippi River. The hapless Paul came overland to Grey Cloud Island, driving the familys livestock. But, suffering from a lack of food and the extended travel, the animals did not survive the journey. Leaving the women and children with Brown's Indian Wife, Susan, at Grey Cloud Island, the three men and Lydia's two younger brothers boated north on the St. Croix River to the head of Lake St. Croix where Brown had established a town site named Dacotah. There they built a large windowless house of tamaraC'k logs chinked with clay.l By the end of June, the Carli family had moved in. Their nearest neighbor was Francis McCoy on the point at what is now Bayport; the next closest was in what is now Marine on St. Croix. -Lydia Carli has the distinction of being the first white woman to live in the Stillwater area. Life at Dacotah was arduous at best. Lydia later reminiscenced that: "More than once in those bitter cold mornings have I sat with my back to the fire, holding one of my babies, wrapped in shawls or blankets, and seen the coffee freeze in front of me. " Another writer has a kinder view: "The logs were long, the house was two stories high and large for those days, and a little later the one solitary fiddle [Joseph 1 There is no existIng plat ofDacotah, but from aU accow1ts it was located somewhere between Brown's Creek and Battle Hollow m what JS today the north end ofSbllwater Lyc:ba Carll. m later years, remembeIed the Tamamck House as bemg JUSt north of what would be today the mteISection ofE Sycamore Street and N Mam Street 11 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg AdcUtion to Stillwater Brown's] at times called a great many nimble choppers and other workmen, thorough-bred white people and half breeds, to their feet in that old house. It was the scene of much innocent hilarity. .Z Within three years, Paul and Lydia, with their family built a two-story house near the mouth of Bolles Creek in what is today Mton. Christopher Carli remained at Tamarack House, although as the only doctor within 100 miles, he spent much of his time traveling from patient to patient. His obituary in the Stillwater Messenger of November 12, 1887, recalled that: "During this period, the practice of Dr. Carli in its range of territory covered not only the customary trips to Sunrise, Fort Snelling and Red Wing, but as he was the only physician in the northwestern portion of Wisconsin territory, he was often called to points at a greater distance. 'One of his patients was an Indian princess, daughter of Little Crow, chief of the Siowc nation, his headquarters being sometimes in Washington, sometimes in Ramsey, and sometimes in some other county.' On one occasion the doctor went to Red Wing to visit a patient and traversed thirty miles of the distance on skates, an Indian rumier preceding him to make sure that the ice was safe. " In March of 1846, the ill-fated Paul Carli drowned when his small canoe overturned while retrieving a duck he had shot, and he was unable to swim in the heavy clothes he was wearing. Shortly thereafter, Lydia, trailing her five children, returned to Dacotah to work at Tamarack House, which had taken on a new identity as a saloon and hotel. After the prescribed year of mourning, Dr. Christopher' Carli, and his sister- in-law, Lydia Ann Carli, were married by Joseph R. Brown who was, by then, Justice of the Peace for the Stillwater Precinct, St. Croix County, Wisconsin Territory. They left the Tamarack House and what was by now the abandoned town site of Dacotah and moved a half-mile south to the bustling town of Stillwater where the Doctor built an office and pharmacy, and, with Brown as a partner, dealt in logs.8 . As a part of the lumber business executed by "Brown & Carli", Dr. Christopher rafted logs down the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers to St. Louis, Missouri, a flourishing city where the demand for lumber was insatiable. In the course of his travels, he must have met with the German-born Frederick 2 The [Stillwater] Menenger, November 12, 1887 3 Several sources con1nbuted to tlus biographical sketch Fifty Years m the Northwest by W H C.

Eager to take part in the harvest of the virgin white pine of the St. Croix Valley, Frederick Schulenburg traveled in Stillwater in the summer of 1853 to look for a mill site. He must have been pleased, for he purchased, among other property, Government Lots 2 and 8 of Section 21, an area that is today roughly bounded by E. Alder Street, E. Sycamore Street, N. Fourth Street, and the St. Croix River:' On his property, he built a large sawmill, and established a company town. The remainder of the riverfront, north from Battle Hollow (the site of what was to be the Territorial Prison) to what was to be E. Sycamore Street, approximately 92 acres, belonged to Dr. Christopher Carli who had acquired it from the original claim of Joseph R. Brown and the town site of Dacotah. G (See Page 14). In January of 1854, Dr. Christopher Carli and Frederick Schulenburg platted their combined properties into Carli and Schulenburg's Addition to Stillwater.s This was the first addition to the Original City map, and its 57 Blocks more than doubled the physical size of Stillwater, and extended the city boundaries along the waterfront over a mile north. Carli and Schulenburg might well have platted a new village with another name, but they perhaps surmised that the sale of their city lots would be enhanced by the name of Stillwater. With this addition, they added a number of new lumbering related street names to the city map. The new east-west streets were named for trees: Elm, Aspen, Orange (now Willrins), Magnolia (now Stillwater), Almond (now St. Croix), Sycamore, Juniper (now vacated), Spruce (now vacated), Balsam (now vacated), Poplar, Willow, Hazel, and Alder. For the north- south streeots they continued the numbered streets from the original city plat: First, Second, Third, Fourth, but they added Broadway and Lake Street. Setting a pattern for future developers in Stillwater, they did not designate any part of their large addition as a public square or parkland. . Christopher and Lydia Carli were now the owner of Blocks 1 to 28 of the Carli and Schulenburg's Addition; (see Page 15) Frederick Schulenburg owned Blocks 24 to 57. On his property, Schulenburg built a mill and a mill town that was first named Charlottenburg; later it was known as Dutchtown.7 But Christopher and Lydia Carli had no such grand plans or resoUrces for their property. It was to develop in a much different and slower manner. And that is the story we have to tell. ..

From the 1877 Sectional Map of Stillwater from Accurate Surveys by Myron Shepard I 15 'l'he South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater 1HE FEvER On the western frontier of the United States, the 1850's were boom years, and optimism was at an all-time peak. The eastern part of Minnesota, and its cities, including Stillwater, were growing rapidly, and the one thing every newcomer needed was land: land to farm, land to live on, land for commercial enterprise. The businessmen of Stillwater were well aware of this demand, and many of them bought tracts of land to develop into building lots. Carli & Schulenburg's Addition was only the first of 20 additions made to Stillwater in the 1850's. Stillwater began with a sawmill in 1844. Five years later, when Minnesota became a Territory, the population was estimated at 609.8 A year later the population had jumped to 1,052. Most of the residents lived in what is the downtown area today. But boom times lay ahead. Thousands of immigrants were pouring into the Territory, and the price of land was rising rapidly. Through the early 1850's, the price of land doubled, and doubled again. The Territory was struck with the fever of land speculation. With the continuing influx of newcomers, all of whom needed a place to live, how could the price of land not continue to rise - or so the speculator reasoned. When Carli & Schulenburg's Addition was platted in 1854, the speculation in land prices was just beginning in earnest, peaking in the year 1857, when it is estimated that in Minnesota, at least 700 towns were platted into more than 300,000 building lots- enough for 1,500,000 people 9 Stillwater did not escape the speculation fever. The St. Croix Union newspaper was delighted to point out that: "About two years ago, Hersey, Staples & Co. gave $600 for a lot [wluch] last week sold for $8000 to Mr. Dodge... We add that when Hersey Staples & Co. made the aforesaid purchase, many thought they had given a very high price. ..but time will prove that the lot will increase as rapidly in value, in the next two years, as it has done in the two just passed. Mr. Dodge has already been offered $500 advance on what he gave. Our faith in Stillwater is unbounded. "10 On another occasion, the editor struck back at any who might doubt the future. lTheodore C Blegen Mumesota A HJstmv of the State u. ofMmnesota Press. 1963 Page 159.

I I. I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I {' I The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater -Less than two years ago they sneered at Stillwater's being anything outside the Basin, or Original Limits [of downtown]. We well recollect that we were laughed at, by some, for pitching our tent out in Holcombe's Addition-it being then a wild unbroken wilderness. But what are now the facts' There are over 100 houses out there now-some of them first class-and about 600 inhabitants. Lots which, when we located there [two years ago] could be had for $25 cannot now be purchased for less than a hundred dollars-and they are constantly rising.. Lots...have been enhanced in value four-fold within the past two years, and the way we read the signs of the times, they lack much of having reached their maximum.ll MORE ADDITIONS A nticipating quick profits in the land, Stillwater entrepreneurs did what .c1others throughout the settled portions of Minnesota Territory were doing: they platted more Additions. The trick was, they reasoned, to buy the land by the acre and sell it by the -foot. "STILLWATER FOREVER Another Addition to Stillwater Additions to Stillwater are all the rage now. Within a few days past, Jacob Maeny has sold to Joshua B. Carter and Gov. Ramsey, 140 acres of land lying west of Stillwater and adjoining Holcombe's Addition, for $7000. It is soon to be suroeyed into town lois. We rejoice to see this movement. There are now three heavy St. Paul capitalists and speculators deeply interested in Stillwater; viz: R. F. Slaughter, Col. H M'Kenty, and Gov. Ramsey. We are glad to know that St. Paul speculators are vitally interested here, because it argues thqt they now see what we saw nearly three years ago; that is, that Stillwater is destined inevitably to be a great place. They now see that Stillwater is not a 'one-horse_ town, chucked down among the hills in the sand.' They now see that Stillwater has unrivaled advantages-that she has much capital-that a Rail-Road ;,S to come here probably before one runs to St. Paul, and that Stillwater is rapidly advancing in all that contributes to material prosperity and greatness.

During the week past Mr. H. R. Murdock purchased ten acres of land adjoining Cooper's Addition, from Mr. Slaughter, for $100 per acre. Two years ago this same land was sold for five dollars per acre. Three thousand seven hundred dollars have been recently offered by Mr. Gorgas, the banker, for a lot on Main street, corner of Chestnut- 36 -feet front and 80 -feet deep--and refused. The owners-the Messrs. Murdock, Druggists-intend to build a splendid stone building on it in the spring. This is at the rate of about $160 a front -foot, and be it remembered that the whole lot, of which this is only a part, a little over a year ago, sold for $10 a front -foot. This, to say the least, is a very fair advance. There are yet many splendid investments and fortunes to be made in this city-which is, as yet, in its infancy-and every day presents new evidences of its future greatness. ..On every side preparations are being made for the erection of capacious ware houses,' Bubstantial-and in some instances-fine private dwellings, and every thing promises a season of unprecedented prosperity. "18 Christopher and Lydia Carli must have had visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. With over a 150 large lots for sale - twice that many lots if they were divided in half - the potential wealth was staggering to a couple who eked out a modest living. But there were two impediments to the sale of the Carli's lots. Christopher was a true entrepreneur, and he had his fingers in many pies. He was a physician, and he established the first pharmacy in Stillwater, which he sold in 1854. He started and managed the first bank in Stillwater, and was a member of the first city council. His 1887 obituary read: <<Almost all of the early business companies or organizations have his name as one of the proprietors and to his energy and business capacity many of them owed their success."14 He also owned a number of other lots 13 St Croix Um01l, Februaty 13. 1857. 14 Obituary m StUlwater Democrat.

South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater throughout the city, particularly in the downtown area. In other words, Christopher was diversified. Lydia was taking care of their children. She had Dve children by Paul, and another two childl'en with Christopher. The second impediment was the geography of Carli's lots. The terrain is hilly and uneven, and bisected by ravines. This meant the lots were very difticult to access without the streets being "opened", i.e. graded and:filled. In the 1850's, the city, with its meager resources, could not invest the considerable amount of money necessary to provide access to lots far removed from the center ot the city. There was only one street leading north, and that was Lake Street along the course ot what is today, N. Main Street. As a consequence ot these two impediments, the Carli's sold, in these "boom years," fewer than a dozen lots in only five of the entire 28 blocks. And those lots that were sold were almost entirely around the Territorial Prison in Battle Hollow where there was relatively easy access, and work in the vicinity. (See Page 21) Then things got worse. THE CRAsH On the 24th of August, 1857, the Ohio Lite Insurance and Trust Company of New York tailed; its creditors were forced to default, and a calamitous chain of events spread across the United States. Within two months, almost everybody in Minnesota was in debt; the Minnesota Territory was literally emptied of cash. City lots became virtually worthless. Those who were formerly wealthy found themselves bankrupt. Stillwater boosters were in despair, and the city was never to fully recover its boundless optimism after this Depression of 1857. Writing of St. Paul, Thomas Newson described what was also true of Stillwater: "And then came the terribly hard #mes. With no money, no values, no property, no business, little or no emigration, no banks, or banks with empty vaults, no courage, no hope, notes due, mortgages foreclosed, men heavily in debt, land depreciated from fifty to seventy- five per cent, no trade, indeed with nothing to trade, no foundation to build on, no one can imagine the frightful condition of affairs in St. Paul in the latter part of the year 1857 but he who passed through it all...

Eighteen hundred and fifty eight, with its panics and monetary convulsions, its depression of trade and depreciation in value of all and every kind of purchaseable and ponderable goods and estates, has, thank goodness, departed for ever... " The population of Stillwater had declined, and all plans for the future were put on hold. A couple of the local banks, not being able to obtain cash, printed their own bank notes, and Washington County was forced to issue its own scrip payable against tax dollars that were di:fticult, if not impossible, to conect. Like other businessmen, C8l'1i was deeply in debt, and unable to pay his creditors. One creditor, Comelius McCarthy, attached several of his blocks, and it was not until a decade later with the help of F:rederick Schulenburg, that he was able to :regain possession. However, unlike most of the other speculators, C8l'li was able to pay the taxes on his property, and avoid seizure by the state for back taxes. SOIDIERING ON In the decade of the 1860's, the Civil War period, lot sales were s1ightJy more brisk. Most of the sales took place in Blocks 1, 6, and 7. (See Page 21). Block 7 contained 23 comme:rciallots backed into the hillside along the main street, Lake Street. As the decade progressed, many of these lots were sold, and the buildings upon them increased in value, thereby increasing ~e value of the unsold lots up on the bluff. One lot in particular, Lot 23, seemed to attract the greatest number of new owners. Encompassing what would today be the clifI on the north side of E. Elm Street, between N. Main Street and N. First Street, the lot was divided among an increasing number of new owners. The Bird's Eye View Map of 1869 (see Page 21) shows three buildings in that area; they may have been, in some way, connected with the prison that they abutted. Francis Aiple, a local brewer, had a $700 building listed in the assessors records for Block 6, Lots 4 & 5 as e8l'ly as 1861. Because he was then working as a brewer on the south end of Stillwater and because of the high valuation, it seems unlikely this would have been a house, but rather a commercial structure of some sort. (The 1869 Bird's Eye View Map indicates a large two-story building in the vicinity.) What was perhaps the first house built on Carli's lots was on Lot 2 of Block. 6, a small $200 structure the assessor noted in 1861 as the" house of Guanilla Curti." Today this lot is the location of a 1950's house at 904 North First Street. 20 1 .' I 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 , 1 I- .. - I 1 1 ,- '-- I -1-'- I I I I ! ! I i I I - - - - - - - - I , I !

The Prison was later expanded in size, and all the buildings shown here surrounding it were demolished when they were included Inside the Prison walls. Even at this early date, however, there were some houses and commercial buildings along lake Street (N. Main Street.) Map CourteSY EmTJson AnohmeR The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater In the ravine on the west side of Second Street N., there was a small building owned first by Peter Kattenberg, and later, by Joseph Wolf. Today that lot is the location of a newer house at 902 N. Second Street. In the 1870's, as Stillwater continued to grow, and as the streets were gradually extended up the hills from the center of town, the interest in Carli's lots increased. Shortly before his 60th birthday, in September of 1871, Christopher, hoping no doubt to show some profit in the face of Stillwate!"s increasing population, made a concerted effort to sell his lots in the addition he had platted 17 years earlier. By way of promotion, there was an article in the Stillwater Gazette of / September 5th: Improvements in Carli'. Addition By the courtesy of Dr. Carli, we enjoyed a pleasant ride yesterday through his addition in the northern part of the city. A new suroey has recently been made of the entire property, lots staked out, and the Doctor has a large force of men - about forty, besides several teams - engaged in grading streets so as to render it accessible for teams by an easy ascent. The city has built out in that direction so rapidly during the past few years, that these lots have become very desirable, located [a couple of words DllSsmg) eminence, with a magnificent view of the entire city, as well as the beautiful Lake St. Croix and the village of Hudson. These lots will be sold at low figures, and a( rare opportunity is presented to those desiring to locate in the pleasantest portion of the city. A well,16160 feet in depth, was dug many years ago, on an elevated part of the addition, and a large pump placed therein, but time and neglect have wrought their inevitable results. The well, however, is to be cleaned out, and the pump reorganized, which will afford an inexhaustible supply of pure water. In addition to this, the Doctor intends to drive by machinery, a never-ceasing volume of water from a large and beautiful spring below the bluff, f!ufficient to supply the whole addition. This newspaper "puff" piece was followed the next week by notice of an auction of "five hundred lots [I] in Carli's Addition, adjoining the Penitentiary, northrand west." (See Page 21) However, either the auction was not held, or there were almost no sales, for the land records record very few purchases in tbe fall of this year. 16 'Ilus weD and pump were on the east SIde ofE Ehn Street about two-th1rds ofthc way up the hill between N MaID and N Fast Streets It appears on the 1884 Sanborn Atlas, but IS nussmg - after they opened E Ebn Street - m the 1888 Sanbom Atlas. 22 I J I I I I I I I .

All of Block 12 (between N. Third & N. Fourth Streets; between E. W1Ikins and E. Stillwater Streets) was sold to local businessman, Dwight Sabin, for $1,000 in August of 1872.17 The first sales in Block 9 and Block 23 were in 1873; that same year, Russell Pease, a lumberman, bought Lots 2, 8, 4, & 5 in Block 4 for $700.18 (Those four lots remain in a single estate at 908 N. Fourth Street). The first sales in Block 10 were in 1874. The first sales in Block 17 & Block 22 took place in 1875. The:first sales in Blocks 2 & 8 & 11 took place in 1877. Blocks 18, 14, & 15 saw their first sales ill 1879. In June of 1877, the State of Minnesota, exercising the right of Eminent Domain, paid oft the owners, and took all of Block 1 of Carli's addition to expand the prison. 19 THE Two ATTRACTIONS There were two attractions that Carli's lots centered on, and this is reflected in the manner in which the neighborhood developed. The first attraction was the Territorial Prison in Battle Hollow, and the industries associated with it. The Prison itself gave employment to a number of :residents who chose to buy these lots because they were close to work. In those days, nearly everyone walked to and from work. A second major industry in Stillwater was situated both in the Prison and in two large buildings located on N. Main Street across from the Prison. It was Seymour, Sabin and Company, and its several offshoots. You cannot fully understand the Stillwater of the 1870's and 1880's, and the development of this neighborhood with knowing about this company. George Seymour was born in New York in 1829. At the age of 29, he came to Stillwater as a carpenter, and two years later, in 1861, he was awarded the cont:ract for constructing additional buildings at the Prison. Dwight Sabin arrived in Stillwater in 1867 with his mother and younger brother, and some experience at managing his deceased father's business. The two men combined to form the Seymour, Sabin Company, which, in 1870, built the hospital within the Prison walls, and deputy warden's house adjacent to the Prison. By then, the two men had connections, and they were able to rent the shops at the prison, using the convicts as a cheap labor force to manufacture doors, sash, blinds and barrels. In 1874, the business was extended to include the manufacture of agricultural implements. Their "Minnesota Chief" soon became the best-selling threshing machine in the world, and employment inside the prison walls and across the street soon reached close to a 1,000 men, including some 350 convicts. Seymour 17 X Deeds 178 lB W Deeds 499 l' 3 Deeds 13 23 The South One-Half of the Carli. Schulenburg Addition to Sti.llwater became less and less involved in the Company, while Dwight Sabin became its President. Sabin - and his business methods - were not universally popular by any means. One Stillwatel' newspaper, The Messenger, which billed itself as "The FEARLESS Foe of RINGS and RASCAUTY in BOTH PARTlES'20 had little time for Sabin, frequently referring to him as "Boss Sabin and his prison ring." As the company became larger and more profitable, there was increasing scrutiny of their use of the cheap prison labor, and in spite of their considerable political power, over time, new contracts for the prison labor were written that did not give such an advantage to Seymour, Sabin & Co. As their competitive advantage in labor costs dwindled, and the Company began losing money, they turned to the city of Stillwater. In 1881, the Stillwater City Council voted to give the company $100,000 to be financed by city bonds. In return, Seymour Sabin & Co. agreed, among other conditions, to build 100 houses within the city,21 and try to arrange the erection of another 100 houses through private parties. Furthermore, the company agreed to pay the interest on the bonds, if they could be exempt from any taxes on their real property, including their industrial properties.22 Then as now, the City Council was amenable to corporate welfare when it meant jobs, and they issued the bonds, to be followed by a second issue of another $100,000. But even this was not enough: The Messenger editorialized: <<]Joss Sabin on Thursday introduced in the house a bill for an act authorizing the city of Stillwater to issue $20,000 in bonds for current expenses. The boss has been instrumental 'in causing the issuance of $200,000 in bonds by our city within four or five months, mostly for his own benefit, and now he kindly enables us to issue $20,000 in bonds to pay expenses which should not have been incurred. When our tax is four per cent, as it will be within two years, the people will curse the boss in unmeasured terms for piling a mountain load of indebtedness on their shoulders. "IS - "Boss Sabin thinks perhaps the men who voted the $30,000 steal from the state treasury for his benefit might consider themselves in honor bound to send him to the U.S. senate.

He has sucked our city and state almost dry, and he must have plunder or he can not enjoy good health. "84 Not everyone shared this view of the company. Adroitly avoiding the issue of corporate welfare, a second Stillwater newspaper, The Lumberman, representing the corporate interests of the city, wrote in December of this same year: A Corner Stone of Prosperity When our readers see it stated that Seymour, Sabin & Co. employ about 850 citizens, or when they read the amounts of money paid to employees on the 15'h of every month, they need no farther argument as to the material benefit Stillwater receives at the hands of that great and growing corporation. But Stillwater is to be congratulated chiefly, not on the number of mouths the firm mentioned, feeds here, nor on the large amount of money distributed every month through the channels of local trade, but more on the character of the men drawn together by the demands of Seymour, Sabin & Co's business. It is the standing, not the number of men on which tme present prosperity and bright future prospects are founded, and the men gathered here by the business of this great company could not easily be succeeded were they taken away. In church and school and society; in all public enterprises, in local charities, and every measure for the promotion or religion, education, or business, Seymour Sabin & Co's men will be found active, prominent, and doing most effective work. They are of all creeds, and of all shades of political belief, but the nature of their work demands intelligence and activity, and men do not leave activity or intelligence behind when they step out from the shop into the world. It is in this direction this city receives greatest good from the 'prison ring.'. 86 In 1882, Seymour, Sabin & Co. eft'ectively merged their industrial interests into the Northwestern Manufacturing & Car qompany with capital stock worth $3,000,000 - most of it purchased by eastem investors. However, the original company, Seymour, Sabin & Co., retained their identity to continue managing their real estate and iron ore interests. This new company, Northwestem Manufacturing & Car Co. would have been a large company in any town, but in Stillwater, it was a major industry. They had 19 acres of shop floor, and $6,000,000 invested in the company, much of it in the form of stock held by wealthy men outside Stillwater. According to one source, they could. manufacture 16 freight cars, 10 farm wagons, 6 241he [StIllwater]Messenger. October IS. 1881 2S The Lumbeunan.

In 1884, pressed by debts they could not pay, The Northwestern Manufacturing and Car Co. went into bankruptcy. They - and several subsidi8l'Y corporations they had spun off - would. continue to operate, but the profits would go to payoff the stock and bondholders. One of the many trials and litigations concerning these companies was held in Stillwater in 1886. Present were such dignitaries as H. H. Porter of Chicago, President of the Chicago-Northwestern Railway, a stockholder; two former Justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court acting as attorneys, two U. S. Senators, and a myriad of other attorneys and stockholders.2'I The litigation gave a profitable living to local attorneys for years, while many employees in the industries had to find new jobs. One corporation, the Minnesota Commercial Company, was formed exclusively to dispose of the real estate once held by Seymour, Sabin" Co., and in the case of at least one home at 1121 N. Fourth Street, it was 1907 before the property was finally sold to a private party. No longer a hero, Dwight Sabin was defeated in his bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate, and he eventually died in Chicago in December 1902 at the relatively young age of 59.28 The second attraction that developed the neighborhood was the Schulenburg " Boeckeler Lumber Company, which had its sawmill on the waterfront slightly north of the intersection of E. Sycamore Street and N. Main Street. (Until the 1940's, E. Sycamore Street extended down the hill to N. Main Street). Most of the German immigrants working for the lumber company lived in Dutchtown (Deutschetown), which was essentially a company town. But there were, particularly in the later years, workers who lived elsewhere, including many who 26 StIllwater CIty DJrectory. 1887. E F.

Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater built homes on Carli's lots on the bluff. For the fascinating story of the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company, see the author's book on Dutchtown.29 THE EARLY HOUSES Almost every one of the houses in this neighborhood are basic workingman's houses of the 1870's and 1880's. They are, frankly, the tract houses of the last century. As one author describes these houses: The balloon frame structural system possesses an internal logic founded on consistent measurements and proportions. The vertical studs are spaced 16 inches apart on center 80 that they can accept the 48-inch lath on the interior wall. The basic module of 48 inches, if put consistently into practice, would generate standard room sizes as well as regularized placement of doors and windows in both exterior and interior walls. The module of 16 inches is repeated in the spacing of the (loor joists and the studs to provide more efficient joining of members and greater structural strength and integrity. If thoroughly understood and applied as a system of building, balloon frame construction would result in a few basic kinds of structures.. ..Local carpenters and farmer-builders did not customarily use plans or blueprints. They did not incorporate an ideal system of measurement and proportion based upon philosophical or practical values in their work. Many vernacular builders relied upon 'a plan in the head,' 'knowing how to start, get along, and finish' and using techniques that were passed through tradition or learned through e%pe1ience. Contractors, carpenters, and farmer-builders intuitively adapted popular designs from professional pattern books, proven plans and elevations from local lumberyards, and 'model' houses already built in areas 0/ preuious residence or in newly settled almS.80 The earliest houses in this area were all built adjacent to the Prison, and none of these early houses remain today. (See Page 21) The earliest remaining house in the neighborhood is at 1820 N. Broadway. This was built in 1874 as the home of John and Mary MeRit, from Cape Breton Island and by 1885, their eleven children, (Mary, 12, James, 13, Henry, 11, Stephen, 4, Walter, 3, John 23, Agnes, 9, Lizzie, 2, Alice, 6, Francis, 18, Maggie, 16 ) all of whom were born in Minnesota. The original structure, home to all thirteen family members, was probably no bigger than three rooms. John Merritt worked at the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company just down the hill from his house. 31 29 A HIstory of the Dutchtown Resu1enba1 Area by Donald Empson, Empson Arcluves. 1998 30 Homes m the Heartland, Balloon Frame Fannhouses of the Upper M1dwest, 1850.1920 Fred W.

Within a year, he had built a small house on his property, a house that took the number, 1322 N. Broadway. Within ten years, the house had been sold to a Canadian, Oliver Lecyeur and his wife Matilda. In the early 1930's, the home apparentJy suft'ered a fire, for there is a building permit taken out by the owner at that time, Jens Jensen, in the amount of $200 "for general repair after fire.>> The contractor was Frank Linner.sa That same year, in September of 1874, Carli sold a building lot to Alexander J. and Annie McDougal. They bought Block 10, Lot 1, on the corner of E. Willrin and N. Second Streets. They built a small home for themselves and their two children. McDougal worked for Isaac Staples in his mill on N. Main Street. This house remains, considerably altered, at 1024 N. Second Street. 83 The following year, H. J. Chambers, a cashier for the Seymour, Sabin & Co., had built a moderate-sized house (the tax assessor valued it at $1,000) perched on the edge of a ravine. This home, secluded even today, remains at 920 N. Third Street. Chambers subsequently worked as a superintendent for the Northwest Manufacturing and Car Company. According to two building permits on record, the owner in 1923, Alfred Leadhold, paid contractor C. M. Stevenson $170 for repairs to the roof and new composition shingles. Seven years later, the same owner paid contractor Frank Linner, $300 <<for general minor repairs to residence and porch. "84 In the winter of 1875, William Ziertman purchased a half lot (N ~ Lot 6, Block 23) from Carli. Ziertman worked at the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Co below the hill. Two years later, he built his home with itS view overlooking the river, on his lot. The house and its view, remain at 1323 N. First Street. In May of 1881, Ziertman bought the other half of his lot, and in May of 1882, he sold both the whole lot and this house, valued at $400 by the tax assessor, to Fred Springborn.86 In August of 1877, Londrus Sargent purchased a lot from Carli, and soon thereafter built his good-sized home on the edge of the ravine at 805 N. Third Street. Sargent was a foreman with the Seymour, Sabin & Co. He, along with Sven Bergquist, took over The Stillwater Manufacturing Company in the late 1880's when it was separated from the debris of the Seymour Sabin enterprises. 32 X Deeds 534 Stillwater CIty DJrectories, 1876-7 and 1887.1885 Mmnesota Census, fiamly #1732.

I 'I The South OM-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater According to two building permits on record, Sargent paid Frank Linner to build a $500 addition to the house in 1904, and in 1943, the owner at that time, R. S. Parkhurst, paid local contractor George W. Olsen, $450 for general repairs and a new composition roof.86 In 1878, Seymour, Sabin & Co, who had purchased the whole block four years earlier, built an elegant house with a central hallway and front bay at 1121 N. Fourth Street, on the corner of W. Stillwater and N. Fourth Streets. Why exactly they built such a fancy $1,800 house is uncertain, but in the mid 1880's, it served as The Minnesota Hospital, one of three hospitals in Stillwater.M (The City Hospital, now Lakeview Hospital, was one; the second was a homeopathic hospital located in downtown Stillwater.) Because there is so much misinformation about this home, it is worth quoting at length the newspaper article in The Messenger, May 1~, 1886, in which the hospital's demise is recorded: "The concern styled 'The Minnesota Hospital,' located at the corner of Stillwater avenue and north Fifth [Fourth] street, has come to grief and was closed Tuesday by the serving of a writ of attachment issued out of the municipal court at the instance of J. C. O'Gorman, resolver, who claims the sum of $110. [O'Gorman, trymg to collect the overdue rent, was the awmmstrator of the bankruptcy of the Seymour, Sabin & Co who owned the bwlchng]. The officer serving the writ took into his custody all the contents of the building, including six stoves, ten bedsteads, all bedding, cooking utensils and crockery, and all stands and tables. Following the attachment other creditors began suits in the municipal court. [There follows a hst of other credItors]. On May 6, Dr. Jellison, who was at the head of the establishment gave to Ezra B. Ryder, a chattel mortgage securing the payment of $800, the mortgage being due within thirty days, and providing in case of default that it might be foreclosed on five days notice. [A chattel mortgage 18 a mortgage on a pOSSeBmon that is not real property; m tlus case 1t was a mortgage on the furnislungs of the house. Because Dr. Jellison did not own the bmlding, he could not take out a property mortgage.] This instrument covers all the chattels attached under the O'Gorman writ.

[The same newspaper page carries an announcement of the maniage of Dr. C. B. Jellison and M1ss Belle Ryder.] It has been supposed that the hospital was one of a chain of which one was located at Minneapolis, Ashland and Eau Claire, and that each was under some central and responsible control. However, it appears that the enterprise was inaugurated by Dr. Jellison and Mr. Langley. 36 3 Deeds 8, Stillwater City DJrectones. 1876-7 and 1890, City ofStJllwater Buildmg Penmts #'s 1200 & 2709 'S1 The present owner has m her basement a prece of sidmg removed from the front of the house, on winch the shadow of a SJgIl readmg "'Ihe Mmnesota HOSpital" may be seen; Tax AssessOtS Records, 1878, SAM 7, Ron 7. 29 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater The latter sold his interest last fall to the doctor but neglected to publish a notice of the dissolution of partnership, and is now considering whether or not he will be held responsible for the debts. The plan of the management was to sell tickets of two kinds. One style, sold at five dollars, entitled the holder, if sick or injured, to board, nursing and medical attendance,' the other, which was sold at ten dollars, gave the same privileges with the additional stipulation that the holder, if injured, should be assured the sum of five dollars per week for a certain length of time pending recovery. The lumber camps were thoroughly canvassed and it is thought several hundred of these tickets were sold to the woodsmen. It was generally supposed that the hospital was highly profitable to the proprietor, and the cause of his failure is not understood. We understand Dr. Jellison announces his intention to pay all creditors and continue business in this city. · Mter the hospital ceased to exist, the building passed into the hands of the Minnesota Commercial Company, a corporation formed specifically to sell the real estate left from the Seymour, Sabin & Co. In 1901, the Minnesota Commercial Company paid Frank Linner & Co., a local contractor, $425 to build a small addition; rebuild the chimneys; and make general repairs.38 The Corporation held the house until 1907 when it was finally sold to a private party. From 1886 to 1907. it must be assumed that it was either rental property or vacant. Three blocks to the south, on Block 4, Russell Pease, a lumberman, built, in 1878, a $450 home in what appears to be the southwest corner of his four lots. This was the first house that stood in the general location of today's 903 N. Fourth Street. What happened to this first house is uncertain, but in 1887 Russell Pease sold the property to Ena Merry. Her husband Charles, was Ii dentist in Stillwater in business with his father Benjamin, also a dentist. (B.G. Merry & Son, dentists) In the early 1890's, Ella died, and in March of 1895, Benjamin died. Within months, in the summer of 1895, local carpenter Sven Berglund (who lived only a couple of blocks away) built the widower Charles Merry, and his widowed mother Charlotte, the present house that remains at 90~ N. Fourth Street. The building permit lists an estimated price of $2,000 for a two-story, 32-foot by 50-foot home with three chimneys. But the Merry's misfortune continued, and the house soon went into a mortgage foreclosure. The Merry's moved to the South Hill and in July of 1902, John Ogren, a lumberman, and his wife Carrie purchased the house from the Stillwater Savings Bank. In 1906, Mr. Ogren paid local contractor, Frank Linner & Co. $250 to build a small8-foot-by-l0-foot pantry onto the house.59 38 C1ty of Sbllwater Buildmg Pemut # 1045 39 Tax Assessors Records, 1878, SAM 7, RoD 7, 1882, SAM 5, RoD 6; SbJlwater City DJrectmy for 1881-82, 1890- 91, 1896-97, CIty ofS1:dlwater B1Dldmg Permtt #138 (tlus IS for a $60 woodshed bw1t for Pease). # 851 &.1267,24 Deeds 22, 43 Deeds 21, Ogren's obItuary IS m the Stillwater Dally Gazette of September 25, 1929 80 I J I I I I I I I .

Conrad, who made his money in tobacco, had a contractor build him a large, sumptuous $2,000 house at 120 W. Wilkin Street. The tax assessor, making his rounds that year, penciled a notation H~ S. Conrad, $1,800 house." In 1886, Conrad applied for a permit to make a $500 one-story addition to his home. In that permit he noted that the original house, with its dimensions of two-stories, 24 feet by 60 feet deep, had been built in 1879. In tbe summer of 1905, R. L. Butler, a plumber, added a "low down" water closet [toilet], as well as an enameled. wash basin and wash tub. Three months later, Frank Linner did $400 worth of "small alterations and repairs." In 1909, Frank Linner was back to charge $500 for "enlarged cellar & various changes & repai1'&-partly caused by fire."40 Having bought his half lot from Christopher Carli two years earlier, in 1877, John Lindgren built a small house at 921 N. Fourth Street. Four years later, the tax assessor placed a value of $350 on the home. Lindgren worked first as a carpenter for Seymour, Sabin & Co; subsequently he worked. as a cabinetmaker for Northwest Manufacturing & Car Co. In 1886, Lindgren took out a building permit. On that permit, he listed the original size of his house at 16 feet by 30 feet deep, one story. He listed the original cost at $500. Since the initial construction, a $100 kitchen, 12 feet by 16 feet had been added on. The 1886 permit was to have the builder, August Jackson, add a $100 bay window and porch to the front of the house.41 THE HOUSES OF THE 1880's In the 1880's, there was relative aft1.uence in Stillwater, and most of the older houses that remain in Stillwater were built. during this decade. Whole neighborhoods, which had been vacant in the 1870's, were filled with houses during the building boom of the 1880's. Paul Caplazi wrote in his 1944 manuscript: "The eighties were happy days for Stillwater. It was a time between the Civil War and the Spanish American War, there were no wars, no strikes, no unemployment, no trouble of any kind, everybody was working and happy. "41 For the first time, there were also building associations and fraternal organizations to make loans and mortgages for the purchase and construction of homes. The Stillwater Building Association, for example, was begun in 1877. At one point, in 1881, there were so many houses being constructed that The Messenger warned: 40 Tax Assessors Records, 1878, SAM 7, Ron 7, Sbllwater CIty DJrectory for 1881-82, city of StIllwater Bwldmg Pemnt. #'8 90,1226,1238,1375 41 2 Deeds 605, Tax Assessor Records, 1882, SAM 5, Ron 6, CIty of StIllwater BU1ldmg Pemut #20 42 Paul CaplazL Unpubhshed Manuscnpt. 1944 Page [17] 31 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater "Don't build this fall if you can avoid it.

" "If carpenters, stone-masons, bricklayers, painters and plasterers could work every hour in the day for the next six weeks they would not be able to erect and complete all the buildings now in progress of construction or that property owners contemplate erecting. "48 NORTH BROADWAY STREET IN THE 1880's There were eight houses constructed on N. Broadway Street in the 1880's. In 1882, 42-year-old Pennsylvanian, John May, and his younger Minnesota bom_ wife Julia, age 26, had their small home at 1116 N. Broadway built. John worked as a wall guard at the Prison. In 1892, they had Mads Neilson, a carpenter living nearby on N. First Street, do $75 worth of repairs to the eaves, a window, and "other small repairs."44 In June of 1882, Christopher Carli sold one and a half lots to a Canadian immigrant, Louis Bergeron, and his German-bom wife, Emma. These particular lots were no doubt selected because they were located. just up the hill from Bergeron's job as a foreman at the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Co mill. Within a year, the couple built, on their corner lots, a fine $1,500 house with a tower. Living in this house at 1220 N. Broadway were two daughters: Millie and Aurora, and a servant girl, Mary Francis, age 18. The Bergerons were among the more prosperous residents of the neighborhood. The 1895 Personal Property records indicate they had: one horse 8 years or older valued at $50, a $15 wagon, a $10 sewing machine, two watches at $10 each, a $60 piano, and household furniture worth $200. In the summer of 1941, the owner at that time, R. Rickert, paid Stillwater contractor, Emil Beiging, to do $220 worth of general repairs to the residence. 4& - In February of 1882, Lydia Carli sold Julius Korn the S. 112, Lot 2, Block 15. The German-born Julius, and his German wife Gusta, had a small house built for them at 1110 N. Broadway. Julius worked in a brickyard while his wife raised their three boys, Emil, Otto, and Ernest. 46 43 The [Stillwater] Musrmger, October 1. 1881 ""188S Mmnesota Census, fimu1y # 1700. Tax.

I I The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater About 1883, after Christopher suffered an accident from a runaway team, he and Lydia had built a medium sized house on the S 1/2 Lot 3, Block 8, which took the address of 322 E. Aspen Street. Christopher died. in 1887, and Lydia lived here until the end of her life. In 1895, her Personal Property was listed as: 1 sewing machine worth $5; piano worth $75; household furnishings worth $150.47 This historic Carli house was demolished. in the 1970's by a neighbor, Glenn Goggin who lived at 1012 N. Broadway, but was the owner of the historic Carli house at 322 E. Aspen. In a conversation with the author several years ago, Mr. Goggin explained that he, not wanting a lot of tourist traffic down the dead end street, went down to the city offices late on a Friday afternoon to get a demolition permit, and before anyone could stop him, demolished. the old Carli house over the weekend. The irony of this action by Glenn is that, at the time, his mother Eleanor, was Curator of the Washington County Historical Society. In March of 1883, Christopher Carli sold S ~ Lot 2, Block 28 to Louis Vesmera. The 1884 Stillwater City Directory lists Vesmera as living on the west · side of Broadway, two houses north of E. St. Croix Street, so it appears he had built a small house on his half lot. However, in December of 1884, Gustaf Kress pu:rchased the lot - and presumably the house. The 1887 Stillwater City Directory lists Gustaf, a carpenter, living in his house at 1312 N. Broadway. 48 Adolph Revord, age 45, and his wife, Adelaide, age 48, bought from Christopher Carli the north 50 feet of Lot 42, Block 7, in April of 1888. Here they built a small home at 1317 N. Broadway for themselves and their seven children: Natal, 14, Josephine, 12, Matilda, 11, Adolph, 8, Joseph, 6, Mary, 5, Jane, 1.49 . In 1886, Christopher H. Carli, Jr, the son of Lydia and Christopher, built a substantial two-story house, 24 feet wide and 28 feet deep at 1122 N. Broadway. On the building permit, the price of construction is listed. as $800. C. H. Carli, like his father, had a varied career. For many years he was a photographer ("Old pictures reproduced and enlarged, Porcelain pictures a specialty") working from his father's house and office at N. Second and E. Mulberry Streets. In moving to N. Broadway, C.H. took over management of the "Carli Quarry" which occupied most of the east side of N. Broadway from E. Elm Street to E. 8t, Croix Street. This quarry, and the one on the south hill, supplied most of the limestone for the curbs on Stillwater's streets, as well as the stone for many of its walls and buildings. In 1898, C. H. Carli, age 87, became irritable and talkative, and began having hallucinations and delusions, among them the paranoia that his family wanted. to commit him to the insane asylum. At the urging of his doctor and family, he was 47 Tax Assessors Records.

His brother, Joseph R., took him to the State Hospital for the Insane at Rochester where he remained until his discharge in February of 1898. He was able to regain the guardianship of his affairs that had been given to his wife, Mattie May.5O In 1918, C. H. and Mattie moved to Pequot, Minnesota. &1 In 1938, Harry & Frieda Kollander purchased the house, and the family has lived there ever since. &2 NORTH FIRST STREET IN THE 1880's In 1880, the Wisconsin-bom Michael Keefe, age 80, and his wife Mary, age 24, along with their daughter Alice, age 4, purchased a lot in block 9, and had a home built which took the number 1024 N. First Street. Keefe was a molder [made wood molds] and had only to walk down the hill to his job at the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Company.G3 Theopilus Rock, a 42-year-old carpenter from Canada, and his wife, Margaret, 82, who was born in Missouri, built a $700 house at 1118 N. First Street in 1880. Into their home, they moved their (by 1885) five children: Fulda, Agnes, George, Theodore, and Margaret.54 Mads Nielson, a carpenter, built his home at 1002 N. First Street in 1881. Nielson, in the 1880's and 1890's, appears to have done much of the construction in the neighborhood. His present day house, which was quite dilapidated a few years ago, is considerably improved and enlarged over the original $200 structure. GG Lydia Carli sold Charles Pellitier a lot in Block 15 in Apm of 1881. Pellitier, a 40-year-old Canadian, and his 82-year-old wife Susanna, along with their three children, Ada, Joseph, and Susanna, moved into their new $250 home at 1108 N. First Street that same year. Charles had only a few blocks to walk to work as a sawyer for the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company. In June of 1899, a permit was taken out by the owner of this ho~e at the time, Charles Tranter, to build a new house: one-and-a-half story, 16 feet by 28 feet, at a cost of $500. The builder was to be Aaron Johnson, who lived next door at 1107 N.

I The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater Whether this was a large addition. or whether it was a new house, is not evident from the records.66 George M. Seymour, of the Seymour, Sabin & Co. built the house at 1104 N. First Street in 1880. The tax assessor, making his rounds that year, penciled in the notation <<750 add' indicating a house worth $750 had been added to the value of the lot. In 1882, the assessor put the house's value at $900. Seymour never lived here; this was a house he built to rent or sell. In 1887, Patrick J. Murphy, a wall guard at the Prison, was living in this house. Staying with him for a short while was his nephew, Solanus Casey. Casey, who was bom in Prescott. Wisconsin, went on to become a priest, and is today the first American born man being considered for sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church. By 1894, George Graham, a sawyer for the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company was the resident here. In October of 1896, Virginia Cayou purchased the home, and the family has continued to live there ever since. This is one of the few "century" homes in Stillwater - meaning the house has been in the possession of the same family for over a century. In July of 1925, Louis Cayou took out a permit for a $150 garage and woodshed that was to have "mule hide shingles."57 1120 N. First Street was another speculation home in the area built by George M. Seymour of the firm of Seymour Sabin & Co. in 1881. Its assessed value was listed at $700 in 1882. The following year,1888, Seymour sold the home to Martin Murray, a section foreman for the St. Paul & Duluth Railway. In 1886, Martin added a $400 16-foot-by-20-foot kitchen to the rear of the house. In the permit application, the original dimensions of the house were listed. as 1* story, 22 feet wide by 30 feet deep. Twenty-eight years later, ih 1914, Martin had neighborhood carpenter Mads Nielson add a $125 front porch to his home.68 Owen Hughes, a 29-year-old blacksmith from Prince Edward Island, and his 28-year-old wife Annie bought a lot in Block 8 from Christopher Carli in November of 1880. The following year, the Hughes took out a mortgage with the fledgling Stillwater Building Association, and built a $275 home for themselves and their three sons, James, Ronald, and Charles, at 1023 N. First Street. In 1890, they had neighborhood contractor, Mads Nielson add a $45 front porch to their residence. Owen had only to walk down the hill, and go left on N.

First Street built on a lot they purchased from Lydia Carli in August of 1882. In compiling his records for the year, the tax assessor made a penciled note on this lot to "add $350" indicating the value of the new structure. Johnson, who was a carpenter himself, added a $75 kitchen to his home in September of 1898.61 Christopher Carli sold one-half of Lot 2 in Block 22 to August Manthey, a 25- year-old immigrant tram Germany, and his older Michigan-bom wife Mary, in March of 1883. They quickly built a house valued around $500 that took the house number, 1312 N. First Street. August is listed in both the 1884 and the 1887 Stillwater City Directories as a laborer. Within two years of moving in to their new house, Mary delivered their son, Joseph.62 In July of 1881, Carl and Annie Noack purchased Lot 5 in Block 23 from Christopher Carli. Within a year, the German-bom couple had their house built, which remains today at 1313 N. First Street. In addition to their two daughters, Emma and Oletia, they also had Emil Clark and his daughter Celia, living with them. Carl had only to walk down the hill to his job at the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company. On June 20th, 1897, disaster struck when the house was set afire by a pipe; before the fire was out, damage amounted to $86. 6S Christopher Carli sold Joseph Poirier a lot in Block 8 in the spring of 1882. He immediately had the construction of a large house begun, which was valued at $1,200 by the tax assessor. The family, including the Canadian-born Joseph, age 26, his 19 year-old Minnesota born wife Emma, as well as Joseph's brother, Peter, age 7, and his sister, Amelia, age 15. Their house remains today at 1015 N. First Street. In 1887, Joseph was employed as a clerk in a "Genfs furnishings store.

I The South OM-Half of the Caru Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater noted in the Tax Assessor's records of 1882 where there is a penciled notation "add $80(J' indicating that a new structure had been built upon this lot. The lot had been purchased the previous April (1881) by August Neumann, who is listed as a guard at the Prison in the 1884 Stillwater City Directory. The 1885 Minnesota Census [family :#1718] enumerates August, age 40, his wife Forencia, age 88, a son Herman, age 15, a daughter Catherine age 10, and one other child age 12, whose name is indecipherable. All the family members were born in Germany. By 1887, apparently August is no longer working at the Prison because the Stillwater City Directory of that year lists him only as a laborer. The Neumann family lived there at least three decades.65 The residence at 1011 N. First Street was built in 1882 as a small $250 home by Charles A Johnson, who worked as a teamster for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Co. He purchased the lot in July of 1881 from Christopher Carli.66 When it was constructed in 1882, 1220 N. First Street was a one-and-a-half- story building, 18 feet wide and 28 feet deep. It was valued at $400. Frank Hall, the owner, who worked as a hospital steward in the Prison, had bought the lot from Christopher Carli in the spring of 1881. Eleven years after he built the house, Frank Hall hired local contractor Mads Nielson to add a $600 one-and-a-half story 12-foot-by-16-foot addition to his original house. In 1907, a new owner, Carl E. Berglund, had local carpenter Mads Nielson build him a $250 24-foot-by-30-foot bam with a galvanized iron roof on his lot. It was this same Carl Berglund who was a proprietor of the Berglund Peterson Grocery Store at 807 N. Fourth Street.67 The history of 1012 N. First Street is rather confusing. Stephen Harder purchased all of Lot 2, Block 9 from Christopher Carli in May bf 1882. He then sold the south one-half to Rudolph Lange in August of 1883, whom it appears built a house on the lot that same year. Lange was a carpenter. However, the 1887 Stillwater City Directory lists both Lange, and a man named Emil Kruger both living at this address. Kruger was the proprietor of the Headquarters Saloon in downtown Stillwater. The German-bom Kruger's family consisted of himself, his wife Eliza, six children and a servant girl. In the spring of 1889, Lange, who is listed as the owner, made $100 of repairs to the house, as well as an addition on the front.68 6510 Deeds 102, Tax Assessor's Records, 1883, SAM 78, Roll 13 66 Tax Assessors Records, 1882, SAM 78, Ron 12, 8 Deeds 270, Stillwater City Directories for 1884 and 1887 ~ Tax Assessors Record, 1882, SAM 5, R.oll6, CIty of Stillwater Bmldmg Pemnt #739 &. 1307, Stillwater CIty DJrectones for 1884 and 1887.8 Deeds 204.

Born in New York, Stephen Harder had his wife Augusta and their three children, Stephen, Jasper, and Lydia, as well as Ruth Bradley, and her daughter, Emma living in their home at 1016 N. First Street. Harder, who worked as a millwright, sold the residence to Joseph Campbell in August of 1887, and apparently moved from the area.69 In May of 1882, Michael Keefe purchased. south one-half of Lot 1 in Block 9. In late 1883 or early 1884, he had a house built, which has since taken the number, 1020 N First Street. It appears that Keefe, who had been living next door at 1024 N. First Street now moved. himself, his wife Mary and their daughter Alice into this newer house. Keefe worked. as a molder for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car CO.70 In July of 1887, John J. Gerken, a bartender, purchased Lot 6, Block 115 from Lydia Carli In October, he hired Stillwater contractor, William Bieging, to build him a $1,500 house at 1123 N. First Street. The house was to be 22 feet by 30 feet, two-story, with a 10-foot-by-14-foot cellar. The sidewall studs used in the balloon construction were listed as being 18 feet. 71 On August 24th, 1902, a fire of unknown origin broke out in this house; before the me was extinguished, it caused $62 in damage.72 In November of 1880, August Pische bought Lot 2, Block 17 from Christopher Carli He, in turn sold the lot to James Pische who sold it to Llewellyn Staples in 1889. Staples hired Stillwater contractor, William Biaging, to build him a $500 one- and-a-half story house 14 feet by 24 feet by 26 feet. Staples was a clerk at the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company. The house remains at 1214 N. First Street.73 NORTH SECOND STREET IN THE 1880's T ucinda Bordwell purchased Lot 4 of Block 9 in April of 1881. Later that .L..fyear, Lucinda and her husband LeSter, had their home at 1003 N. Second Street built. The tax assessor making his rounds, put the value of the house at $450. Lester Bordwell was a policeman. It was not uncommon for households of that time to put the title to the house in the name of the woman - particularly if the man were in business with the potential for bankruptcy.74 6P 24 Deeds 259. 12 Deeds 235. 1885 Mmnesota Census. fimuly # 1688, StlJlwater CIty 01rect0ry for 1884 70 1885 Mmnesota Census. family # 1691.

Second Street in 1880.'16 Like Lucinda and Lester Bordwell, Joseph and Epiline Grant bought their lot from Christopher Carli in April of 1881. The price of their half lot was $225. Apparently finances were a problem for the older couple, for in spite of a mortgage, they were unable to pay the C.N. Nelson Lumber Company for the lumber the company furnished in August of 1881 to build the Grant's dwelling at 1224 N. Second Street. It seems, however, the Grants were finally able to pay theil' debts because the tax assessor making his rounds in 1882 placed a value of $500 on their home. The German-born Joseph was 50, and his German-born wife was 60. They had five of their older children living with them: Joseph, 25; John, 22; Anna, 20; Lisa, 18; and Matilda, 16.'16 A month after the Bordwells and the Grants purchased their lots, a 24-year- old Englishman, Thomas Gerson, and his Minnesota-born wife Emma purchased a half lot from Christopher Carli in May of 1881 for $175. He must have had his dwelling built over that summer of 1881, because the tax assessor penciled a notation in his records to add $400 to the value of the property. Thomas worked as a car repairer for the Saint Paul & Duluth Railway; Emma raised their children in the home at 1206 N. Second Street. On May 25th, 1890, Thomas Gerson died of peritonitis a day or two after his appendix burst. As a last resort in trying to save his life, a doctor opened Gerson's abdomen on the kitchen table in Gerson's home, but the infection was too massive to contain. He died, leaving a young widow and two children.7'1 Fred Bordwell, and his wife Matilda, both WISCOnsin-born, both 29 years of age, purchased their lot from Christopher Carli in April of 1881. They soon had their dwelling erected at 1112 N. Second Street, which was originally, according to a later building permit, a one-and-a-half story, 16-foot-by-24-foot structure costing $700. However, Bordwell, who worked as a shop guard at the Prison, was a tireless remodeler. In 1886, he added a 12-focit-by-16-foot $100 kitchen. Three years later, he had neighborhood carpenter Mads Nielson make another improvement: "This contemplates raising rool of ell part and building bay window on main house and making general repairs to house to build chimney from ground in place of bracket as it is now. " Not yet content with his home, the following year, he had Mads Nielson add an $80 front and side porch, and in 1892, he invested another $50 in his front porch. The Bordwells (in 1885) had only two children, 75 1884 Stillwater CIty DJrectory 76 10 Deeds 51, A LteJ1S 280, Tax Assessors Records, 188~ SAM 5, RoD 6, 1885 MInnesota Census, famlly # 1747 TI 1885 Mmnesota Census, fam1ly #1744, 10 Deeds 161, StIllwater Daily Gazette, May 25, 1890~ mtemew WIth Gerson's grandson, Thomas Gezson ofStiUwater 89 'I'M South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater Bernie and Fred; perhaps this gave them extra time (and money) to plan their remodelings. In April of 1924, the owner at that time, Henry Kottka, added a $250 garage to his lot. '18 The history of 1116 N. Second Street is a little confusing. Christopher Carli sold the north half of Lot 2, Block 13 to Peter Lamoreaux in April of 1881. Lamoreaux, in turn, sold the half lot to Francis Grant in August of 1882. It appears Grant built a house on the lot valued at approximately $400. Grant, in turn, sold the house to George W. Bolles and his wife Maria the following year. Bolles, age 58 (in 1885), was born in New York, and worked as a blacksmith for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Co. His wife Maria, 49, was the daughter of Paul and Lydia Carli and she was born when the Carli family was living in Chicago, Illinois. They had four children: George, Carrie, Mabel, and Alice living with them, plus two boarders: R. S. Farrell and Ed Weldon. In 1886, Bolles made a $100 one-and-a-half story addition 14 feet by 24 feet to his home. In the summer of 1915, the owner at that time, a Mrs. Arthur, paid neighborhood carpenter Mads Nielson $125 to add a porch to the home. '19 Charles Bursch, 26 and his wife Gusta, age 23, both immigrants from Germany, bought the lot for their house at 1212 N. Second in April of 1881. They paid $150 for the lot. That same year, they built a small house, which the tax assessor valued the following year at $250. Charles is listed in the 1884 Stillwater city directory as a laborer; his wife raised their (in1885) fOUl" children: Elsie, Charles, Gusta, and Anna. 80 Next door to the Bursch's at 1214 N. Second Street was the Ruehle family. They had purchased their lot in March of 1881, and built a small $200 structure on it that same year. Henry Ruehle, age 37 in 1885, had been born in Illinois; his young Norwegian-born wife Gusta was 21. They had four children - probably from Henry's previous marriage - Ollie, 8; Oscar, 6; Elviria, 4; Agnes, 7/12. According to the 1884 Stillwater City Directory, Henry was working as a warehouseman for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. By 1887, he is listed as a freight master for the railway.aI The present home at 1019 N. Second Street embraces two half lots: the north one-half of Lot 5, and the south one-half of Lot 6. At one time, there was a house, built in 1881 by John Flink, on the north one-half of Lot 5 at 1011 N. Second Street. The remaining house, at 1019 N. Second Street, began with the purchase of the south one-half of Lot 6 from Christopher Carli by Lars J.

Lars is listed in the 1884 Stillwater City Directory as working for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Co.; the 1891 City Directory lists him working for the Hersey, Bean Lumber Company on S. Main Street. 82 Michael Klatt, who worked for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Co. purchased a lot from Christopher Carli in June of 1881. By the end of the year, he had completed a small one-story 14-foot-by-16-foot house at 1209 N. Second Street, which was listed at an assessed value of $300 the following year. Eight years later, in 1889, he added a $50, 14-foot-by-12-foot addition to his original structure. In the spring of 1925, the owner, Peter Mason, paid local carpenter Mads Nielson $200 to build a 10-foot-by-10 foot addition to be used as a dining room.83 Christopher Carli sold the north one-half of Lot 8, Block 9 to August Anderson in July of 1882. That same year, Anderson built a one-and-a-half story 16-foot-by-22-foot house at 1007 N. Second Street. In 1887, Anderson hired neighborhood builder Rudolph Lange to add a $150 12-foot-by-16-foot kitchen. Anderson, like so many of his neighbors, was employed by the Northwestern Manufacturing & Car CO.84 Nathan D. Lammers, a 27-year-old man born in Minnesota, and his wife Lizzie, age 24, contracted for the building of their large home at 1106 N. Second Street in 1882. The tax assessor for that year, on his rounds, made a notation to "add $1,60f1' to the value of the property representing the house. However, the Lammers did not have to pay all the costs of their new house; the Sun newspaper of March 8, 1882, in reporting on the activities of the Stillwater City Council. noted that .On motion of Alderman Deragisch, N. D. Lamme1'8 was allowed $6 for removing dirt from his cellar to the ravine on Wilkin street." Three years after the building their home, the Lammers had no children, but they dia have Catherine and Lewis Bealliving with them. At the time his house was built, Nathan worked as a clerk for the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Lumber Company.86 In the 1890's, he also served on the Stillwater City Council. Gustav Skog purchased his building lot from Christopher Carli in February of 1882, and soon thereafter began the construction of his home at 1111 N. Second Street. The original house must have been very small because the tax assessor lists it as a $100 structure. Six years later, Skog had done additional construction, for a building per~t in 1888 lists the main building as a 20-foot-by-32-foot two- story house with 18-foot studs used in the balloon construction.

Second Street the following year. McDonald, like his neighbor up the block, worked as a blacksmith for the Nelson & Johnson Lumber Company. The 1884 Stillwater City Directory also lists a Martin Powers, a boilermaker, as living at this address. Whether this is a mistake, or whether Martin was just trying out the neighborhood, Martin eventually made his home at 1111 N. Second Street.8? James and Angelina Cramer purchased their building lot from Christopher Carli in September of 1881. By 1882, they had constructed a house at 1105 N. Second Street which the tax assessor valued at $350. It appears that Joseph, a brother of James, lived with the couple; both brothers worked as carpenters for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Company.88 Christopher Carli sold the south one-half of Lot 3, Block 21, to Fred and Hilda Roepke in February of 1882. The following year, they built their $600 home at 1302 N. Second Street. By 1885, the household consisted of the German-born Fred, age 29; his German-born wife Hilda, age 21, and two children, both obviously born in Minnesota, Fred, age 3, and Hilda, age 1. Fred, Sr. worked as a laborer at the C. N. Nelson Lumber Company.89 George Mondeau, who purchased his lot from Christopher Carli in September of 1880, was unusual in this early neighborhood because he was an independent businessman rather than a hired hand. He was the proprietor of a saloon at 119 Chestnut in downtown Stillwater. Mondeau built his $400 home at 1121 N. Second Street in 1884.90 In February of 1882, August and Mary Gelhar bought a building lot in Block 21 from Christopher Carli. Two years later, they built their home at 1316 N. Second Street. August, a recent immigrant from Germany, worked as a wheelwright; his German-born wife took care 01 their five children: Hattie, Paul, Frank, Annie, and Mary.91 1I6 12 Deeds 590, cny ofStJllwater Bwldmg Pemut #303, Tax AssessoIs Records, 1882, SAM 5, RoD 6, StIllwater CJty D1rectones for 1884 and 1887. fn Tax Assessors Records, 1882, SAM 5, RoD 6, Stillwater CIty DJrectones for 1884 and 1887, 10 Deeds 125 88 Stdlwater CIty DJrectoIy for 1884, Tax Assessors Records, 1882, SAM 5, RoD 6, 10 Deeds 112 8910 Deeds 570, Tax Assessors Records, 1883, SAM 78, RoD 13,1885 Mmnesota Census, family # 1749, stillwater CIty DJIectories for 1884 and 1887 90 12 Deeds 160, Stillwater CIty DJrectones for 1884 and 1887, Tax AsscssOJ'S Records, 1885, SAM 78, RoD 15 '110 Deeds 574, 1885 MmnesotaCensus, family # 1750, S1i1lwaterCrtyDJrectones for 1884 and 1887, Tax Assessors Records, 1884, SAM 5, RoD 7 42 I .- I I I I I I I .

However, she soon sold her lot to Julius and Agnes Seiberlich who, two years later, probably built the $600 house at 1202 N. Second Street. Seiberlich is listed in the 1884 Stillwater City Directory as a "Contractor and Builder." Julius, however, moved on and, in 1885, sold the house to Henry W. Binger, a teamster. In the spring of 1928, Paul Raske, the owner of the house at that time, had contractor, C. M. Stevenson, build him a 16-foot-by-16-foot private garage with "old lumber used." This rather picturesque garage remains today on the south side of the house. 92 NORTH THIRD STREET IN THE 1880's Dwight Sabin, who had purchased all of Block 12 nine years earlier, sold the north half of Lot 1 to S. T. Hillman, a newspaper reporter, in March of 1881. Within a year, Hillman had constructed his $450 home at 1124 N. Third Street on the corner of Third and Magnolia Streets.93 Andrew W. Peterson, a house painter, purchased. a lot on the edge of the ravine from Christopher Carli in April of 1888. He soon thereafter had his $400 home built - which took the house number, 804 N. Third Street. Over the years, as the ravine has eroded, this house has become closer and closer to its edge.94 Dwight Sabin sold the south one-half of Lot 1 to Solomon F. Koons in April of 1880. By 1882, there was a home worth $625 on the lot, a home that remains today at 1120 N. Third Street. Koons worked as a carpenter for the Seymour, Sabin Company, and later for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car .Company. The 1894 Stillwater City directory lists Melvin Koons (a son?) as manufacturing yeast in the house!96 Donald McGillis and his wife Janice bought all of Lot 4, Block 18 from Christopher Carli for $475, and in turn sold the north half to Peter Russell in September of 1882. Russell, a carpenter for the Northwest Manufacturing & Car Company, built a small house that remains, considerably enlarged, at 1207 N.

Third Street. The 1884 Stillwater City Directory lists McGillis and another carpenter, Charles Lamereaux, both living on the n.e. corner of Third and E. Stillwater Streets. Perhaps they built this house on speculation, for, in January of 1886, it was sold to Erastus Cross, a shop guard at the Prison. In 1887, Cross, in requesting a building permit, listed the size of the original house as 18 feet by 18 feet, one-and-a-half-story. The permit was for the purpose of adding a 9-foot-by-l0-foot room for $150 on the east side of the house to be used as a bedroom. 97 After the lot on the edge of a ravine passed through several hands, George F. Sabin, a Stillwater attorney dealing in insurance and real estate, purchased Lot 1 of Block 11, and, in 1885, had his $1,200 Gothic style home built at 1022 N. Third Street. The following year, Sabin had William May, a veteran Stillwater contractor, build him a large $600 barn, one-and-a-half stories high, 82 feet by 24 feet by 12 feet deep. The barn was 50 feet high at its peak, Three years after constructing his house, Sabin had Thomas Sutherland, a builder, add a $500 front porch to the residence. After the turn of the century, this house was the home of Fred Neumeier, a newspaper publisher, and his wife, Catherine. Their son, Karl, became a state senator from Stillwater. In 1940, Mrs. Neumier had local carpenter Jens Jensen make some changes to the house. According to the building permit: (I This improvement consists of removal of old barn on lot, removal of old porches on house, building new garage 12x20 attached to norwest cor. of house,' new front porch and residing whole house and garage with cedar shingles and painted white; reshingling whole house with composite shingles. No interior changes. $1700."98 NORTH FOURTH STREET IN THE 1880's James Griffin, Jr. bought the south one-half of Lot 8 in 1878, and the south one-half of Lot 4, Block 11 from ~topher Carli in April of 1880. He soon thereafter built a house at 1001 N. Fourth Street, which, tbe tax assessor in 1882 valued at $550, as well as a $100 barn also on the property. Grif1i.n worked as a foreman for the Seymour, Sabin & Co. But, within four years of building his house, Griffin had moved to South Stillwater [Bayport]. In January of 1909, the owner, Tom Curley, paid local carpenter Mads Nielson $100 to add a second story 'J7 CIty of Sbllwater Bui1d.mg Penmt, # 199, Stdlwater CIty D1rectorles for 1884 and 1887, Tax.

In 1882~ the tax assessor put the value of the home at $250~ indicating it was probably no larger than two rooms.lOO In 1880, the Washington C\Junty Tax Assessor, making his rounds to determine thd assessed value of the properties in Stillwater, penciled a notation in his records: "Mrs. Lizzie Jackson $825" indicating this property had both a new owner, and that the value of the lot had increased beyond the value of the land itself - the land being worth about $150. That same year, Charles and Lizzie Jackson built their home at 821 N. Fourth Street. Within two years, the house had increased in size to a value by the assessor of $500.101 ST. CROIX STREET IN THE 1880's Charles William Raske, age 36, and his wife Bertha, age 30, had immigrated from Germany at least a decade before they purchased Lot 6, Block 17 from Christopher Carli in March of 1881. They had their $650 house built at 203 E. St. Croix Street and moved in with their three sons, John, Paul, and Otto. C. W. Raske is listed as a laborer in the Stillwater City Directory for 1884. In 1886~ a $90 stable was added to the property.l02 Joseph Litfin purchased his lot from Christopher Carli. in April of 1881, and soon thereafter built his $500 one-and-a-half-story 20-foot-by-28-foot home at 202 E. St.Croix Street. Although the family lived in the house over a decade (see the 1894 Stillwater City Directory listing in Appendix C)~ there is very little information on Joseph. However, we do know that in 1893, he had local carpenter Mads Nielson make a 14-foot by 16-foot $125 addition to the house. loa Andrew Johnson, a German immigrant, age 29, and his Danish wife Mary, age 28, purchased their building lot from Christopher Carli in May of 1883, and soon after built their small $300 house at 324 E.

Wilkin Street appears to have been built by Martin and Eliza Christianson in 1888. Into this relatively small $800 home, the two Danes brought their children: Carrie, Christian, and Cristina, as well as four adults: Hans and John Christianson, also from Denmark; Andrew Johnson from Denmark and August Peterson, a 80-year-old Swede. Martin was listed in the Stillwater City Directories for 1884 and 1887 as a laborer.107 William Conrad, who lived at 120 W. Willrln, sold Chester McKusick the lot next door in April of 1885, and McKusick, who was listed in the 1887 Stillwater City Directory as a "speculator," soon built the large $1,800 house at 106 W. Wilkin Street. Around the turn of the century, there was a mortgage foreclosure, and in 1905 the home was purchased by the Theodore and Minnie Converse family who lived there for many years. Just after he purchased the house, Mr. Converse had 10412 Deeds 111,1885 Mmnesota Census, family #1704, TaxAsscssom Records,l883, SAM 78, Ron 13, Clty of SbIlwater Budcting Permit # 976 IOS 10 Deeds 62; Tax Assessors Records, 1882, SAM 5, Ron 6. 106 1885 Mmnesota Census, fimuly #1704, 8 Deeds 145; Tax Assessors Records. 1882.

In 1922, he called upon Frank Linner for the third time to do a $300 remodel of his garage. loa Two PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS It was in the 1880's that most of the streets in tbe area were "opened;" the grade of the streets was set at public hearings, followed by the actual grading and filling to bring tbe street to its established grade. Because of the bills and ravines, this area required considerable effort on the part of the public works department. One of the most diflicult projects was the opening ofE. Elm Street between N. Main Street and N. First Street which required cutting down through the sheer bluff on the west side of N. Main Street. This was undertaken between 1884 and 1888, and most likely the stone quarried in the process was used in the construction of the north wall of the Prison.109 A second particularly large project would have been extending N. Third Street through the ravine between E. School and E. Wilkin Streets. This was, in fact, ordered by the City Council, but, as reported in the Stillwater Gazette of December 19, 1888, it was not to take place: "A petition signed by ~ S. Goodhue and others, protesting against the grading of North Third street from a point near Chestnut street to Willow street, was submitted, accepted and filed. The objection is that the e:x;penses which would be involved in the const1UCtion of culverts, and the making of '{ills' between School and Wilkin streets would cause too great an assessment to the few for the beT)efit of all, and would really be of little benefit to those upon whom the assessment would fall the heaviest. " CHRISTOPHER DIES On November 6, 1887, Christopher Carli, after several days of delirium, died at the City Hospital on Greeley Street, aged 75 years, 10 months, and 29 days. A few years before his death, an accident with a runaway horse had badly injured him, and he was "incapacitated for active business." Christopher's estate and property - almost all of it in Carli & Schulenburg's Addition - was appraised at $12,000. Lydia was the executrix, and primary heir of her husband's lOB Tax Assessors Records. 1886, SAM 5, RoD 8.

Sharp's patent stump puller. A second son, Socrates N. Carli had died at a young age. (Following a family tradition, the widow of Socrates, Mattie May, married her brother-in-law, Christopher H. Carli) There was also a bequest to his grandson, Christopher John A. Carli, the only son of Socrates N. Carli The city hospital received $57 in payment of the bill for the last "care and attendance" of Dr. Carli HOUSES OF THE 1890's In the summer of 1890, Mads Nielson, a carpenter who lived across the street at 1002 N. First Street, built the house, which remains atl005 N. First Street today. On the building permit, the price of the house was estimated to be $450, the projected size was 20-feet by 26-feet deep, one-and-a-haH stories, with 12-foot studs in the outside walls. Soren Johnson (or Sven Jensen as his name is spelled in one location), the owner, was a millwright.110 In the summer of 1890, Christopher H. Carli, manager of the stone quarry and the son of Lydia and Christopher, hired neighborhood carpenter Mads Nielson to build him a $1,000 two-story building, 22 feet by 50 feet. The building, which took the number, 1124 N. Second Street, was to be a store on the first floor, and a dwelling on the second floor. For a few short years, this grocery store was operated by Nelson P. Staples, but after Christopher's commitment to the Rochester Hospital for the Insane in 1893, the building went into foreclosure. Less than a decade later, in 1897, George Wilson bought the building, and in 1899 he rc::modeled it. According to the building permit taken out by Wilson, the structure "had been used for store purposes downstairs & Res upstairs." It was Wilson's intention to have the "entire building converted into dwelling' which would. cost "$500 about." In the process Wilson added "a 6' projection on south side to break the monotony, together with porches on east and south side." Beside the work on the structure itself, Wilson ordered the contractor to "also tear down an old barn & erect another on northwest comer of lot size 16' east & west, x 20 feet north & south with 12' dormer & pitched roof." "Also wood shed 10' x 20' between barn & house. Also closet 5' x 10' south of wood shed. " 111 On a cold winter day in January, 1897, Magnus Gyllstrom purchased Lot 2, Block 8 from Lydia Carli On this lot five years earlier, he had built his $700 home at 1012 N. Broadway. (I can only assume Magnus & Lydia had some kind of unrecorded agreement that dated from 1892 regarding his use of the land.)

Gillstrom of Houlton, $100 to construct an addition, one-story, 14 feet by 20 feet. The material was to be "second hand lumber."112 In the Nineteenth Century, generally, materials were expensive relative to labor. There was a good deal more recycling then than today. Lydia Carli gave a deed to Christian H. Moos for the south half of Lot 6, Block 16, in January of 1897. That summer Christian had local builder Soren Jensen (who lived at 1005 N. First Street) build him a $325 one-and-a-half story dwelling that was 20 feet by 24 feet. This home remains at 1219 N. First Street. Christian worked for a farm implement dealer in downtown Stillwater; his daughter, Mattie Moos, was a dressmaker. Three years after the house was built, there was an extensive fire causing $403 in damage. A spark from the chimney caused the fire. (In this period when many houses had wood shingles, chimney sparks were a major source of fire.) 113 Lydia Carli sold Gustav A Ruehle the west one-half of Lot 3, Block 17 in the spring of 1896. Ruehle, who had previously lived at 1302 N. Second Street, moved into hiliJ new home at 214 E. Stillwater Street in the later part of 1896. Gustav worked for the Chicago St Paul Milwaukee & Omaha Railway. Today this home has been meticulously refurbished by its present owners, and probably looks better now than when it was new.114 In November of 1892, August Roy purchased Lot 1, Block 22. But three more years were to pass before he built his $600 home at 1324 N. First Street. Roy was an engineer for the Stillwater Manufacturing Company.116 In September of 1897, Julianna Westlund purchased' a building lot from Lydia Carli. In October of that same year, she had a one-story $500 house, 12 feet by 22 feet by 36 feet deep built for her by C. O. Johnson, a house that remains today at 1223 N. Fourth Street. Julianna, the widow of John, was proprietress of a laundry at 252 N. Second Street. In 1921, Gunnard Bergsten, the owner, spent $250 to add two porches to the house.116 Lydia Carli sold a building lot to John P. and Ella Juhl in April 1897; the following month, he contracted with neighborhood carpenter Mads Nielson to build him a one-and-a-halfstory $500 14-foot-by-26-foot house that remains todayat1319 N. Second Street. Juhl was a carpenter with the Stillwater Manufacturing 112 45 Deeds 237. St11lwater Ctty D1rectones for 1894. 1896-7. 1902. Tax Assessors Records, 1893.

This home was subsequently sold to John and Ella's daughter, Ruth, who was married to Herman Mechelke. Upon Ruth's death, the house was sold to a newphew, Craig Hoftbeck and his wife, Jeannine. This is a "century house" meaning the home has been in the same family for over a cen~ury.117 LYDIA DIES Lydia Carli died on August 11, 1905 at the age of 87. She bad made ber way from Pennsylvania to Chicago as a teenage girl; her first husband had suffered bankruptcy and died leaving her with five children; she had moved to the Minnesota wilderness at the request of her step-brother, and married her brother-in-law. She had come to Stillwater when there was no Stillwater; in her lifetime it had grown to become the third largest city in Minnesota. In 1854, she and her husband had platted part of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition, but a depression came four years later, and it took them almost thirty years to realize a profit from their lots. The years had not been particularly kind to her. She had been alone since the death of her husband 18 years earlier. Many of her children and grandchildren were dead. In her lifetime, she had experienced considerable poverty. In 1893, her son, C. H. Carli, had been declared insane, and taken to the State Hospital at Rochester. Feeble, almost blind, her two children, Maria Bolles and Joseph R. Carli (by her first husband, Paul Carli) looked after her at her house on E. Aspen. But in an interview a few years before her death, the young woman who had once only wanted money, expressed the following sentiments: "l am not afraid of going,' the final ending has no terrors for me. Of course, I am in no particular hurry; this world is good enough for me; and, furthermore, I don't know anything about the next world. I came into this world with my eyes shut; I expect to go out of it under the same conditions. I have lived here fifty-eight years and have always been at peace with all mankind. It is a pleasure to me as I look back over my past life to realize that I was one of the vanguard, one of the pioneers who assisted in unlocking the gates of western civilization. I have no quarrel with the world, and though my Ufe has been checkered with the usual vicissitudes and its devious paths, not always strewn with flowers; quite the contrary; but with advancing years have come the blessings of con tentment and serene peace. Everybody is good to me, and my declining years are pleasant and peaceful.

Carli was the executor of her will, but he died in January of 1907 before her will was probated. Two other potential executors were approached, but declined. Finally, in 1913, eight years after Lydia's death, her granddaughter from St. Paul, Lydia Tubbs, was appointed to finish administering the will. Her estate was appraised at $2,500 in personal property, and $8,000 in real estate, mostly unsold lots in the south half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition. Lydia Tubbs, age 42, the granddaughter, inherited her house on N. Broadway. Her daughter, Maria Bolles, age 70, was given a set of dishes Dr. Carli had brought from Germany as well as the possession of the house at 1105 N. Second Street to use until her death. Her son, Joseph R. Carli, age 66, was given the paintings painted by his father, Paul, all those many years ago in Chicago. He also received her horse-drawn phaeton. The grandson, Christopher J. A. was given some lots in the neighborhood, and her other son, Christopher H. - since released from the State Hospital in Rochester - was excused from his debts to the estate.l19 AFTER THE TuRN OF THE CENTURY In late November of 1904, John Bergeron moved up the hill from Ius house on North Main Street, and built himself a home at 1204 North Broadway. 'The house was to be one-and-one-haH stories, 14 feet by 42 feet, and the cost was $650. In August of 1905, The Swedish Christian Methodist CJturch, having built a new church at 320 N. Fourth Street (today Loome Theological Books), sold the site of their previous location to Edward Johnson who built a store at 807 N. Fourth Street which took the name of the (CaTl) Berglund and (Carl) Peterson Grocery Store. Mr. Johnson ran the meat market across the street at 808 N. Fourth Street. For the first half of the century, these were the local food markets for this neighborhood. 120 In 1908, a small house was built on the south east corner of N. Third and St. Croix Streets which took the number 1211 N. Third Street. Soon thereafter, the owner, a L. Blome, hired local carpenter Mads Nielson to add a $200 kitchen addition, 14 feet by 16 feet, with one chimney.121 About 1911, August Gast, a foreman for the Northwest Thresher Company, moved from Dutchtown to build the home at 1117 N. Fourth Street.

In 1918, August had a contractor, Alfred Zaller, add a second floor and two new chimneys to the house at a cost of about $800. The permit noted that" The building is built of wood and has been used for seven years," and the upstairs was to be 20 feet by 42 feet.122 In June of 1921, Waiter Anderson, an employee of the Andersen Lumber Company, built a $8,500 home at 1020 North Broadway. According to the building permit, the house was to be one-and-a-half story, 24 feet by 80 feet, with a stucco finish and two chimneys.l23 In the summer of 1927, Christ Nielsen, who had been living at 209 E. W1Ikin Street, built himself a small craftsman style bungalow at 1213 N. Second Street. According to the permit, it was to be one-and-a-half stories, 22 feet by 26 feet, and cost $2,500.124 In the 1980's, only one house was built in the neighborhood; that was at 106 W. Stillwater Street in 1987. In the 1940's, there were three homes constructed. In 1941, Martin Hansen built a Cape Cod style home at 1305 N. First Street. According to the building permit, Frank. W. Steinmetz of the Consolidated Lumber Company was the architect. The cost was to be $4,700, and the size of the house, one-and-a-half story, 88 feet by 32 feet. In 1943, Hansen added a $300 garage, 18 feet by 22 feet, with a flat roof, the "same elevation as basement. "126 Mter the Second World War, in 1946, a home was built at 1221 N. First Street, and the following year, another house was erected at 1307 N. Broadway. . In the building boom of the 1950's, there were 12 new houses built in the neighborhood. Only two of them, 1005 N. Second Street and 904 N. First Street, were erected on the site of a house which had been previously demolished. In 1952, the first of the houses to be built in the old quarry was built at 1117 N. Broadway by Frank and Ruth Steinmetz. Frank was vice-President of Consolidated Lumber Company. - In the 1960's, six more new houses were squeezed into the area, including a second house on the edge of the old quarry at 913 N. Broadway. Since 1970, fourteen more houses have been added - most of them as :fill in among the older homes. In the 1990's, a newer house at 1023 N. Broadway was 122 Stillwater CIty DJrectOIy for 1912.

Another newer house at 918 N. Second Street was demolished to expand an estate on N. Fourth Avenue. In 1998, an old house at 220 E. Stillwater fell when it was raised off it's original foundation to build a new basement underneath; it was replaced with a new structure. But taken as a whole, the neighborhood must look very similar to its appearance in 1905 when Lydia died. The quarry site is filled with homes; the Territorial Prison is reduced to one building; many of the houses have been added to, and "modernized;" the residents of the area have new names, but if Christopher and Lydia were to walk these street.q again today, they would certainly recognize the neighborhood. they began developing over a century and a half ago.

This difference in dates is generally the result of a real estate agent using the (in parenthesis) building date found in the Assessor's Office when listing the home for sale.

South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater APPENDIX B BUIIDING DATES (Sorted by Address) The following is a listing of the houses in the neighborhood by the address and date they were built. For over six months, I have researched these houses and their building dates. I have used the records of the yearly visits by the tax assessor which are now in the Minnesota State Archives; I have used the City of Stillwater Building Permits; I have used the deeds and mortgages found in the Washington County Recorder's Office; in short, I have thoroughly researched the dates that I present below. In many cases, particularly for those homes built before 1900, my buildi"-g dates in bold will be different than the dates (in parenthesis) you have for your house. This difference in dates is generally the result of a real estate agent using the (in parenthesis) buiJdi"-g date found in the Assessor's Office when listing the home for sale. Before 1900, these (in parenthesis) dates in the Assessor's Ofli.ce are generally inaccurate, and only meant to serve as a general guideline.

Polk and Co. City Directory. If you had lived in this area a century ago, these would have been your neighbors, the people you knew. In a few cases, there are homes I know existed which are not listed in the Directory, for example, 1122 N. Broadway. Despite its mistakes, however, I think this is a good indication of who lived in the neighborhood and what they did for a living. Notice the houses listed along North Main Street, all of which are gone today, as are many of the homes in the 900 block of North First Street. Res. means generally the home owner; Bds. means a boarder, often an adult child of the home owner. Aspen E. 214, August Anderson, molder, res. Aspen E. 322, Lonzo D. Tubbs, livestock, bds.

Jensen 77 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater CONTEXTS There were two contexts appropriate to this survey. The first context was the statewide historic context: St. Croix Valley Triangle Lumbering (1848-1914). The chief economy in Stillwater in the 19th Century was that of the lumbering industry: gathering the timber, moving the timber to the Stillwater sawmills, and then delivering the finished lumber to the markets. In Appendix C, I have listed the occupations of all the residents of the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition in 1894. The vast majority were employed in some way in the lumber industry - either in the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Mill, or working for Seymour, Sabin & Co, or one of its offshoots. Tbe second context, which comes from the Stillwater historic context study (Vogel 1998) was: Development of Residential Neighborhoods in Stillwater, 1850's-1940's. Although Carli & Schulenburg's Addition was the first Addition made to Stillwater in 1854, the South Half was not developed until the 1880's when the growth of the city combined with two large employers to populate this northern portion of Stillwater. This is almost entirely a neighborhood of small working class homes; there are less than ten original large homes of the "lumber baron" type. There are no institutions within its boundaries. Like much of Stillwater, the topography is that of a series ofbluft's rising to the west, and intersected with large ravines. Probably the greatest amenity in the neighborhood is the site of the old quarry with its spectacular river views. Unfortunately that is today all private property. . 78 I J I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I .1 I I I. I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I I. I The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater RECOMMENDATIONS The following are my recommendations for the South Half of the Carli & Schulenburg Addition. They are based on the assumptIon it is desirable to maintain and promote the historic character of this neighborhood. It is my belief that the long term prosperity and value of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition and Stillwater's other older neighborhoods lies in preserving their old fashioned character. This is what distinguishes Stillwater from the myriad of other suburban developments surrounding the Twin Cities, and makes Stillwater a unique place to live. LoT SIZE REQUlRFMENTS During the building boom after World War II, many of the empty lots in Stillwater and some of the empty lots in Carli & Schulenburg's Addition were built upon, and today we often see blocks in which two 100-year old houses may be separated by one or two 1950's Ramblers. However, unlike other parts of old Stillwater where the housing density is higher and many of the previously empty lots have been built upon, there are still a surprising number of vacant, buildable lot.t; in the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition. As the pressure to build within Stillwater continues, these empty lots will become a greater and greater source of temptation to develbpers and real estate speculators. Under the present city ordinances, any half lot of 7,500 square feet is a buildable lot. If present trends continue, more and more of these now-vacant lots will be built upon. It is quite possible that in 20-30 years, the density of the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition could double from-129 houses to 250 houses. Because there are presently no design building restrictions in Stillwater residential neighborhoods, these new houses will not only increase the density of the area - thus destroying some of its appeal - they will also add further to the architectural jumble, and obliterate what historic.- streetscape remains today. Because no one builds small houses any more, (and the city has no design guidelines for blending into a neighborhood) these newer houses of 2,000-4,000 square feet will overwhelm the small 7,500 square foot building lots, and destroy the scale of the streetscape that is one basis, albeit subtle, of Stillwater's attraction. Spacious yards and open spaces are a characteristic of 19th Century neighborhoods. 79 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater I recommend the City of Stillwater change the minimum buildable lot size from 7,500 square feet to a minimum of 10,000 square feet. I also recommend the City explore the possibility of design guidelines for the older parts of Stillwater including the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition. HIsToRIC DESIGNATION In this survey, as in previous surveys, I have tried to identify homes that are significant or unique; homes that are typical of a long forgotten time; or homes that are particularly representative of Stillwater. But these surveys of mine are soon forgotten, and the significance I have asCl'loed to a particular dwelling may be forgotten as soon as the next owner. I urge the City of Stillwater and the Heritage Preservation Committee to initiate a process of designating and marking the historically significant houses in Stillwater. This will have the benefit of apprising the present owner that his home has value as a city landmark, and it will enable those interested in the history of the city to find the historical homes. I recommend the City of Stillwater should initiate its own historic designation for houses throughout the city that are a significant part of Stillwater's history. RAVINES Ravines are a characteristic feature of Stillwater, with its many hills eroded into mini tributaries of the S\. Croix River. Ravines are unique spaces in the city. They have their own flora and fauna. They have served through the years as roads, walking paths, gardens, play areas, and treasured wild life preserves. Some are public, some are private. There are several ravines within the South Half of Carli & Schulenburg's Addition. Tbey form an important part of the 19th Century landscape as well as treasured spaces today. I recommend the City of Stillwater take every measure possible to preserve the ravines in their natural condition. 80 1- .1 I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I .1 I I I. I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I I. I 'I'M South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater EDUCATION ON REMODELING OLDER HOMES The city - or some local organization should make some efforts to provide information to th~ public on maintaining and remodeling or repairing the older homes. In Stillwater, older homes that have maintained their original integrity command a higher price than those homes have been changed from their original appearance. But the average homeowner who might be concerned about preserving the integrity of his house is presently hard pressed to find good information on how to improve or update his house without destroying it historic value. A simple brochure containing some basic guidelines to be distributed by realtors, neighborhood groups, and the city could-over a period of years-- make a substantial difference on the overall appearance of the city. THE DEMOliTION OF BUIlDINGS Every year, a few more old buildings in Stillwater are demolished despite a city ordinance regulating and discouraging the process. In some cases, it is a matter of business or church expansion; in some cases it is the owners wishing to build a new house on the same lot; and in several cases lately, it has been a matter of demolishing the old house to increase the value of the lot which can then be used for a newer more expensive house. This latter situation has been particularly true of those lots with a river view. While this practice may be lucrative for the developer, I believe it detracts from the community as a whole: the old houses are part of a legacy, an inheritance, left for future generations. One of the additional steps the city might take to encourage preservation would be to have architects and builders on call that are svmpathetic to repairing and restoring older houses. This might discourage one of the most frequent rationales - that the house is beyond repair - used to justify demolition. . 81 The South One-Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition to Stillwater BIBLIOGRAPHY Birds Eye Views of Stillwater, 1870 and 1879.

Broadway where the quarry was, and the park proposed on what IS today part of the golf course. A Parkway would have traversed the neighborhood by going east on E. Wilkin, north on N. Broadway, west one block on E. St. Croix, north two blocks on N. First, east on E. Jumper (since vacated) to the bluff top, north two blocks along the bluff, west on Balsam (since vacated) to then wind diagonally to Brown's Creek. These Parkways would have given splendid river views to the public; instead today the views are all private property. Plan of St~llwater.

A portion of the Bird's Eye View Map of 1879: On the right side is the Schulenburg & Boeckeler Mill at the foot of E. Sycamore Street. Above the mill is the $6,000 mansion of Louis Hospes on North First just north of E. Sycamore. (The house has been demolished.) To the south of the Hospes mansion are 1320 and 1322 N. Broadway and 1323 N. First Street. All of the buildings along N. Main Street north of the Prison are gone. All of the houses on the E Elm Street hill are gone today, as are the buildings on N. First Street rising from the Prison. The large house toward the center of the map IS the Conrad house at 120 W. Wilkin Just north of that house is the structure at 1121 N. Fourth, the one-time- Minnesota Hospital. The Chamber's home at 920 N. Third can be seen at the east end of W. Aspen Street. As you can see, there were not many houses built in the neighborhood The building boom was in the 1880's.

Notice the characteristic chimneys: one is in the center wall between the two rooms in the gable end. Often the stovepipe from the stove on the first floor would be extended up through the ceiling. and enter the chimney on the second floor. thereby bringing a modicum of heat to an otherwise unheated second floor.

MeI110randum To: Mayor and CIty Council From: Klayton Eckles, CIty Engin~ Date: August 30, 2001 Subject: Modrfication of the CIty'S Parking RegulatIons Second Reading of Ordmance Changes to Section 51 DISCUSSION: Attached IS a copy of the CIty'S parking regula1:J.ons. Section 51-5 concerns snow emergencies and wmter parking rules. Staff recommends that CIty CounCIl hold a second readmg of an ordmance modIfying Section 51-5 to eliminate SubdIVISIOns 1 through 3. SubdivisIon 1 of this sec1J.on designates snow emergency routes. It also designates the types of signage to be used to mark snow emergency routes SubdIvision 2 of tins section describes parkmg procedures on snow emergency routes. SubdIvisIOn 3 dIscusses the operation of vehicles on snow emergency routes. EhmmatLon of these three SubdIvisions will result m a change m the parkmg procedures on all streets desIgnated as snow emergency. Smce they are no longer designated as snow emergency routes, SubdiVisIOn 5 Calendar Parking will become the controling ordinance for parkmg on all these streets. Staff recommends that councll also modify Subdivision 5 concerning calendar parkmg. SpecIfically, paragraph 5c of SubdIvision 5 should be changed to read. 4th Street and 3rd Street from Myrtle Street to Mulberry Street. Also, paragraph 5d can be eliminated. TIns paragraph provides for parking on both SIdes ofWaInut Street from 3rd to 5th. TIns paragraph is probably no longer necessary smce the courthouse IS no longer a major hub of activity. Fmally paragraph 7 of SubdIVision 5 should be elimmated. TIns modificatLon will result in Laurel Street being odd/even for Its entIre length. There is one additional proposed change for Section 51. Staff recommends that Section 51-2 Parkmg RegulatIons be modIfied to include an additional subdivision. Subdivision 13 titled OddIEven Parking m LIberty and Legends. A paragraph implements odd/even calendar parkmg throughout the entire year to ehmmate bottleneck for emergency vehicles. Sec. 51-1. Time limit parking. Subd. 1. Zones. The city council may, by reso- lution, designate certain areas where the right to park motor vehicles, equipment or structures is limited by time. The chief of police and the public works director shall mark by appropriate signs each zone so designated. No person may park in any limited parking zone for a longer period than is specified. Subd. 2 Shifting of parked vehu:les. Any vehi- cle parked in a limited time zone and found to be within 200 feet ofits previous location in a limited time zone is deemed to have remained statJ.onary. (Code 1980, fi 51.01; Ord. No. 773, 7-20-93) Sec. 51-2. Parking regulations. Subd. 1. Ovemlf1ht parking. No person may park or permit any vehicle to stand upon any highway, street, alley, city-owned parking lot or any other public property in the city for more than 24 consecutive hours except in areas designated for such parking by signs erected by authority of the city council, and except in emergency situa- tions where prior authorization for the parking has been obtained from the chief of police. Subd. 2 Commercial motor vehicles No motor vehicle over one-ton capacity bearing a cammer- ciallicense and n.o commercially licensed trailer may be parked on any street or roadway in any area in the city which is zoned residential, except when such vehicle is engaged in loading and unloading or rendering a service in the area involved. Subd. 3. Private property; owner pennission required.
