Training Proposal — Additional Information Due to a very short window of less than an hour between receiving the proposal from Hennepin Technical College and submitting the proposal to you in your council packets, my report was not as complete as planned. A complete summary of costs could not be provided, but is contained in this more detailed memo. As you consider this proposal, please keep in mind: 1. Costs have been estimated as a "worst case" scenario, based on levels of participation higher than expected. 2. The proposed schedule is busy, but is geared specifically that way for the firefighters that want to progress quickly through the training and certificates, and be highly competitive in promotional exams. 3. Many options are available including • Spread the schedule out over five or six years, reducing the annual costs. • Limit the total dollars annually to "X" amount. • Limit the total number of students we enroll in each course • Contract the program as proposed with H.T.C. for one year. Evaluate the program after six months, and make decisions on subsequent year(s) at that time. What is being proposed has a proven track record here in Washington County and elsewhere. The Wakota Fire Chiefs Association (southern Washington and Dakota County Chiefs) has had a similar program going for the last three years. It has been very successful and has helped many of the fire departments in that area progress steadily toward goals similar to ours. Many departments require participation in, or completion of, the company officer certificate for all officers. Explanation of Costs Under the "credit- based" payment system, Stillwater will pay only for the students enrolled from our fire department. The proposal is based on an estimated fifteen firefighters from Stillwater. If only five take a given course, our total costs for that course would be only one -third of what's proposed, in both tuition and wages. The course will still occur as long as there are a total of at least 15 students from all departments combined. • To provide a comparison of credit -based verses hourly -based courses that looks more like apples to apples than the original proposal, here is a comparison for a two - credit class. Proposal 2 Minnesota Fire Service Certification Board 4 -hour refresher course for entire dept. $340 Certification Tests ($50 /person x 20) $1,000 Certification renewals ($20 /person every 3 yrs. x 13 /year) $260 /year 3 -Year Total (approx.) $1,860 Proposal 3 110 -hour Emergency Medical Technician — Basic For 5 of 8 full -time personnel (3 already certified) (5 x $672.60 tuition & books) $3,363 O.T. Wages for attending (5 x 110 hours x $22 avg.) $12,100 TOTAL $15,463 Requires a 24 hour refresher every 2 years instead of the 8 hour refresher required for e Responder. Proposal 4 Continue existing budget seminar budget of $7,000 for professional development of officers, state and national conferences, and a formal tuition reimbursement program. Chief officers (3 asst. chiefs, 1 chief): 1 national conference All officers (6 captains, 3 asst. chiefs, 1 chief): 1 convention in Minnesota, plus 1 local conference or course. (such as sprinklers, fire alarm systems, commercial hood extinguishing systems, underground storage tanks, fire code, building code, fire prevention education, fire investigation, etc.) All dept. personnel: Tuition reimbursement for any courses in the fire science technology degree program. I'll look forward to discussing these exciting proposals with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. • • 114 - Service Careers Hazardous Materials Specialty Hazard Sector Officer Specialized Monitoring Hazardous Materials Specialty Containers Hazardous Materials Specialty Flammables - Solids.

Although high quality training has been ongoing in the Stillwater Fire Department for decades, the time has come to enhance the educational component of that training. Fire science education through a technical college will have many goals and objectives, including: • Compliance with regulatory agencies such as OSHA • Improved safety for personnel • Assure promotability within the organization • Increase self - confidence in organization and coworkers • Prepare organization to set and meet minimum standards for positions • Enhanced morale Training Program In the twin cities metropolitan area, North Hennepin Community College (N.H.C.C.) offers an Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.) in Fire Science Technology. The technical courses for the degree are offered through Hennepin Technical College (H.T.C.). Since this degree program started in 1988, 65 people have received the degree. Optional subparts of the degree include Certificates titled "Suppression Technician" and "Company Officer" (outlines attached). Here is a sampling of local fire departments large and small, and the training they provide their personnel: • Hopkins — pays tuition and books for all classes in the A.A.S. Fire Science Technology degree. All positions have minimum requirements for courses taken. • Minneapolis — pays tuition, books, and time to send every rookie through 29 credits before first day of actual duty shift. H.T.C. conducts all of the training and promotional testing up through the rank of Battalion Chief. • Woodbury — pays tuition, books, and wages including travel time for courses. Course requirements and annual continuing education for all officer positions. • St. Louis Park — Pays tuition, books, and wages for courses. • St. Paul — Three -year apprenticeship program. Pays tuition, books and wages. • West St. Paul — City -wide tuition reimbursement program. $18,000 annual budget. $4,000 to fire dept. personnel. All fire officers & acting officers must have a minimum of 48 or 62 credits and must take at least one course annually. • Oakdale — • Eden Prairie — H.T.C. has conducted all of its drill sessions for last 6 months. • Vadnais Heights — H.T.C. has conducted most of its drill sessions in last four months. • Brooklyn Center — Pays tuition, books, and call pay for emergency calls that occur during class session hours. Attached is a tentative schedule for courses that could be provided on site in Stillwater. The proposed courses are all part of either the Suppression Technician or Company Officer certificates. Also attached is a proposal from H.T.C. for providing courses in Stillwater. "Hour - based" and "credit- based" cost estimates are provided. In either case, the courses would be open to other fire departments in the area. Under the hour -based option we could recover some of our costs by charging fees to other fire departments. The downside of this option is that much administrative time is required to process the registrations, invoices, etc. Most fire departments contracting with H.T.C. pay on the credit -based option. The proposal is based on an estimate of an average of 15 Stillwater fire personnel attending each course. I recommend the City of Stillwater pay tuition, books, and wages for all courses on the proposed schedule. Emergency Medical Technician — Basic would only be provided for full -time personnel, not for part-time personnel. However, we would continue to provide EMT -B refreshers for part-time personnel that obtain EMT -B on their own. In addition to this schedule, I recommend a tuition reimbursement program for all coursework toward the Fire Science Technology A.A.S. Degree. 100% reimbursement of tuition only would be provided upon successful completion of the course with a letter grade of "C" or better. Students would pay for their own books, and take the classes on their own unpaid time. Approval for the attending the course would have to be obtained prior to the start of each course. Recommended annual budget for the tuition reimbursement program is $2,500, as part of the current $7,000 seminar line item. Recommendations 1. New Additional Budget Item: Approve three -year contract with Hennepin Technical College Costs: $14,738 tuition in each of 2003, 2004, & 2005 (based on $98.25 /credit x 15 people x 10 credits /year = $14,738 /year) $2,000 books in each of 2003, 2004, & 2005 $33,600 in each of 2003, 2004, &2005 for additional wages. (average $14 /hour x 15 people x 10 credits x 16 hrs /credit = $33,600) • • • • 2. New Additional Budget Item: Approve participation in Minnesota Fire Service Certification Board (includes FF I & II, Fire Apparatus Operator, Fire Officer I & II, or Fire Inspector I. Each person certifies in one category.) Note: Approximately '/2 of Minnesota's 800 fire departments participate, and the same certification process is used in over 30 states, 5 provinces in Canada, and many countries. Refresher course: $340 for entire dept. Certification test: $50 /person x 20 = $1,000 Certification renewal: $20 /person/3 -years x 13 people each year = $260 /year Costs: $1,400 in 2003, $260 in subsequent years • 4. Continue existing budget of $7,000 for professional development of officers, state and national conferences, and tuition reimbursement program. • 3. New Additional Budget Item: Approve in 2003 budget the 110 -hour Emergency Medical Technician — Basic course for 5 of 8 full -time personnel currently not certified. Three full -time personnel are currently certified as EMT's. Costs: $2,500 for course ($500 x 5) $12,100 for wages Requires 24 -hour refresher course every two years This would be offset by eliminating the 8 -hour refresher for First Responder each two years. (Offset: $880 every two years being spent currently for First Responder refresher classes for those 5 personnel.) Chief Officers (4): 1 national conference. All officers (6 captains, 3 asst. chiefs, 1 chief): 1 convention in Minnesota, plus 1 local conference or course. (such as sprinklers, fire alarm systems, commercial hood extinguishing systems, underground storage tanks, fire code, building code, fire prevention education, or fire investigation) All dept. personnel: Tuition reimbursement for any courses in fire science technology degree program. • Stillwater Fire Department Training Schedule with Hennepin Technical College (Proposed) j Course (Fire Ground Control Building Const. for the Fire Service Apparatus Operator - Basic Company Functions Aerial Apparatus !Fire Officer I 'Incident Management System Apparatus Operator - Advanced Fire Officer II Hazardous Materials - Operational Fire Investigation - Basic Fire Instructor - Basic Fire Inspector - Basic 1 'Emergency Medical Tech. - Basic (Hazardous Materials - Technician Prerequisite 2 2 App.Op.- Basic 1 24 hours 2 3 Haz.

FOR NOMMER TTY MEMBER (753 550.21x5 YlEOSITF 1xwn.hlt cf~..mnuti add Introduction to Hennepin Technical College Hennepin Technical College (HTC) is proud to announce our twenty- seventh year of operation in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area in 2000. In the tradition of our past successes, we continue to seek new avenues for partnerships that benefit everyone in the learning process. HTC is a public education institution governed by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System (MnSCU). The College's mission is to provide training for employment in an ever - changing workplace. The project proposed herein, and the partnership it represents, directly relate to our College's mission to respond to the needs of workers and employers, and to prepare learners for an evolving workplace environment. HTC has campuses in Brooklyn Park and Eden Prairie; training facilities in Plymouth and Hopkins house Customized Training Services (CTS). HTC has more than 40 program offerings. Of those, 25 programs lead to an Associate of Applied Science Degrees. Experience and Canacitv Hennepin Technical College has been providing Fire Fighter and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) training for twenty -five years. At inception, all of the training programs were hour -based or non - credit. In 1986 HTC converted all of its Fire and EMS Training course work to a credit -based format. At any given time HTC has well over 200 individual enrollees in Fire Protection and EMS courses. HTC now offers the following degree, diploma and occupational certificates: Associate in Applied Science Degree -- Fire Science Technology The AAS Degree in Fire Science Technology prepares students to perform the duties of a line officer. As students' progress, they will also complete the re uirements for two certificates: Fire Suppression Technician and Company Ofcer. Students typically complete the Fire Suppression Technician certificate first, which qualifies them for lead firefighter positions with most • • fire departments. As students gain experience and continue their work toward an Associate Degree, they will each earn a Company Officer certificate. The course work also prepares students to take promotional exams. Diploma -- Fire Protection Technician The Fire Protection Technician Diploma is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to progress in the fire service field. Fire suppression techniques and company officer training will be covered. Occupational Certificate -- Fire Suppression Technician The Fire Suppression Technician Certificate will prepare the student to perform lead firefighter and apparatus operator functions. Students learn firefighter techniques, company functions, hazardous materials functions and emergency medical procedures. Teamwork is emphasized throughout the program. Occupational Certificate — Fire Inspection/Investigation This Certificate prepares firefighters, building officials, building inspectors, insurance inspectors, electrical engineers and lawyers to perform fire inspections and investigations. It meets the requirements of NFPA 1021 and 1031. Occupational Certificate — Hazardous Materials This certificate prepares Public Safety Responders, Police, Firefighters, EMS's and Emergency Managers to handle responses to hazardous material spills. It will prepare them to be members of public hazardous materials response teams. It meets the requirements of OSHA 1910.120 and NFPA 472. Advanced Technical Certificate -- Company Officer This certificate prepares firefighters to perform the duties of Company Officers. This will include the areas of basic management, tactics, inspection, fire investigation and incident management, with training that meets the requirements of NFPA 1021. Prerequisite: Fire Suppression Certificate or equivalent. Emergency Medical Services The EMS Certificate provides enhanced entry-level job training for employment in a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance service and the Advanced Life Support (ALS) EMS ride -along experience requirements for persons interested in entering a paramedic program. Several certificate courses provide transferable credit to Inver Hills Community College Emergency Health Services (paramedic) program. Included in the program is an 80 hour internship with HCMC ALS Ambulance Service. Areas covered are special transportation training, an ambulance service operations and run simulation course, behind - the -wheel emergency driving course, proper lifting techniques plus interpersonal communication skills that paramedic schools and employers are seeking. Emergency Room Technician The Emergency Room Technician (ER Tech) Certification prepares you to be part of the health care team in an Emergency Department (ED) or Urgent Care setting.

Prior to the start of the second year, the pricing structure will be reviewed. Increases in costs during the final two years of your proposed training schedule will be based on factors such as faculty bargaining unit salary increases, increases in prices of consumable materials and other variables that affect the overall cost of delivering training courses and promotional processes. Based on past experience, HTC does not anticipate increases exceeding seven (7) percent per year during the final two years for your proposed training schedule. Prices for all courses are per person, per credit and do not include books and instructional materials. Courses require a minimum enrollment of fifteen (15) people. Price per credit does not include a one -time, twenty - dollar ($20) registration fee for all new and existing MFD employees who have not enrolled in an HTC course prior to the start of the contract. ' All credit courses will be billed at $98.25 per credit. Any non - credit or • hour based course will be billed at $110.00 per hour. Example: Credit Courses FRPT 2110 Fire Ground Control — 2 Credits $98.25 x 2 = $196.50 x 15 student (minimum) = $2947.50 total (each additional over the 15 minimum will be billed at 98.25 per credit) Non - credit (hour based) 24 hour Apparatus Operator (Basic) $110.00 per hour x 24 hours = $2640.00 total (no student minimum) Please keep in mind that your Department will receive a fire tuition voucher for one ($1.00) dollar per hour of all student contact time. These vouchers can be used to help pay for future Fire Training classes for Stillwater Fire. This program is administered through the Fire, EMS, Safety division of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities via the two -year Technical Colleges.

Mr. Kershbaum said his business has gone very well but his business is by impulse and that when he has scheduled appointments his customers do not know where to find him.

Mr. Kershbaum explained that he has tried to work with Mr. Anderson and has paid Mr. Anderson $2.00 per person to cover the daily slip fee.

" As a singer /performer for one of last year's successful Waterfront concerts in Pioneer Park, I would like to propose organizing, promoting, and performing a benefit concert in Lowell Park for the local Humane Society for Companion Animals. The concert would preferably be held Wednesday, August 7` the Wednesday following the last concert of this year's Waterfront series. Mike Robinson of The Elephant Walk has given me permission to utilize his stage, and I will provide all necessary sound and lighting for the concert. Raising funds for the shelter will be the responsibility of the Humane Society, i.e. setting up a booth, requesting donations, etc... Where the only aspect of the concert that concerns the city of Stillwater is to provide a permit to use Lowell Park that evening, this is my request of you and the City Council. In November of 1999 I organized and performed a benefit concert at the Junior High School which raised over $400 for the St. Croix Animal Shelter (now merged with the Ramsey County Humane Society to become the Humane Society for Companion Animals). It was a thrill to provide a venue for raising necessary funds for such a great organization. Please consider this request for a permit in Lowell Park. The animals would surely be grateful. If you have any questions, please contact me at your earliest convenience via cell: (612) 759-0904.

City Council From: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer Date: June 27, 2002 Subject: Additional Improvements to Brown's Creek Nature Preserve DISCUSSION A few years ago, the City received and budgeted money for improvements for the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve. To date, the City has spent approximately $60,000 $53,000 in the Nature Preserve fund. Additional improvements to the Nature Preserve have been,. discussed. At the last Park Board meeting, the Park Board suggested that prior to the construction of permanent facilities such as parking lots and ski warming house, we develop a final plan for the overall park area. City staff is capable of working on a final plan for the layout and improvements that may fly within the final plan. However some of the details of the final plan may, require the assistance of an outside consultant. For instance, if we develop a interpretive trail or signage plan, there maybe a need to enlist some outside expertise. Therefore, staff suggests Council authorize staff to spend up to $3,000 for outside consultant assistance on this project. Another issue that requires Council consideration concerns final enhancements to the prairie restoration. Last year, the seeding contractor was hired to place the initial seed mix in the areas that are being restored as prairie. The final step, in the initial establishment of a prairie involves hand placing of individual plant seedlings. This increases the diversity of plants and also allows the creation of a high quality showcase prairie in designated areas. Staff would like to proceed with this phase of the prairie restoration this year. P1alnt,material could be purchased for approximately $5,0_0_0 and be installed this fall. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council authorize the additional expenditures from the dedicated fund for the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve. Expenditures of $5,000 for plant material and $3,000 for consulting assistance is anticipated. • MEMORANDUM The Heritage Preservation Commission has received a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society Grants Committee for $5000 (attached). This money is matched by the City and used toward the completion of the Stillwater Historical Architectural Survey that was started in 1994. The Survey study is divided up into neighborhoods. Eight neighborhoods have been surveyed as of today, they are: Downtown District, North Hill South Hill Greeley District Holcombe Addition Hersey Staples & Co. Addition Cart and Schulenburg Addition Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter's Addition (West Half) The next neighborhood is the Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter's Addition (East Half). The Heritage Preservation is requesting authorization to advertise for an investigator for this phase of the architectural survey. Enclosed is the Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter's Addition (West Half) Architectural Survey. • To: Mayor and City Council From: Sue Fitzgerald, Planner Date: September 2, 2001 Re: Fiscal Year 2001 Certified Local Government Award May 8, 2002 The Honorable Jay Kimble City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater 55082 MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY RE: F.Y. 2002 Certified Local Government Award Federal Grant Number: 27 -02- 17553.002 Dear Mayor Kimble: I am pleased to inform you that on April 4, 2002, the Minnesota Historical Society's Grants Review Committee reviewed the city's Certified Local Government grant application.

DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION Appendix A City (CLG) City of Stillwater — Stillwater, MN Grant Time Period July 1, 2002 to July 31, 2003 History: The City of Stillwater has prepared a historic context document entitled Stillwater Historic Contests: A Comprehensive Planning Aoo roach. The document was funded with local funds and a CLG Grant. Robert C. Vogel was the principal investigator on the project. The contexts developed for the City of Stillwater include: Pre - contact Period Native American Cultural Traditions in the Lower St. Croix Valley. Native American European Contact and Initial Euro - American Settlement in the Lower St. Croix Valley. Stillwater and St. Croix Triangle Lumbering. Stillwater Town Planning and Development. St. Croix River, Railroads and Overland Transportation. Stillwater and Late Nineteenth Century Agricultural Development. Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Industrial Development. Development of Downtown Stillwater. Development of Residential Neighborhoods in Stillwater. Stillwater City, Washington County and State Government. These contexts will be used for this project as well as a basis for local designations in the future. Along with the development of the Historic Contexts, Historic Preservation Planning Areas have been assigned, dividing the City into manageable areas for survey and evaluation purposes. Seventeen neighborhoods or areas were identified. Six of the seventeen neighborhoods have been evaluated and surveyed as to their local significance and potential for local designation. They are: North Hill Original Town South Hill Original Town. Sabin/Greeley Addition Dutchtown Neighborhood Holcombe District Hersey Staples & Co. Carli & Schulenburg's Addition Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition -West Half (will be completed 7/31/02),, Research on all on these surveys have been funded with local funds and CLG Grants. The proposed Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter Addition — East Half will be the ninth phase of the survey and will be completed in the same manner as the above projects. (The entire addition has about 270 structures. The City feels this is to many houses for the HPC to take an active roll in the in kind services).. Survey forms will be prepared (Appendix B) for each property, photographs taken; the area will be evaluated as to its local historic significance. The process will follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Registration (pages 44726 to 44728 in the Federal Register of September 29, 1983 and MN SHPO's Guidelines for SHPO Architecture/History Projects of January 1993). The Historic Contexts will be used in the evaluation phase along with the following criteria established by city ordinance: (a) Its character interest or value as part of the development heritage or cultural characteristics of the City of Stillwater, State of Minnesota or United States; (b) Its location as a site of a significant historical event; (c) Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of Stillwater; (d) Its embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, form or treatment; (e) Its identification as work of an architect or master builder whose individual work has influenced the development of Stillwater, (f) Its embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship which represent a significant architectural innovation; and (g) Its unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the City of Stillwater. A consultant will be hired to complete a survey for 135 houses, photograph each one and evaluate its potential significance. The consultant hired for this project will follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for survey and evaluation. The individual will also meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards (see page 44738) in the Federal Register of September 29, 1983. A potential local historic district recommendation is anticipated out of the evaluation 4) phases of the project. A document will be prepared with recommendations on a local • district and will be use as supporting documentation for potential local designation of the Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter Addition. Copies of survey forms and photographs will be filed in the St. Croix Collection of the Stillwater Public Library for use by residents, city staff and property owners. Work Summary The project will consist of surveys and evaluations of the City's west half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter Addition. The area was platted in 1855. There are 270 structures within the entire Addition. The Addition was divided into two sections. Each half has about 130 houses in it. The project will be accomplished under the supervision of personnel meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards. Photoeraah Guideline The contractor will photograph all inventoried properties with black and white 35mm. The first frame on each roll of black and white film will contain a label identifying the roll as part of the City of Stillwater's CLG Survey. All negatives will become the property of SHPO. Individual prints or contact sheets may be ordered by the City or its contractor. Consultant and Progress Reports 1. The City will inform the Society's Grants office of the name and qualifications of the historian, architectural historian or historical architect with whom it has contracted within fifteen (15) days of the contract's execution. The City will at the same time provide a copy of the contract and a complete report on the procurement process demonstrating compliance with federal competitive procurement requirements. (See Part VI of 2000 CLG Grants Manual). 2. On November 1,2002, the City will submit Progress No. 1 to the Society's Grants Office outlining the work that has been accomplished to date plus a Research Design for the project. The Research Design should follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Identification (Federal Register, September 29, 1983, pages44720- 44723), including the Objectives of the survey, and the Expected Results of the survey; and the MN SHPO's Guidelines for SHPO Architecture/Historical Projects of January 1993. Note: The Research Design should refer not only to the material projects of the survey, but the kinds of historical materials that will be used and synthesized. 3. April 1, 2003, the City will submit Progress Report No. 2 including sample inventory forms to the Society's Grants Office to be reviewed by SHPO staff. 4. June 4, 2003, the City will submit Progress Report No.3 to the Society's Grants Office detailing work accomplished to date. 5. July 31, 2003, the City will submit the Final Report to the Society's Grants Office. 6. The Society may request other written progress reports and on -site reviervs project progress, as necessary. Final Products The Final Products to be submitted with the Project Director's Report and Request for Reimbursement (See Appendix II, subsection III of 2001 CLG Manual) will be printed on a letter quality printer or a typewriter (they should not be printed on a dot matrix printer). Products should conform to the standards and guidelines specified in the most current edition of the MN's SHPO's Guidelines for SHPO Architecture/11story Proiects. Products will consist of: 1. Inventory forms for all surveyed properties. All forms will be typed and , numbered according to the established SHPO numbering system. Each form will contain an original photograph of the property using one of the two contact sheets with the sheet identification number written on the back of each frame. Data from current SHPO inventory forms prepared by the City. SHPO staff will provide copies of the current inventory forms at the commencement of the project (Appendix B). UTM coordinates are also required for all properties. 2. A narrative report of the survey. This report must conform to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for reporting identification results (see Federal Res inter, September 29, 1983, pages 44721 and 44723) and MN SHPO's Guidelines for SHPO Architecture/History Projects on January 1993. A statement providing the total number of properties inventoried and the total acreage surveyed must be included in the abstract or management summary. One unbound and two bound copies (see No. 4 below) of this report are to be submitted to SHPO. 3. A map indicating each surveyed property or other appropriate map. If available, the individual properties should be plotted on a plat map that indicates the precise location of individual properties. Color coding schemes should not be used because they do photocopy. • • 4. The two bound copies of the final product, with the exception of the inventory forms, should be bound with a GBC binding. Proiect Director's Report The report will include a brief description of the administration of the project. Two copies of this report will be submitted to the Society's Grants Office with the Final Products and the Request for Reimbursement Form. 11. PROJECT PRODUCTS The intention of the study is to document the next phase of the survey. The Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter Addition (east half) survey will include comparisons, both • similarities and differences in the seven completed surveys (North Hill Original Town, 1 South Hill Original Town, Greeley Addition, Dutchtown District, Holcombe District, Hersey Staples & Co., Carli & Schulenburg project and the Churchill, Nelson &- ' - Slaughter Addition). The final report will be used for future historic site designations, comprehensive planning and used as a basis for future surveys. All work conducted will follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for planning. 12. COMMUNITY SUPPORT The Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission, Rivertown Restoration, Planning Commission and the Stillwater City Council have been monitoring the surveys and strongly support the study. Cash and match in -kind services amounting to $6,700 will be contributed to 2002/2003 project. 13. PROJECT IMPACT There has been significant historical data gathered about Stillwater and many books and periodicals written on the community. This study will organize Stillwater history into meaningful context that will permit all interested persons and organizations obtain greater information about the historical development of Stillwater. It will also provide a basis for future local historic designations of sites, buildings and districts. From this study, future surveys can be conducted based on the contexts identified. It will also be used as a planning tool for the City Comprehensive Plan update. 14. PROJECT PERSONNEL The City of Stillwater will retain the services of an experienced consultant to assist with the research and development of appropriate contexts at the rate of $30 per hour. This consultant will meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards (as published in the Federal Register of February 29, 1983) as stipulated in the project description. To assist the consultant, the Heritage Preservation Commission and Stillwater Planning staff will solicit the participation of local historians, historic information gathered by Rivertown Restoration and other individuals. The City Planning Department will be responsible for the management of the grant and serving as staff to the Heritage Preservation Commission. 15.

The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition ABSTRACT ne hunched and forty-six properties within an area of forty acres were surveyed for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. These properties are located in Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota in an area designated as the West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater HPPA. The complete papers generated by this survey will be deposited with the City of Stillwater, and the Minnesota Historical Society. 3 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition • INTRODUCTION • • etween December 1, 2001, and June 1, 2002, Empson Archives liPconducted a National Register survey of the West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition HPPA residential area of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota. The project area was the NE '/4 of Section 33, Township 30 N, Range 20 W. Included within the survey is the West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater. The objective of the study was to conduct an intensive historical survey of the West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater residential neighborhood bounded by, or on a line with, South Holcombe Street on the West; South Fourth Street on the East; West Hancock Street on the South; and West Willard Street on the North. There are 146 structures within this survey area covering 40 acres. The work was conducted between December 1st, 2001 and June 1st, 2002 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 Holcombe's Additions residential area were evaluated for preliminary National Register significance in terms of one appropriate statewide historic contexts: "St. Croix Valley Triangle Lumbering (1843- 1914)." The project team consulted the Stillwater historic context study (Vogel 1993) in evaluating local significance and determined the appropriate context was: "Development of Residential Neighborhoods in Stillwater, 1850's- 1940's." This effort is part of the on -going program of the Minnesota Historical Society's State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), which began after passage of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The SHPO The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition 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. 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 commercial 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 Historic Contexts: A Comprehensive Planning Approach," was completed in July 1993. The Stillwater HPC has divided the city's neighborhoods into Historic Preservation Planning Areas (HPPAs) and intends to proceed with systematic surveys of all Stillwater neighborhoods over the next decade. The current report summarizes the results of the fourth HPPA to be systemically surveyed. The seven 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, the Hersey, Staples Addition, and the South One -Half of the Carli Schulenburg Addition. The Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission has indicated that it will make this survey history available to the residents of the area. 5 • • • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition RESEARCH DESIGN he project area was the NE %4 of Section 33, Township 30 N, Range 20 W. Included within the survey area is Churchill, Nelson, & Slaughter'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. (Two previous surveys have used the date of the building found on the assessment card at the tax assessor's office. Before the turn of the century, these dates are notoriously inaccurate, an admission readily made by the tax assessor's office itself.) 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 Department, the Fire Department, and the Public Works Department and in the Minutes of 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. The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition For visual aids, there are two Bird's Eye View Maps of Stillwater drawn in 1869, and again in 1879. With their accurate representations of each house and building, these were extremely useful, and we reproduced sections of both maps in the text of this report. 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 incorporated 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 146 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 possibility 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 1st, 2001 and June 1st, 2002 by Donald Empson, the principal investigator and his wife, Kathleen Vadnais. 7 • • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition THE THIRD STREET HILL A small news item appeared in the Stillwater Republican newspaper on November 2, 1869: Closing the Gap "The Third street grade is rapidly approaching completion. The gap between the two sides of the fill is steadily being closed, and a week or two of the kind of weather we have been having during the past few days will enable the workmen to complete the job. Gov. [Mayor] Holcombe promises, however, if the weather does not permit finishing the work, that he will cause a temporary bridge to be made, spanning the gap, for the convenience of the scholars this winter, who reside in the northern portion of the city." The S. Third Street hill between Chestnut and Willard Streets was a massive public works project that included the filling of a major ravine and grading down through the bluff. For most of the 1860's, the city fathers planned and schemed to find the wherewithal to breach the bluff. In 1867, construction began on the new Washington County Courthouse at the top of the hill, and plans were laid for a new Central high school —the largest in Stillwater —kitty corner from the new Courthouse. (Pis from corner of 1870 BEV) Opening a street between the hilltop and downtown became imperative. Previous to 1870, the South Hill, or Nelson's field' as it was then known, was accessible only by the Main Street steps rising to S. Broadway, or by a winding path snaking down a ravine (named Nelson's Hollow) which spilled east into Nelson Street and Nelson's Alley. Unfortunately the men most involved in this development of what we know today as the South Hill were in their graves. 1 Michael Kinsella obituary in the Stillwater Gazette, December 25, 1878. His store at Willard and Fifth Streets was in "what is known as Nelson's Field." 2 The Stillwater Republican, July 21, 1868 3 Emma Glasser, "How Stillwater Came to Be," in Minnesota History 24:195.206 (September, 1943) The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Socrates Nelson was born in Conway, (Franklin County) Massachusetts, January 11, 1814. As a young man, he attended Deerfield Academy before becoming a merchant in Conway. At the age of 25, he wondered west to Illinois prospecting and buying furs. By 1840, he was in the rapidly growing city of St. Louis, Missouri where he took up with his future business partner, Levi Churchill. Four years later, Nelson took a wife: Bertha Bartlett, a widow from Conway who had come to Illinois after the death of her husband. Upon his marriage, in 1844, Nelson took his wife and some mercantile goods upon a steamboat north on the Mississippi River to the northwestern frontier: a St. Croix River landing with a newly erected sawmill. There, at a place called Stillwater, he built himself a house and store near what today would be approximately the intersection of Nelson Street and South Main Street. Socrates Nelson's partner, Levi Churchill, was also a Yankee, born on September 16, 1813 in Woodstock, Windsor County, Vermont. He married Elizabeth Marion Proctor on Oct 2, 1844 in Proctorsville, Vermont. They must have moved to St. Louis shortly after the wedding. In the outpost settlement of Stillwater, Socrates Nelson (Nelson's Warehouse) collected furs, and sold merchandise. The furs were shipped downriver to St. Louis where Levi Churchill sold the furs, and used the money to buy merchandise to ship upriver to Nelson. Socrates also acted as a transfer agent on the Stillwater levee, receiving packages and other goods headed further up river and inland and arranged to ship them to their ultimate destination. But it was obvious to the residents of the frontier Territory that the future lay not in furs and trading, but in land and town sites. As one of the first residents of the location, Socrates and Betsey Nelson, and their St. Louis partners, Levi and Elizabeth Churchill, split the waterfront territory of Stillwater with two other pioneer settlers. Joseph R. Brown took the northern part of the waterfront, between what would be today the site of the old Prison and Brown's Creek. John McKusick bought out his sawmill partners, and claimed the area between the old Prison site and what is today Nelson's Alley. Nelson & Churchill's claim extended one -half mile south of 4 Fifty Years in the Northwest by W.H.C. Folsom, Pioneer Press Company, 1888, Page 59 -59; History of Washington County, North Star Publishing Company, Minneapolis, 1881. Page 590. There seems to be some question about the notion that he was at Nelson's Landing on the Mississippi River. B This information comes from two Internet genealogy sites: LDS Family Search and www.ancestry.com 9 • • The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Nelson's Alley. All three claims extended three- quarters of a mile west from the river. As one local historian put it: `In 1845, a verbal agreement was made with regard to land claims, by which [Joseph R.] Brown's claim was recognized as extending along the lake shore north of Battle Hollow, where the Minnesota state prison now stands. South of Battle Hollow, along the lake shore to Nelson, extending three - fourths of a mile west, was the claim of the mill company, originally held by Fisher. [This claim was purchased by John McKusick.] South of Nelson's alley, one -half mile down the lake, three- fourths of a mile west, was S. Nelson's claim. " This original claim, supplemented by subsequent purchases, made Socrates and Betsey Nelson, and Levi and Elizabeth Churchill, owners of much of what is today known as the South Hill. One of the first purchases Churchill and Nelson made at the new land office when it opened in St. Croix Falls in 1849 was the NE %4 of Section 33, one - hundred and sixty acres between what is today W. Orleans and W. Willard Streets; between S. Holcombe Street and Sixth Avenue S. Churchill was apparently the partner more active in land speculation; in 1845, he was one of several proprietors of the town of Fillmore in Andrew County, Missouri. But land was not the exclusive focus of Churchill & Nelson. Socrates Nelson was involved in a number of commercial ventures in the fledging city of Stillwater. He was the first merchant: trading in furs, hardware, household goods and lumber. He was a developer of Baytown Township, and along with others, built a steam sawmill on the river of what is today Bayport. He was active in public life, serving as territorial auditor from 1853 to 1857, and as a state senator. Of his personal nature, one historian remembered him as "He was of a free and generous disposition in all his relations of life." 9 6 Fifty Years in the Northwest by W.H.C.

Fourth Street Nb West %2 of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson &Slaughter's Addition THE FEVER O n 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. Stillwater began with a sawmill in 1844. Five years later, when Minnesota became a Territory, the population was estimated at 609. 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. By 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." 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 [which] last week sold for $3000 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. " loTheodore C. Blegen. Minnesota A History of the State. U. of Minnesota Press. 1963. Page 159.

Vol. 1, page 362. 12 St. Croix Union, August 6, 1856. 12 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition On another occasion, the editor struck back at any who might doubt the future. "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.1 MORE ADDITIONS A nticipating quick profits in the land, Stillwater entrepreneurs did what others 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. 13 St. Croix Union, December 5, 1856. "S77LL FOREVER Another Addition to Stillwater Additions to Stillwater are all the rage now. Within a few days past, Jacob 1Vlaerty 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 surveyed into town lots. 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 that 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 13 • • • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition unrivaled advantages -that she has much capital -that a Rail - Road is 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. "14 HURRAH FOR STILLWATER" In January of 1857, just as the land speculation was reaching its height, Churchill and Nelson began to act. On January 12, they deeded an undivided one -half of the NE 'A of Section 33 (40 acres) to Robert F. Slaughter of St. Paul for $5,000.00. Slaughter, who was involved in several other Additions in Stillwater, was a consummate real estate salesman; his specialty was selling local lots to out -of -state speculators." The following May, Slaughter sold one -half of his portion to Hilary B. Hancock of the town of Minneapolis. Hancock paid $2,500 for his 20 acres. On June 15, 1857, the four men and their wives: Levi and Elizabeth Churchill, Socrates and Betsey Nelson, Robert and Nancy Slaughter, and Hilary B. Hancock platted Churchill, Nelson, & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater. But their timing was very bad. As late as February, 1857, the future looked bright: "Real Estate and Business in Stillwater The price of land in our city and vicinity has advanced with astonishing rapidity during the last two years, and from present appearances we shall see still greater improvements in the future. 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. 14 St. Croix Union, December 12, 1856. 16 H Deeds 75 18 There is more on Slaughter in this author's book: A History of the Greeley Residential Area. Slaughter may have lived in Stillwater for awhile; there were a couple of liens filed against him for houses he built. 17 H Deeds 422 18 A Plats 129 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Three thousand seven hundred dollars have been recently offered by Mr. Gorgas, the banker, for a lot on Main street, corner of Chestnut -25 -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 $150 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; substantial —and in some instances —fine private dwellings, and every thing promises a season of unprecedented prosperity. "19 The four partners must have had visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. With close to 500 lots for sale in this Addition alone, their future was assured. THE CRASH O n the 24th of August, 1857, the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company of New York failed; 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 times. 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 19 St. Croix Union, February 13, 1857. 15 • • • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition 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... " The Stillwater Democrat, on January 1, 1859, editorialized: "A Happy New Year to our Friends and Patrons. 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 difficult, if not impossible, to collect. In 1857, before the crash, Churchill & Nelson managed to sell only a couple of lots in Block 10. But as the economy collapsed, and the real estate market withered, Nelson, as the partner resident in Stillwater, realized that the sale of his lots would ultimately depend upon better access to the top of the south hill. To prmote his property, Nelson did what many other land developers and speculators did in the nineteenth (and twentieth) centuries: they donated some of their lots for a public development, in this case, they donated a whole block for the building of a new Washington County Courthouse on Pine and S. Third Streets. This was not an act of altruistic generosity on the part of the partners; they knew the building of a Courthouse would make their own lots surrounding the courthouse much more valuable. Not only would the sale of their lots benefit from businesses and workers wishing to live near the Courthouse; the developers would also benefit because the city would finally be forced to provide easy and quick access up the bluff to the courthouse. As Churchill & Nelson anticipated, the building of the new Courthouse served as the impetus for other development. A new, large, and very grand public school, Central School, was constructed kitty- corner from the Courthouse, and across S. Third Street, Father Michael Murphy paid the astronomical sum of $4,000.00 in 1871 for three of the best lots in the city which he used to build the new St. Michael's Church. 20 T.M. Newson. Pen Pictures of St. Paul. Minnesota and Biographical Sketches of Old Settlers. By the Author, St. Paul, 1886. Page 698. The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition With the building of the Courthouse and other institutions nearby, and the opening of the Third Street hill, the lots in Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter's Addition began to sell, houses were built, and the neighborhood began to take shape. But the two men most responsible for these changes were both dead. Levi Churchill had died at the young age of 45 in St. Louis, Missouri on Christmas Eve, 1857. He had left his entire estate to his wife, Elizabeth M. Churchill. Elizabeth, in turn, assigned responsibility for the affairs of the Stillwater partnership to her brother, John Proctor, a well-known Stillwater resident. Socrates Nelson had died on May 6, 1867 at the age of 53. His heirs were his wife, Betsey, and his one surviving daughter, Emma A. Nelson. Socrates left an estate of considerable value. His household goods were appraised at $448.00 including a very expensive $50.00 double - barreled shotgun. (By contrast, his four featherbeds were only valued at $30.00, and a walnut dining table was valued at $3.00). His store inventory was valued at $9770.00. His accounts payable were valued at $13,416.00, giving him total assets in personal property of $23,303.00. In addition to this, his real estate, consisting of lots in Stillwater and Baytown, were appraised at $63,990.00. The total value of his estate was close to $100,000.00, a great deal of money when the average wage was $2.00 a day, and you could buy a modest house for $500.00. His business affairs were to be continued by Betsey and a local businessman and surveyor, Harvey Wilson. The other two partners: Robert Slaughter and Hilary B. Hancock, discouraged no doubt by the panic of 1857, forfeited their claim to the lots and are nowhere to be found. THE FIRST SIX HOUSES; THE 1870 BIRD'S EYE VIEW Tn 1870, when the first Bird's Eye View map of Stillwater was drawn, just before the S. Third Street hill was opened, there were only six houses in this Addition. 21 Will #51, Washington County Probate Court.

D Bonds 34 22 Will #155, Washington County Probate Court 23 There are no recorded documents to explain what happened to Slaughter and Hancock's title to the property. Slaughter, I believe, ended up in St. Peter, Minnesota; I don't know what happened to Hancock. 17 • • • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition The first house built in the Addition seems to be one that stood on the southwest corner of S. Sixth and W. Churchill Streets; today that location is occupied by an 1890's home with the number 902 S. Sixth Street. The first house on this location was built in 1857 -58 by Charles and Mary Wagner who purchased the lot from Elizabeth Churchill in July of 1857 for $250.00. The following year, in May of 1858, they took out a $1,000.00 mortgage from the eccentric and wealthy Englishman, Morgan May for whom the Township is named. Two years later, May foreclosed on the house and property and sold it to Mrs. Mary Jackman. In 1866, Mary bought three additional lots. In 1883, Mary sold the house and four lots to Maria C. Adams. This large house is quite evident on the 1870 Bird's Eye View Map. In May of 1894, a lumberman, John J, Kilty, bought Lots 1 & 2, and presumably built the small Queen Anne house that graces those lots today. 24 The oldest remaining house, sitting high on a hill, which dates from before the Civil War, is at 313 W. Willard Street. Elizabeth Churchill sold Rudolph Lehmicke Lot 3 of Block 6 in April of 1861. He built a modest house on the lot valued at $450 in the 1863 Tax Assessor's records. Lehmicke, who was later to become a Washington County Probate Court Judge, moved out around 1865, and Kate and Thomas Powell moved in and purchased three additional lots from Elizabeth Churchill. By 1871, A.M. Dodd, who was later to become Register of Deeds for Washington County, had purchased the house. Three years later, he purchased two additional lots, 5 & 6, from Elizabeth Churchill thereby owning all of the six lots fronting W. Willard Street between S. Fifth and S. Sixth Streets. In 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War, Elizabeth and William Giossi purchased Lot 10, Block 6 from Elizabeth Churchill. A year and a half later, they purchased the adjoining Lot 11. By 1870, they had built a house, which took the number 718 S. Fifth Street, estimated at $400, on their two lots. William worked in the Staples Mill. In 1879, the Giossi family sold the property to Albert Drews, a Miller. In March of 1868, the Canadian born Herman and Katie Steinhorst purchased Block 6, Lots 7, 8, & 9, from Elizabeth Churchill. Somewhere between 1865 and 1870 (a period for which we have no tax assessor's 24 I Deeds 79; D Mtg 198; P Deeds 262; Q Deeds 428; 10 Deeds 591; 40 Deeds 220 25 N Deeds 286; SAM 78, Roll 4 28 P Deeds 200, Q Deeds 551, R Deeds 481. 27 Z Deeds 211; 1877 -83 Stillwater City Directories; SAM 78, Roll 8 & subsequent 28 R Deeds 453; V Deeds 518; SAM 7, Roll 2; Stillwater City Directory, 1877. 29 8 Deeds 207; Stillwater City Directory, 1881.82. The West One-Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition records), they built a $350 house that later took the number, 712 S. Fifth Street. Herman was a carpenter who built at least one other house in the neighborhood. There were three children in the family: Alfred, Frank and Caroline. Eventually the family moved to Oak Park. Ellen and John Goff purchased Lot 11 in Block 7 in the spring of 1868. When the tax assessors made his rounds in 1870, he placed a value of $200 on the building on the lot —a small house. Four years later, this home at 722 S. Sixth Street, had increased in value to $660, implying a large addition to the original home. John Goff is listed in the Stillwater City Directory of 1882 -83 as a cooper, i.e. barrel maker. They must have liked the neighborhood because they remained in this house for the next quarter century. 30 Elizabeth Churchill deeded over Lot 1, Block 7 to an H. Mahlstrom who in turn built a large $700 house that took the number, 712 S. Sixth Street. Two years later, the assessed value had risen to $1,000. Alas, the house went into foreclosure with Hans Hanson, the mortgagee. By 1882, the house and property had passed into the hands of William E. Cummings, who had a jobbing shop on the corner of S. Third and Oak Streets; his wife was a dressmaker, and their son, Albert, was an apprentice at the St. Croix Drug Company. CHURCHILL STREET HOUSES I n August of 1872, Elizabeth Churchill sold the west one -third of Lots 26, 27, and 28, Block 9, to Frederick Kadel, a wagon maker. Within a year, he had built a house that took the number, 521 W. Churchill Street, valued by the tax assessor at about $350. Ten years later, in April of 1882, Fred sold the property to John George Kern. From his new house, it was a 12 block walk for John Kern to his place of employment below the bluff, the Hersey & Bean Lumber Company. Kern lived in the house for over two decades. In 1922, Albert Peaslee, a plumbing contractor and the owner of the house paid Emil Bieging, a local building contractor, about $100.00 to have a new porch entrance and a new window added to the structure. Two years later, in June of 1924, Peaslee paid another local contractor, Frank Linner, $1400.00 to rearrange the interior rooms of the house as well as other repairs. 32 9° Y Deeds 153; SAM 7, Roll 2; 31 SAM 7, Roll 2; X Deeds 493; 1884 -1887 Stillwater City Directories. 32 X Deeds 71; 10 Deeds 121; SAM 78, Roll 9; 1877, 1882 -3, 1887, 1904 Stillwater City Directories. City of Stillwater Building Permits #1922, #2041 19 • • • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition In the tax assessor's hand written record in 1872, there is a penciled note added that a D. Hannigan is the owner of Lots 21 and 22, Block 8 and notes there is a $200 improvement on the property. This appears to be one of those instances where Churchill and Nelson sold the lots on an unrecorded document similar to a Contract for Deed, because the first recorded sale of the lots takes place in May of 1873 when Elizabeth Churchill sells the property to Henry Diers. Over the next decade, the property is sold three more times, ending up in the possession of John Curtiss in 1883. By 1890, Curtiss, a stone mason, is listed in the City Directory as occupying the house at 514 W. Churchill Street. Elizabeth Churchill sold the east two - thirds of Lots 26, 27, and 28, Block 9, to John M. Nelson in August of 1872. It appears from the tax assessor's records that he quickly built a small house which tripled in value by 1874, and became a good sized house that later took the number, 513 W. Churchill Street. Nelson worked for various employers, including the Isaac Staples and the Hersey Bean lumber companies. Nelson lived here more than 20 years. Churchill & Nelson sold Lots 1 & 2 to Thomas Sutton in May of 1873. Sutton turned around and sold the two lots to Peter Shattuck two months later. Five years later, in September of 1878, Shattuck sold the two lots to Daniel Reardon who, in 1882, built a substantial $700, two story house, 20 feet by 28 feet, which took the house number, 505 W. Churchill Street. In 1891, Reardon, who was a Stillwater policeman, hired the Northey Brothers, local contractors, to do some finish work inside the house. In 1928, Emil Bieging, a local carpenter, made a $1,200 addition to the home. John and Nancy McGrath, natives of New Brunswick, purchased two lots from Elizabeth Churchill in June of 1873 for $250. That same year, they built a substantial house the tax assessor valued at $600.00. In 1876, John died, and Nancy was left in their home at 502 W. Churchill Street with her large Irish family which, in 1880, was listed as: Nancy, age 58; Maggie, 32; Andrew 29; John 26; Nellie, 20; Emma, 16; Katie, 14; and a nephew, Joseph 7. Nancy lived in the house until her death in 1899. 33 SAM 7, Roll 3; Z Deeds 343; 1 Deeds 144; 8 Deeds 37; 12 Deeds 178; 1890.91 Stillwater City Directory. 34 X Deeds 73; SAM 7, Roll 3; SAM 7, Roll 4; 1877 & 1887 Stillwater City Directories 36 X Deeds 346, 350; 1 Deeds 627; City of Stillwater Building Permit #532 & 2235; Stillwater City Directories for 1881 -82, 1887. 36 X Deeds 325; SAM 78, Roll 9; 1880 Census, #222; there is quite a bit more information on this particular house in an article by Brent Peterson in The St. Croix Valley Press, April 11, 1996. The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition In 1874, Walter Herald bought four lots in Block 7 from Elizabeth Churchill: lots 17, 18, 19, & 20. It does not appear that Herald built on these four lots, but in May of 1890, he divided the four lots on an east -west basis. The west one -half of the four lots was sold to Alexander ("Sandy ") McClellan who, in the spring of 1892, built a house on his half of the lots. The home, which took the number, 410 W. Churchill Street, was estimated to have a building cost of $900; its dimensions were listed as 19 front feet, 26 feet in the rear, and 28 feet deep; one and a half stories high. It was to have a 9 -foot by 14 -foot cellar 7 feet deep. The contractor was Eugene Schmidt, who had an office at 412 S. 3rd St. In 1932, another contractor charged about $350 to do a general remodeling of the interior, changing partitions, and putting in new floors. The east half of lots 17, 18, 19, & 20 were sold by Walter Herald to Robert Barter in May of 1890. It appears that Barter built the first house — which took the number, 404 W. Churchill Street — on this property soon after he purchased it. Barter, like his neighbor, McClellan, was a lumberman. After the turn of the century, George Giebler, a butcher who worked in the family meat market on South Main Street, acquired the property. Giebler kept the house for many years. In 1938, he paid Emil Bieging, a local carpenter, $600 to remodel the house into a duplex, including an outside stairway to the second floor. But Giebler was not only a butcher; he was also a developer. He purchased the two lots west of him, lots 21 & 22, and divided them on an east -west line. On the east half of the two lots, he had the home at 416 W. Churchill Street built in November of 1912. The price of the building is listed on the building permit as $2,000.00. The size was to be 28 by 30 feet, 2 stories, with a full 7 -foot deep basement. Three years later, in 1915, Giebler had a second house built almost identical to the first. $2000,00 was the listed cost of this home at 424 W. Churchill Street, but this house was a trifle smaller at 26 by 30 feet. This, however, was not the first house at this address. The first was built about 1870 by Phillip and Eliza McDermott, the parents of Nancy McGrath who lived at 502 W. Churchill Street. McDermott became a prosperous lumberman, and in 1884 built a large attractive house that remains at 1312 37 X Deeds 539; City of Stillwater Building Permit #678, #2369; 1892 Stillwater City Directory 38 X Deeds 539; City of Stillwater Building Permit, #2535. 38 City of Stillwater Building Permit #1516. 21 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Fourth Avenue South. When the original house on these two lots was demolished, I do not know. The home at 421 W. Churchill Street has been changed considerably from its original appearance, but it would seem that at least a part of this house was built about 1872 by Alfred Johnson who is listed in the Stillwater City Directory of 1877 as a member of the river police. In the summer of 1917, local carpenter, Emil Bieging added a $150 porch to the house. 41 The classic Greek Revival house at 322 W. Churchill Street was built in 1871 by Levi Thompson — who does not seem to be a relation of the other Levi E. Thompson in Stillwater, an attorney and land developer. In enumerating progress in the year, the Stillwater Gazette of Nov 14th, 1871, lists "Levi Thompson res. and barn $3000" under "Improvements on Sixth Street." The tax assessor was a little more realistic in listing the value of the house at $1,000.00. This property transaction is another example of how Churchill and Nelson used an intermediate unrecorded deed in selling their properties. Although we know the house was there in 1871, and therefore Thompson must have been in possession of the property, the first recorded deed does not occur until November of 1878 when a Warranty Deed transfers the property from Churchill to Thompson. Levi and his wife, Aurora, were born in Maine; they had two sons, Charles and Ernest, and two daughters, Alice and Iris. In the later part of his life, Thompson was a partner with Asa Pattee in a coal and wood fuel business. For a time in the 1870's, the home at 319 W. Churchill Street had the more logical house number, 619 W. Churchill Street. James B. and Martha Davis, both of whom had come to Minnesota from Maine, built this house in 1872. James worked in the lumber trade, first as a riverman; later for Isaac Staples. The Davis family had three children: Edward, Ford, and Gertrude. Although their home was actually built in 1872, the deed from Elizabeth Churchill to Martha Ann Davis was not recorded until July of 1874. In 1891, a good -sized one - and -a -half story stable was added to the property. Unfortunately I was unable to ascertain an accurate date for the building of 314 W. Churchill Street. Both 322 and 314 W. Churchill were on three lots belonging to Levi Thompson. Because all three lots were in the R Deeds 636; T Deeds 483; SAM 7, Roll 2; City of Stillwater Building Permit, #1619; 1880 Census #212; Empson: History of the Hersey Staples Addition, page 33. 41 SAM 5, Roll 2; Z Deeds 61; City of Stillwater Building Permit #1665. 42 SAM 5, Roll 2; 5 Deeds 45; 1880 Census, #191; 1877 and 1887 Stillwater City Directories. 43 Z Deeds 27; 1880 Census, #197; 1877 & 1887 Stillwater City Directories; SAM 5, Roll 2; ' City of Stillwater Building Permit #606. The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition hands of Thompson until 1908, the assessor did not appraise this house at 314 as a separate parcel. In the 1879 Bird's Eye View Map, it appears there is a small house in this location. It may be that that original small house remains as an addition on the west side of the present two -story house. My best guess would be that at least part of what is today 314 W. Churchill was built in the late 1870's. There are no records pertaining specifically to this house. 310 W. Churchill Street is another house, which I cannot date accurately. It was built, probably as a second house, on the two lots purchased by Howard Packard and the site of his larger home at 824 S. Fifth Street. It is quite a small house of the simple style built in the decade before and after the Civil War. It appears to be on the 1879 Bird's Eye View Map. There are no records pertaining specifically to this house. In 1871, the tax assessor, making his rounds of this neighborhood, placed a value of $350 on the house situated on the three lots (1, 2, 3, Block 11) owned by Hans Hanson. In 1881, Hanson sold his property and the house that took the number, 309 W. Churchill Street, to Fridolin Becker. Becker was a teamster. In the summer of 1911, this house was moved on its two lots to accommodate the building of 904 and 908 S. Fifth Street. In May of 1872, Elizabeth Churchill sold Lot 28, Block 12 to Bridget • Keating, and there is a note in the assessor's records penciled in "Keating's house, $400." Two years later, however, the property was sold to Joseph Olson who lived at 219 W. Churchill Street for more than two decades. But it appears this house was demolished, and around the turn of the century a second house was built in this location. The present house had five feet added to it as well as a porch over the kitchen in 1922, and the following year, there was a massive $5,000.00 remodeling in which the rooms and porches were rearranged. In the post Second World War building boom, 413 W. Churchill Street was built in 1948 and 313 W. Churchill Street was built in 1951 on what appears to have been a vacant lots. 522 W. Churchill Street was built in 1950; and 509 W. Churchill Street was built in 1955 on what also appear to have been vacant lots. 44 SAM 78, Roll 8; R Deeds 116; 1877 & 1884 Stillwater City Directories; City of Stillwater Building Permit #1453.

Emma, the heir and only surviving daughter of Socrates Nelson, married a 28- year -old dapper and promising Stillwater attorney, Fayette Marsh. One of the first orders of business was to build a splendid new house for the family. The house at 516 S. Broadway, which cost around $15,000.00 was a resplendent conglomeration of brackets, bays, porches, all in a more or less fashionable French Second Empire Style. [pix of house] In November of 1880, Emma Nelson Marsh died leaving three children. In her will, we find that the $100,000.00 estate left her by her father some 13 years earlier has been reduced by one - third. Emma's personal assets included bank stock, promissory notes and cash worth $9,131.00. The value of her real estate was reckoned at $57,275.00, which included the value of the S. Broadway house at $13,000.00. From her personal estate, her husband, Fayette, was to receive $3,043.23; each of the three children, Ella N. Marsh, Nelson Orris Marsh, and Faith Marsh, were to receive $2,029.23. Fayette was the administrator of the will, and it was his task to continue managing the real estate interests of the estate. However, there was apparently some difference of opinion over the administration of the real estate between Fayette and his mother -in -law, Betsey Nelson, Socrates' widow. In a five page memorandum between the two heirs of Socrates, which reads, in part, "...certain differences have arisen between [Fayette] and Betsey D. Nelson respecting the rights and interest in...the residue of the estate of Socrates Nelson, deceased which...consists principally in certain real estate situated in the city of Stillwater,.." Fayette agreed to pay her a monthly allowance from the proceeds of the real estate. As an indication of the amounts concerned, there is a note in the will that the rents received from the properties was $4,270.00 between November 23, 1880 and November 1, 1882. But Betsey Nelson was apparently not the only one Fayette Marsh had difficulty with. The beleaguered son -in -law, who had an unfortunate and ultimately fatal addiction to alcohol, was apparently accused of living off, or at least using his wife and mother -in -law's money for his own extravagant purposes. In a letter of justification to his children, accompanying an account book, he wrote: as Will of Emma Nelson Marsh, #535 in Washington County Probate Court. The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition The account which is set forth just above is as you perceive the account from the time we finished building the House [516 S. Broadway] up to the time of your Mother's Death. The history of that period is this. In order to explain the account from 1873 -4 when we finally closed up House building until 1876 Mrs. Nelson continued the business of the Churchill & Nelson Estate. Your mother's [Emma Nelson] property was our half of that estate. And you will find that I have charged to myself all that which I received from him during that period, even when it was delivered directly to your Grand Mother. This lasted until the Fall of 1876 at which time Harvey Wilson [a trustee under Socrates Nelson's will] died. Then for about one year or perhaps a little more Mr. John Proctor, the brother of Mrs. Churchill, who was the owner of the other half of the estate ran the business; and I have charged myself with all of the cash which I obtained from him. There was no other source from which I received any belonging to your Mother during that period, so I charged it all to myself. During that period also - -the fall of 1876 -your Grand Mother [Betsey Nelson] resided with me and I paid the entire expenses of my family and of your Grand Mother except for as far as she purchased clothing or expended money which was drawn from Mr. Wilson which money you will find charged to me in the accounts set forth. But the money turned over to her for her especial use was also credited back to her in the same account so that made it stand in this way: From the time we quit b_ uilding the House up to 1876 I supported your Grand Mother except as to her spending money and some money which she used for the purchase of clothing that she received from Mr. Wilson through me as indicated in the account. This continued to be the case during the administration of the estate by Mr. Proctor which lasted until sometime in 1877. Except that he so miserably managed the affairs of the estate that but little money was received which might be disbursed. You will observe by this account contained in the old Wilson Book, which will be presented for you, that he must have lost most of the rents and indeed made a very lame attempt at running the business of the Estate. It was the actual desire of both parties that the Estate should then be divided: It was done so in a very satisfactory way I believe to both of them. Wow at the division of the estate a certain lot of notes were turned over to me as the agent of your mother; a part of them never were collected; all of those that were collected you will find in the list charged to my account on page 14 of this Book. Three of the notes were not collected and you will find them charged to my account. At the time of the division of the estate there was no property except certain bank stock in the Lumbermans National Bank and in the First National Bank of Stillwater, these certain promissory notes and 47 Previous to 1877, the deeds in Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition were signed by all parties: John Proctor (for Elizabeth Churchill), Betsey Nelson, Emma and Fayette Marsh. When the estate was divided, certain lots were deeded to Churchill, and certain lots were deeded to Nelson's heirs. 25 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition the real estate. The real estate of which I speak was conveyed to her by Deed. You will find these deeds recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds at the Court House. [3 Deeds 116] There were three of these deeds. The deeds that were so recorded described all of the real estate that was conveyed to your mother at that time. I enclose in this book and attach to it maps showing where that real estate was situated. The colored pieces on the maps indicate the estates which were conveyed to your mother at that time. It contained a complete description of all that was conveyed to her; nothing has been omitted. In order to show you that I account for every piece of Real Estate sold I have jotted down upon these maps on each lot the number of the item and the pages where you will find that I have been charged with it. This is so that you may be perfectly convinced that I have accounted for every foot of real estate which was deeded to your mother or of which she was the lawful owner. When I do that and account for the promissory notes received and for the cash received from Mr. Proctor and Mr. Wilson I have absolutely accounted for every dollars worth of property of hers that I ever touched or handled. There was also certain other real estate which was nominally or apparently conveyed to your Mother. The deed of that has never been recorded. The reason for that was this: Before the division of the partnership property there was quite a number of lots conveyed by way of Bond for Deed [similar to our Contract for Deed] and notes given therefore. In many instances the taxes were not paid upon it, therefore the deed of that could not be recorded. These notes given for them are the same notes which I have charged myself twice because they were already sold and a bond given for a deed so that the real estate really was not ours. The bond only giving us a lien or title to the property until the notes were paid. When the notes were paid the property became theirs. Therefore I ought only to charge myself with the notes. [Many of the lots in this addition were not conveyed with a Warranty Deed to the new owners until several years after the owners had built a home on the lot. What Fayette is explaining above is that an intermediate (unrecorded) instrument much like our Contract for Deed was used to convey the property until a later Warranty Deed was issued by Churchill or Nelson] If you are not satisfied upon this point show this paragraph to any real estate Lawyer or any competent Lawyer and he will tell you that I am stating just what the legal rights of the case are and that I should so charge myself just as I have done and in no other way. And you will discuss by the examination of this account and the books of Harvey Wilson and the maps which are attached to this Book and the deeds which are upon record at the Court House recorded in the year 1877, about the month of May, that I have accounted for every note and every dollar in money that I ever received of your mother's and every piece of real estate that I ever sold of hers up to and 26 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition including the year 1880, the account closing on the 23rd day of November 1880, the day your mother died." "Let me state the proposition broadly to you that from the time that I married your mother in 1871 to the 23rd day of November, 1880, I furnished the entire support of my family without the use of a Dollar of your mother's money. That such money of hers as I did receive was expended as you see by the account for her benefit and in the protection of her property and in the building of valuable Buildings upon her estate. When I came to take charge of the Estate and the division was made there was only one building upon the property save and except our Homestead. There was no property that would pay an income as you perceive except this building known as the old Willard Building which was standing at the time that I write this explanation. That was rented for five hundred Dollars per year. The taxes on the property, it being all outlying lots, was above Twelve Hundred Dollars per year. You can see that instead of being a help to us it was a positive nuisance and burden. Yet notwithstanding this truth all of those years I necessarily had to bear the humiliation and reproach of the current belief in society, reiterated upon every possible opportunity by the friends of Mrs. Nelson that I was being supported out of the property belonging to your mother. Your mother understood it correctly and used every possible endeavor she could to correct such a misapprehension and in all respects in reference to it behaved toward me like a noble woman which she was. In her there was no fault either in reference to that or anything else. This will close up the account to 1880 at the time of her death. The next two years the account was filed with the Probate Court. It consisted in the collection of various notes which we had at that time and in the .sale of some certain real estate. I will indicate upon the map what the Real Estate was. The account will only be the account just as I filed it in the Probate Court at that time and nothing more. From that time forward I will continue the account so as to show that I have accounted for every piece of property, money or any other thing had or owned by your mother. As I have above stated I found the property was outlying and producing no income in my judgement and I now believe it was the best business judgement in order to secure an income for my wife and children in case of my death and I thought that this outlying property ought to be sold and converted into money and buildings built upon that portion of the estate lying upon Main Street in the city of Stillwater where it would bring a good rent. As you see by the accounts I have accomplished for that purpose the buildings are built: and if you notice the larger rents with which my account has been charged since that date you will perceive that it was a good business judgement. 27 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition This property will be turned over to you in your due proportions when you arrive at Lawful age, and upon my Death by the terms of my will. You will inherit every Dollars worth of it, every dollars worth of property of which your mother died possessed together with much other property and life insurance which I shall be able to confer upon you. I do this with only the desire of accounting to you for all of your mother's estate. I shall neither permit my wife [he had remarried] or anyone else to inherit a dollars worth of the property that belonged to your mother. After the close of the account which I shall add and which is filed in the Probate Court I will go on with the receipts and disbursements from that date until the present, and from time to time while I live I shall keep up this account. And I say here, that in case I shall live, after I complete one more building up on that property I shall feel that I have made sacrifices enough in the labor I have bestowed upon it and shall feel at liberty to use the income in excess for what I have done with the money. "48 FOURTH STREET HOUSES T he history of the house at 704 S. Fourth Street begins with the Stillwater Gazette of November 14, 1871. Under a listing of improvements on Fourth Street for the year, there is a note: A. Caplazie $500. Albert Caplazi bought Lots 1 & 2, Block 5 from Elizabeth Churchill in 1871 on a Bond for Deed (similar to our Contract for Deed), followed by a Warranty Deed in 1872. Albert Caplazi built a house on the southwest corner of Fourth and Willard and at one time had a dairy of about 15 cows, until the herd law went into effect about 1885 when the cows were not allowed to run at large, many in the neighborhood came and got their milk fresh at milking time, morning and evening. When the herd law went into effect, Caplazi opened a grocery store on the corner at 702 S. Fourth Street while living next door at 706 S. Fourth Street. Caplazi and his wife, Chetien, had emigrated from Switzerland. They had, in 1880, three children: Paul, 12; Rosa, 10; Ottelie, 4. 48 This document, along with other information on Churchill and Nelson, is from the grandson of Nelson Orris Marsh (who was a son of Emma & Fayette Marsh), Richard Huseth, 11007 Spicewood Parkway, Austin, TX 78750. Richard was extremely helpful in gathering information on Churchill and Nelson. 49 Paul Caplazi, unpublished manuscript, 1944, in the Stillwater Public Library. 28 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition In the summer of 1941, a new residence was constructed on these two lots by local contractor, George Olson. The cost was estimated at $6,000.00; the owner was Mrs. Ethel Gower.s° Henry Desteffany purchased Lot 5, Block 5 in November of 1874, and it appears that his one and a half story house, 20 x 26 feet, at 716 S. Fourth was built soon afterwards. Henry worked as a clerk for a local lumber company. In 1888, local contractors, the Northey Brothers, constructed a large $700 addition that matched the size of the original house. In 1878, Morris and Bridget Quinlan, who owned Lots 6 & 7, Block 5, on what today we would call a Contract for Deed, built a home which took the number, 720 S. Fourth Street. Quinlan went to obtain a Warranty Deed to the lots from Emma and Fayette Marsh in August of 1880. In 1932, the interior of the house was extensively remodeled with new floors, new stairs, and new doors. From the tax assessor's records, it appears 724 S. Fourth Street was built in 1878 when the value of Lots 6 & 7 was put at $750. The lots, however, were in Fayette Marsh's name indicating that whoever built the house had a Contract for Deed (unrecorded) interest in the property rather than possessing a Warranty Deed. No other information is available.s New Brunswick natives, John and Elizabeth Mealey, built their house at 802 S. Fourth Street on Lot 8, Block 5 in 1871 when it was listed among a number of improvements in Nelson's Field. According to a building permit, this original house was one - story, 24 -feet by 24 -feet, with a 16 x 20 foot ell. It had a 10 x 16 foot cellar. In 1886, William May, a local carpenter, added a porch and bay window after moving the house eight feet west on the lot. The following year, another carpenter, Michael Carroll, constructed a $210 18 x 20 foot addition to the house to be used as a kitchen. John Mealey was a Stillwater policeman, and he and his family lived in the home until 1903.b In 1878, According to the yearly tax assessor's records, a F. Scwartz built a $500 house that today has the number, 806 S. Fourth Street.

In April of 1883, Joseph and Wilhelmina Link purchased the house and property. He was a bartender when the couple took up residence there in the early 1880's. For a time, the house had the number, 730 S. Fourth Street. James Barry, who worked as a watchman for the Hersey, Bean & Brown Mill on South Main Street had the home at 810 S. Fourth Street built in 1878. He bought the lots in 1876 and 1879. In 1871, The Stillwater Gazette combed the city for any improvements that could be used to brag up the progress of Stillwater. In the November 14th issue, under the heading "Nelson's Field," there is a listing for `P. Goodman, res. 24 x 26, $400." This is a reference to the building of the residence at 816 S. Fourth Street. Phillip Goodman was a lumberman, and he lived in the home for over a quarter century. In the early days of house . numbers, this home had the number: 740 S. Fourth Street.b The lot 820 S. Fourth Street is situated on was carved out of Lots 13 and 14. I was unable to deduce any information about the building of this house. The brick commercial building 826 S. Fourth Street appears to have been built in the 1920's, but there does not seem to be any building permit. That location was the site of an earlier grocery store in the 1880's operated by Edward and Philomena Lemoine, and later, James Walsh. They had built a house there in 1875. Dennis J. Hooley, a butcher by trade, built his first grocery store and meat market in 1886 at 902 S. Fourth Street. His first store was one story high, 20 feet wide, and 36 feet deep. It did not have a foundation or basement. The price of construction was $275. On the adjacent lot, he built a 14 x 21 foot stable — probably to house his delivery wagon. The builder was Edward Olson. Dennis lived next door at 906 S. Fourth Street It wasn't until 1890 that he actually purchased Lots 1 and 2 of Block 12. In 1901, Dennis had local carpenter, Alfred Zoller (who lived at 809 Sixth Street S.) build him a new building that was two stories high, 30 feet wide by 51 feet deep. The building has a peaked roof, stone foundation, sheet iron ceiling, 66 SAM 7, Roll 7; 1882.83 & 1884 Stillwater City Directories; 12 Deeds 44. 88 Z Deeds 572; 5 Deeds 420; 1877 -1883 d 8 Deeds 3; SAM 78, Roll 9; SAM 7, Roll 4; 1877 -1884 Stillwater City Directories. 88 A Liens 123; I Deeds 25; 1877 -1894 Stillwater City Directories. The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition and cost $1200. In 1943, local contractor, George W. Olsen made a number of improvements to the interior of the store. In October of 1881 and June of 1882, Charles Nordstrom bought Lots 5 & 6, Block 12, and soon afterwards built a large dwelling at 916 S. Fourth Street. Nordstrom is listed in the 1887 Stillwater City Directory as a laborer. Michael Carroll, a carpenter, built the home at 924 S. Fourth Street about 1874 shortly after he bought Lot 8, Block 12 from Churchill & Nelson. Michael was born in New Brunswick about 1843; his wife, Mary, was born in Maine about 1850. By 1880, they had three children: James, age 6, Miles, age 2, and John, about 8 months old. In 1886, the Carroll's sold their house to Maurice Clancy, and moved down to South Main Street. In 1890, Clancey added Lot 7 to the property. 61 In 1873, Edward and Philomene Lemoine built a small home at what would later take the number, 1006 S. Fourth Street He was a Canadian born carpenter, the father of seven children: Alice, Clara, Felix, Philuda ?, Fred, Clothide, and Mary. For a time in the early 1880's, the Lemoines ran a grocery store out of their house. As far as I could tell, the Lemoines never did have a deed for their property, and in 1882, it passed to Mary Ann McCallom. About 1884, George Muller, the boat manufacturer, had a large house built at 1010 S. Fourth Street on two lots he had purchased from Churchill & Nelson in May of 1873. Unfortunately, that house was destroyed by fire, and in December of 1888, Muller took out a building permit to rebuild the house to the same dimensions, which were two stories, 22 feet by 28 feet deep. The cost of the house was put at $1,800, a substantial sum for the time. In 1931, Emil Bieging performed a substantial remodeling of the kitchen. In April of 1872, Hersey, Bean & Brown, a lumber company on Stillwater's south Main Street filed a lien on Lots 13 & 14, Block 12, against Edward and Ann Elliot "for erecting a dwelling house."

From this lien, we can date the first house on these lots, a house which today has the number, 1022 S. Fourth Street The tax assessor's records for 1873 assign a value of $300 to the structure on the lots. Edward Elliot was born in Ireland about 1830; his wife, Ann, was born in New Brunswick about 1837. They had eight children living with them: William J., 22; Mattie, 18, Edward, 15; Allan, 12; Katie, 10; Annie, 8; Nora, 5; and George,. 2. The house, it appears, also had the numbers 1022 W. Hancock, and 506 W. Hancock. Around 1897, the property was sold to the Malloy family (Did they build a new house ?) After the Second World War, in a period of expansion for the city of Stillwater, several new houses were built on lots that had previously contained an older house. 710 S. Fourth Street, built in 1966, had previously been the site of the home of Henry and Dominica Desteffany which they had built in the 1870's. 912 S. Fourth Street was built in 1946 on what had previously been a vacant lot. FIFTH STREET HOUSES Mwo years after the Giossi family built their home at 718 S. Fifth Street, Dietrich J. and Margaret Muhlenbruch purchased the adjacent lots: 12, 13, & 14 from Elizabeth Churchill. Within that same year, a house, valued by the tax assessor at $500, had been constructed on the lots. Muhlenbruch, who later changed his name to the much more generic, John D. Millbrook was a stone mason. When house numbers were assigned, this home became 804 S. Fifth Street. The Millbrooks lived in the home through the 1890's. Elizabeth Churchill sold Lot 26, Block 5, to Patrick and Bridget Collins in May of 1872. The following year, the assessor noted a house valued at $175 on the property. Patrick was born in Ireland; Bridget in Canada; their three children: William, John, and Eddie, were born in the United States. Patrick was trained as a stone mason, but he eventually became the Assistant Health Officer of the City of Stillwater. The Collins family lived in their house at 715 S. Fifth Street for more than 30 years before Patrick's death in 1907. 84 T Deeds 419; X Deeds 192; Z Deeds 147; City of Stillwater Building Permits #1988, #2051, #2078; 1880 Census #158; 1877.1883 Stillwater City Directories. 66 There was this odd practice in the 19th Century of switching a man's first two names around. Thus William D. Evans will suddenly become David W. Evans. This can be very confusing. If foreign names are involved, it is even more confusing. 66 X Deeds 352; SAM 5, Roll 2; Stillwater City Directories, 1881 -1894. 67 X Deeds 370; SAM 78, Roll 9; 1877, 1881 -2, 1894 Stillwater City Directories; 1880 Census, #178 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition The contractor, August Kutz, and his carpenter sons, Charles, Herman, and Rinehold built 713 S. Fifth Street in the spring of 1888. The homeowner was Robert Schneider, a machinist, who had purchased the property from Sarah Withrow in April of 1883. The building permit lists the cost of the house at $600.00, and gives its size as 18 -feet by 26 -feet, one -and- a -half stories. Three years after building the house, Schneider took out a mortgage from the Stillwater Fire Department Relief Association. It is difficult to date the home at 708 S. Fifth Street because it is not, in the land or tax assessor records, separated out from the house at 313 W. Willard. From the value of the combined lots, I would guess this house was built in the early 1870's. The property was owned for many years by A.M. Dodd who lived on Willard. A German born widow, Johanna Morgan, age 43, purchased Lot 21, Block 5 in 1874, and a year later, she also bought Lot 22. A penciled note in the yearly assessor's record notes the lots are "with house," and indicates the building's value at $640, a substantial house for the time. But Johanna needed a larger house, for the 1880 Census tells us that she had seven children living with her. Georgia, 28, and Fredericka, 26, were dressmakers. John, 21, and Silas, 25, were tinners. In addition, there were the other children, Josephine, 24, Charles, 14, and Ella, age 12. The first number of this house was 727 S. Fifth Street which ignored the existence of the east - west Abbott Street. The house number was later changed to 807 S. Fifth Street. The tax assessor's records indicate the home at 817 S. Fifth Street was built about 1884, probably as a part of the Goodman family who lived behind this house at 816 S. Fourth Street. John H. Johnson purchased Lots 16 & 17, Block 5, from Hans Hanson on September 3, 1879. It appears Hanson had built a house that later took the number 823 S. Fifth Street on the lots around 1873. Johnson was a sawyer for the East Side Lumber Company. In 1889, Sven Berglund, a well - known local contractor, added a 16 -foot by 16 -foot $150.00 one -story kitchen to the house. 88 City of Stillwater Building Permit #281; 10 Deeds 630; 11 Mtgs 127. 89 Z Deeds 8, 229; SAM 7, Roll 4; 1877, 1881 -82.83 Stillwater City Directories 1880 Census, #176 70 SAM 78, Roll 14; 10 Deeds 164. 71 5 Deeds 207; 0 Mtgs 91; SAM 78, Roll 9; City of Stillwater Building Permit #329; 1877 & 1881 Stillwater City Directories. 33 • The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition In a burst of civic boosterism, the Stillwater Gazette of November 14th, 1871, listed all the improvements within the city for the past year. Under the list of improvements for Fifth Street, there is a notation: "H. Packard, res. and barn." Howard and Deborah Packard, both of them Maine born, received the warranty deed from Elizabeth Churchill to their lots 18 & 19, Block 6, in January of 1877, six years after they built their substantial home at 824 S. Fifth Street. Packard was a guard at the state prison north of downtown Stillwater. The 1880 Census lists the Packards, both in their 50's, living with William & Caroline Whiting, and their two adolescent children. This house has, in the rear, what appears to be another house tacked on to the main structure. This rear structure appears to be a typical small house of the Civil War period with its center door and symmetrical windows in front. Perhaps it was the first house on the property. Charles Glaser, a grocer in the neighborhood, had the home at 904 S. Fifth Street built in the summer of 1911. The building permit specifies the cost at $2,200.00, and the dimensions as 28 -feet by 30 -feet, two stories high. The basement was to be full size and 7Y2 feet deep. In order to build this newer house, he had to move an older house at 309 W. Churchill Street to another place on the lots. Next door, at 908 S. Fifth Street, Charles Glaser built a second house in the winter of 1911, this one to cost $1,800.00 with dimensions of 26 -feet by 30 -feet, two - stories high. Both of Glaser's houses were built on speculation; that is, to sell to a third party. Fred Pankonin and his wife, Teresa, both Prussian born, built their house at 909 S. Fifth Street about 1881. The purchased the north %2 of Lot 25 and all of Lot 26, Block 12, from Elizabeth Churchill in June of 1881, and in August of that same year, they took out a mortgage from the Stillwater Building Assocation. Fred worked as a mill hand; they had two daughters: Lizzie and Anna. Henry Roettger bought Lot 4, Block 11, from Elizabeth Churchill in August of 1874. He built a house on his lot that took the number, 912 S. Fifth Street, valued at $600.00 by the tax assessor. Two years later, he sold his lot to Jacob Bean, a wealthy mill proprietor. The following year, Bean bought the adjacent Lot 5 from Elizabeth Churchill. 72 1877, 1881.82, 1884 Stillwater City Directories; Z Deeds 440; 1880 Census, #173 73 City of Stillwater Building Permit #1462 74 City of Stillwater Building Permit #1444 76 8 Deeds 295; P Mtgs 488; 1880 Census #165; SAM 5, Roll 6; 1887 Stillwater City Directory. 76 SAM 7, Roll 4; Z Deeds 389, 432; I Deeds 302; 1877 Stillwater City Directory. 34 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition The Maine born Rufus E. Goff and his Minnesota born wife, Josephine had the dwelling at 913 S. Fifth Street built about 1880. Goff purchased Lot 24 from Emma Marsh in the summer of 1879. In 1888, a local carpenter, R. W. Phelps, made a 1 -112 story, 14 x 20 foot bedroom addition to the original 1-1/2 story 14 x 20 foot building. Before adding the addition, Phelps also moved the original house 16 feet west on the lot. In 1910, Goff had another 12 x 12 one -story addition constructed by Frank Linneroth. Rufus was listed in the 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory as a lumberman. Emma Marsh sold the Danish born Peter Jackson and his wife, Celia, lots 6 & 7 in Block 11 in November of 1879. But by the time he received his Warranty Deed, he had already been living in his house at 920 S. Fifth Street for two years. But Jackson was not one to stay. In August of' 1880, the property was sold to Mary H. Allen, who, in 1886, had a 20 -foot by 8 -foot kitchen added to the house by Ely B. Woodard —who is listed in the 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory as a barber! In March of 1889, Allen sold the property to Anna Tobisch, a midwife. Edward and Catharine McFarlane had the house at 921 S. Fifth Street built in the early 1880's. The Irish born Morris and Mary Quinlan and their son, John, were the first residents of 1002 S. Fifth Street, which they had built in 1877. Two years later, they received their Warranty Deed from Emma Marsh. Morris was listed as a gardener; considering the location of their house at this time, I would guess this to mean he raised produce — probably to sell in the city. But perhaps the house was not as rural as he wished, for in 1881, he sold the land to Robert Carter, who in turn sold it to William Brigan. Louis Avery built a large home at 1003 S. Fifth Street about 1882. The following year, he received his Warranty Deed from Elizabeth Churchill. James Avery is listed as the resident of the house in the Stillwater City Directories. 1008 S. Fifth Street is reported to have been built in 1906. No further information seems to be available. 77 5 Deeds 449; City of Stillwater Building Permit #369, #1404; SAM 5, Roll 6; 1880 Census #168 ?8 SAM 7, Roll 6; 5 Deeds 270; 5 Deeds 549; 28 Deeds 235; City of Stillwater Building Permit #62; 1880 Census, # 166. 79 21 Deeds 334; 1884 & 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory. 80 SAM 7, Roll 6; 1880 Census, #166; 1881 -82 Stillwater City Directory; 5 Deeds 146; 8 Deeds 101; 12 Deeds 2. 81 7 Deeds 184; SAM 5, Roll 6; 1884 & 1887 Stillwater City Directories. 35 • The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Marcel Gagnon appears to be living in 1016 S. Fifth Street as early as 1877, three years after he purchased Lots 12, 13, & 14, Block 11. He is listed as a florist and a gardener, and apparently he had a greenhouse either on this property or close by. Born in Canada, he was, at least in 1880, a single man of 53 living with the Edward Bell and George Gerard families. But some disaster must have occurred around 1894 because Marcel moved to Tacoma, Washington, and a new $1,000.00 home was built on Lot 12 by Michael Carroll, a Stillwater carpenter on behalf of Eugene Savage, a janitor at Central High School who is listed as living at 1008 S. Fifth Street. Given the occasional mistakes on the old records, it might be possible that the building permit for Lot 12 (1016 S. Fifth Street) is really the building permit for Lot 11 (1008 S. Fifth Street), which would explain why there is no information on 1008 S. Fifth Street. Lot 14, Block 11 was one of the three lots purchased by Marcel Gagnon in 1874 at which time the assessor's records indicate a considerable $600 improvement on it. Who actually lived in the house which took the number 1020 S. Fifth Street is uncertain although Gagnon continued to be the recorded owner of the property until he sold it to John Hines in October of 1883. Hines was listed as a laborer. After the Second World War, in a time of expansion for Stillwater, there were several houses built on S. Fifth Street. 805 S. Fifth Street was built in 1947, replacing the earlier home of the Swiss -born Henry Hefty, a butcher with a local grocery store. Two newer houses were built at 808 S. Fifth Street and 811 Fifth Street in 1948 replacing at least one earlier home there that had, for a time, the house number 733 S. Fifth Street. It was the house of the Prussian -born Hohlt Gotlieb, a teamster. 812 and 816 S. Fifth Street, two new houses built in 1965 replaced the old Edward and Ellen Yorks house which had been built about 1872. 1013 S. Fifth Street was built in 1956 on what appears to have been an empty lot. An older home was moved from this Lots 15 and 16, Block 12 in 1899 which allowed the construction of 1019 S. Fifth Street in 1948. In 1980, 801 S. Fifth Street was constructed on what had been a vacant lot. 82 1877, 1890 -91, 1894 Stillwater City Directories; 1880 Census, #164; City of Stillwater Building Permit #818 83 12 Deeds 475; SAM 7, Roll 4; 1877 & 1881 -82 Stillwater City Directories. 84 1877 -1887 Stillwater City Directories; 5 Deeds 376; 1880 Census, #177 85 1881 -1894 Stillwater City Directories; 5 Deeds 405; 1880 Census #175 88 I Deeds 370; SAM 7, Roll 3; X Deeds 628; 1887 Stillwater City Directory. 87 City of Stillwater Building Permit #974 36 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition SIXTH STREET HOUSES A young man by the improbable name of Elephalet Goff, and his wife, Mary, were the first residents of 715 S. Sixth Street. He was born in 1849 in Illinois; she was born in 1851 in Indiana. They had two children, Bertha and Fred. They bought Lot 31, Block 6 in her name in September of 1878, and a year later, they bought a second lot, 32, in his name. It appears they had this home built in 1878. Elephalet worked in the lumber business. The home at 719 S. Sixth Street was built in 1879, possibly by Samuel Packard, a bridge tender. The assessed valuation was approximately $390. It was a simple one and one -half story house, four rooms, with a partial basement, and, an elegant touch for workingman's house, a bay on the north side. In July of 1882, Packard sold the property to Edward J. and Emma Davis. (He was also known as James E. Davis.) In 1892, under new owners, John and Jessie Sinclair, a 14 -foot by 18 -foot ell was added on the south side, and the interior woodwork updated. By 1903, the house had passed into the possession of Mrs. Zona Doyle, a teacher at the Central School. It appears the house at 720 S. Sixth Street was built about 1874 by Daniel McQuillan who owned a saloon and billiards hall on Main Street in downtown Stillwater. In the first Stillwater City Directory published in 1877, McQuillan is listed as living on Sixth, south of Goodwood (Willard). This is apparently another case of using unrecorded documents on a piece of property in this Addition, for the first official record of the property is a deed from Elizabeth Churchill to James Fowler, Jr. in July of 1881. Fowler, a young man of 24, his wife, Eliza, and their year -old son, Sanford were natives of New York State. Although he listed his occupation as chemist, Fowler had taken an entrepreneurial bent in Stillwater opening a furniture store on N. Main Street in downtown Stillwater. Business must have not been good, for he soon sold their house to Ange Christianson, who in turn, sold it to Joseph Eichten, who, in his turn, sold it to John Pretzel in 1890. Pretzel was a cooper (barrel maker) who worked for the Joseph Wolf brewery. The German -born Jacob Laun, and his Ohio wife, Annie, built a small home at 723 S. Sixth Street about 1877. Laun is listed in the Stillwater 88 12 Deeds 238, 239; SAM 7, Roll 7; 1877 -1887 Stillwater City Directories; 1880 Census #185. 89 5 Deeds 527; 10 Deeds 299; 31 Deeds 612; 56 Deeds 532; City of Stillwater Building Permit #659; SAM 7, Roll 8; Stillwater City Directories. 9° 8 Deeds 316, 365, 368; 7 Deeds 103; 31 Deeds 120; 1880 Census, #192; SAM 7, Roll 4; 1877, • 1881 -82, 1890-91 Stillwater City Directories. • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition City Directory of 1884 as a peddler. Perhaps it was a hazardous occupation: in 1880, Jacob was 34 years old; ten years later, his wife is listed as a widow. John Henry Lohmann, Jr, and his wife, Augusta Lohmann purchased Lot 12, Block 7 from from Elizabeth Churchill in Sept. 1882. The built a modest $500 home which took the number, 802 S. Sixth Street. Lohmann briefly ran a saloon on the S. Main Street. 92 In July of 1876, Tobias Ambuhl purchased Lot 27, Block 6, from Elizabeth Churchill. He immediately set out to have a house built at 805 S. Sixth Street with much of the labor done by his neighbors. Herman Steinhorst, a carpenter who lived at 712 S. Fifth Street, did much of the basic construction. John Millbrook, a mason living at 804 S. Fifth Street, did the lath and plaster and the chimney for the house. We know this today because both of these workmen filed liens against the house: Steinhorst for $65.00; Millbrook for $133.55. Ambuhl, a mill hand for Hersey, Bean & Brown , sold the house to Alexander Bradley two years later. There was an earlier house on Lots 25 and 26, Block 6 in the location of today's 809 S. Sixth Street. However it appears that the present house at this address is a later house built near the turn of the century. In 1872, Churchill sold the two lots to Frederick Bennecke who apparently built a house on the lots. They were subsequently sold to Henry C. & Mattie Pierce, a guard at the prison. In 1884, the Pierces sold to Joseph & Rosina Remmele. Shenanda E. Bradley, a 42 year -old woman from New York State purchased Lot 14 from Elizabeth Churchill in April of 1872. The tax assessor making his rounds that year made a pencil notation: S. E. Bradley, lot =$60, house =$300, a notation marking the construction of 810 S. Sixth Street. Two years later, E. B. Bradley purchased Lot 13 from Churchill. The 1877 Stillwater City Directory lists an A. B. Bradley, teamster, living on 6th N. of Churchill. But the 1880 Census lists Shenanda Bradley as living with the family of John Starkwhether, a carpenter, his wife, Mary, and their three children. Two years later, the Stillwater City Directory lists a Mrs. E. B. Bradley as residing at 732 S. Sixth Street, which was the original house number for this house. By 1887, the Stillwater City Directory lists Mrs. E. 91 SAM 7, Roll 6; 1880 Census #187; 1877, 1884, 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directories; 5 Deeds 599; 28 Deeds 54. 92 SAM 78, Roll 12; 7 Deeds 139; 1884 Stillwater City Directory. 93 Z Deeds 388; 5 Deeds 41; A Liens 146, 147; SAM 7, Roll 6; 1877, 1881 -82 Stillwater City Directories. 94 SAM 7, Roll 3; X Deeds 207; Z Deeds 213; 10 Deeds 15; 12 Deeds 437; 1880 Census #190; 1882 -1884 Stillwater City Directories. The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition B. Bradley living at 810 S. Sixth Street. Without a fair amount of additional research, it is impossible to know if Shenanda E. Bradley was in fact, the wife of E. B. Bradley. The records are confused and conflicting regarding the house at 813 S. Sixth Street, and I cannot reach any conclusions. 814 S. Sixth Street was built in the summer of 1872. We know that because Julius Lippert, a cook, who bought the property that same summer, had a lien filed against him by Phillip Mueller. Mueller claimed Lippert owed him $118.75 because he worked "...1st and last days of July 1872...making, constructing, altering & repairing a certain dwelling house..." It seems Lippert had given :Mueller $50.00 in cash and a promissory note (unpaid) for the remainder of his bill. Two years later, Lippert sold the property to a Swiss butcher. John Neideren, and his Prussian born wife, Annie, who lived there with their five children: Edward, John, Ulrich, another son, Rosa, and a sister -in -law. Lippert meanwhile moved the house behind, 813 S. Seventh Street. 902 S. Sixth Street is small Queen Anne house built on the site of an earlier house. Stillwater City Building Permit #1592 gives us the information that 908 S. Sixth Street was built in the spring of 1915. The owner of the property who had the house built was J. Ernest Blanke who lived — and continued to live — in the neighborhood at 1017 S. Seventh Street. The permit lists the cost of the house at $1,500.00, and the dimensions of the building as 26 feet by 32 feet, one -and -a half stories. 911 S. Sixth Street was, according to Stillwater City Building Permit #2209, built in the spring of 1928 by the owner of the property, Herman Millarch, a painter. According to the building permit, the cost was to be $570.01! The dimensions were 20 feet by 22 feet deep with ten -foot studs, giving a maximum height of 18 feet. The house was to have a fireproof slate roof, and the ground floors were to be of oak. Why was the price so low: there is a note on the permit that Herman will "build it my self." This Greek Revival house at 916 S. Sixth Street was built in 1872 when the tax assessor, making his yearly rounds, made a note about a new house "back of Jackman." The value of the house was set at $500, meaning it 96 T Deeds 725; Z Deeds 241; 1880 Census, #194. 96 X Deeds 77; A Liens 91; SAM 7, Roll 3; 1880 Census #195; 1887, 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directories. 39 • The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition was a substantial house. Elizabeth G. and Harvey Ferguson bought Lot 5, Block 10 from Churchill in November, 1872, and Lot 6, Block 10 in December, 1874. Both Harvey and Elizabeth were natives of New Brunswick, following the lumber trade west. Harvey was a river pilot. They had two children: Maggie and Harvey, Jr. August Arndt bought Lots 22 and 23, Block 11, in October of 1880. He built a modest house soon afterwards which took the number 919 S. Sixth Street. August and his wife, Augusta, were born in Prussia. They had three boys: John, Clement, and Paul. August was a shoemaker. William Zorn purchased Lots 7 and 8, Block 10 from Frasier Ferguson in March of 1882. Zorn soon after built a small house on his lots which took the number, 922 S. Sixth Street. Mrs. Melvina Fox, a midwife, had the home at 923 S. Sixth Street built about. 1882, although she did actually receive a deed to the property until March of 1883. The 1880 Census, # 201, lists the following household which included Melvina: Melvina Fox, 48, b. Kentucky, living with: Thomas Malone, 29, son, and Mary his wife, 25, and Henry, son, and his wife, Nora, 19, and Matilda, her daughter and Mary Sunberg, 19, daughter; James Sunberg, 17, son, Sarah Sunberg, 15, daughter; Ida Sunberg, 12, a daughter, and grandchildren: Henry, Thomas, Melvina, Robert, James, Ida, Edward, Henry, and Ann. In the same house were also: David Sinclair, 25; wife Sarah, 19, and their one child, Amy, aged one month.'°° Josiah Millet, who was born about 1836 in Maine, appears to have been a man of many talents. He is listed in various places as a bookkeeper, an explorer, and a Master of the Boom. Whatever his many talents, we know that he and his wife, Clara, and their six children were the first residents of 1004 S. Sixth Street which they had built in 1875. Many years later, in 1932, local carpenter, Emil Bieging, was hired to make repairs after fire damage. 101 In July of 1922, Robert Schmoeckel applied for City of Stillwater building permit #1901 to have contractor, Henry J. Mohr, build him a house at 1007 S. Sixth Street. The cost was to be $3,000.00. It was to be a two- 97 SAM 7, Roll 3; X Deeds 191; Z Deeds 606; 1880 Census, #199; 1877, 1881 -82, 1887 Stillwater City Directories. 98 5 Deeds 613; 1882 -1887 Stillwater City Directories; 1880 Census, #200. 99 SAM 78, Roll 14; 12 Deeds 266; 1884 -1887 Stillwater City Directory. ioo 4 Deeds 591. ioi SAM 7, Roll 5; 5 Deeds 442; 1877 Stillwater City Directory; 1880 Census #206; City of Stillwater Building Permit #2356.

Olive Street. James and Henrietta Webster purchased Lot 11, Block 10 in August 1902. Although there don't seem to be any records remaining, it appears they built 1010 S. Sixth Street soon afterwards. James is listed in the Stillwater City Directory as a painter. It appears Albert Schmoeckel had the house at 1015 S. Sixth Street built about 1883 when he took out a mortgage on the property. Albert and his wife, Augusta, were both born in Prussia; they had four children: Albert, Minnie, Robert and Emma. Albert was a stone mason.lo The house at 1020 S. Sixth Street was built about 1878 when Emma Marsh deeded Lot 14, Block 10 to Joseph Arndt in January 1878. Arndt worked as a butcher for a local grocer. When Thomas and Kate Ratican built their home in May of 1882 at 1021 S. Sixth Street, he did not pay the St. Croix Lumber Company the $101.74 worth of lumber they furnished him — at least not until the lumber company Med a lien against his property. Four years later he took out a City of Stillwater building permit to replace his old porch, and make $75.00 worth of improvements. To do the work, he hired Michael Carroll, carpenter living on S. Main Street who had done other construction in the neighborhood. Ratican was a lumberman from eastern Canada following the lumber trade as it moved west. The Raticans had four children.'° In 1990, a new home was built at 1016 S. Sixth Street on a lot which was once the site of an earlier home. In 1961, a newer house was constructed at 1002 S. Sixth Street on what appears to be a previously vacant lot. REMINISCENCES Tn his reminiscence of Stillwater in the 1880' and `90's, Albert Caplazi wrote in 1944: "Other early residents of Stillwater were Levi Thompson who lived on the northeast corner of Churchill and 6th Streets.

Holcombe], Jim Doyne [516 W. Hancock] and others. Churchill between 4th and 5th was called Caton's Hill after Mr. Caton who lived on the south east corner of Churchill and 5th [219 W. Churchill]. Early residents of 5th south of Churchill were Rufus Goff [913 S. 5th St.], Quinlan [ 1002 S. 5th St.], Gagnon the green houseman [ 1016 S. 5th St.], Pankonin [909 S. 5th St.] and others. Lumber and labor was cheap in the `70's & '80's it is said. Conrad Drechsler who operated the Casino Saloon on the north east corner of Chestnut and Union built a fine large residence on the northwest corner of Willard and 5th in the late seventies for $2,200. Herman Steinhorst was the builder. [Steinhorst also built 805 S. 6th St.] A. M. Dodd lived on the south west corner of Willard and 5th at that time Charles Lustig lived there later. [313 W. Willard]. Many families kept a cow or two in the seventies and early eighties. There was lots of free pasture, from Hancock St. south to Oak Park and Highway 212 and west to Lily Lake was nearly all woods. There was no herd law, cows could run at large. They would be turned out in the morning and come home in the evening to be milked. About that time in the late seventies City Clerk E. A. Hopkins built the fourth house south of Willard Street on the west side of 4th and while he lived there his cow gave birth to four calves all alive all white with red ears and nose. They were pretty calves, but Mr. Hopkins was an The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition inexperienced cow man, gave the calves too much rope. They got tangled up in the ropes and hung themselves. Mr. Hopkins later built the middle house on the west side of 1st between Hancock and Burlington Streets and lived there. At that time Elliots on the northwest corner [1022 S. 4th St.] and Day's on the northeast corner of 4th and Hancock streets were the last houses on 4th street. The road ran from there diagonally to the race track [Athletic Field today/ and on down through the woods to Oak Park. From Hancock St. south to Fairview Cemetery and from 4th street west to Holcombe St. was forty acres of woods, which was cleared, broken and sowed to grain in the late seventies....11 was called Marsh's Field. Mrs. Marsh was Betsey Nelson [actually it was Emma Nelson], the daughter of Socrates nelson who owned much of the land in that vicinity....At that time in the evening you could hear the Whipporwill and other night birds which are not heard any more. The South Hill from Willard to Hancock was called Nelson's field after Socrates nelson who owned the land in 1872 Albert Caplazi built a house on the southwest corner of Fourth and Willard [704/706 S. 4th St.] and at one time had a dairy of about 15 cows, until the herd law went into effect about 1885 when the cows were not allowed to run at large, many in the neighborhood came and got their milk fresh at milking time, morning and evening. Other early residents of South 4th St. were DeStaffeni [710 S. 4th St], where Joe Giossi lives now. City clerk E. A. Hopkins, Mealy [802 S. 4th St.], Crimmins, Barry [810 S. 4th St.], Goodman [816 S. 4th St.], Le Moine [826 S. 4th St.], Elliot [1022 S. 4th St.], Sinclair [719 S. 4th St], Barrow [Barron, 801 S. 4th St.], Kilty [807 S. 4th St.], Ward White, Crowley [921 S. 4th St.], McGee, Sutherland [1009 S. 4th St.], Day, Carroll [924 S. 4th St.] and others. The early residents on 5th were Dodd [313 W. Willard], Steinhorst [712 S. 5th St.], Giossi [718 S. Fifth St.], Millbrook [804 S. 5th St.], Yorks [house gone], Packard [824 S. 5th St.], Morgan [807 S. 5th St.], Rensch [805 S. 5th St.], Collins [715 S. 5 St.], Hardyman, Kinsella, and others. Mike Kinsella had a store on Willard. 43 The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Oct 10, 1875, a fine October Sunday about noon there was made a wing shot that don't happen very often, a large flock of geese were flying North, they were high, so high they appeared about the size of a two months old chick. A Mr. Roettger lived in the third house from the southwest corner of Churchill and 5th [912 S. 5th St.]. He shot at those geese twice from his door step, when they got half way between Churchill and Willard over 5th a goose turned and headed south, she held there a moment and then she began to tumble over and over she went and struck a fence and broke the top one by six inch fence board edgewise back of where Hooley's meat market is now, corner of 4th & Churchill. It was surprising the size of that goose, they looked so small in the air. She was dark colored and weighed about ten pounds. It was quite a sight to see that goose come tumbling down from such a height. The Irish Church [St. Michael's] had just let out so it attracted a large crown. Mr. Roettger later moved to a farm in Wisconsin between Houlton and Somerset. A terrible thing happened between the Irish Church and Hooley's butcher shop on Sunday about noon late in November in the late eighties. Mr. Ratican living on the northeast corner of 6th & Hancock [1021 S. 6th St.] bought a team of horses for the woods. They were large, young and frisky. They were being led to water. George Ratican about 12 year old, was leading one of the horses. He had learned from some one who worked at the boom to make a hitch which they used to tie logs together. He made a hitch around his wrist. There was a water fountain in the triangle at 4th, Willard and Locust but the water was shut off for the winter, so they had to go down on 3rd at the head of Chestnut on the way back just as they got in front of St. Michael's Church the bell struck 12 o'clock — church out, the horse bolted and started to run the boy couldn't hold him and he couldn't let go as he was hitched to the end of the halter rope. The horse turned on Locust down 4th running away with the boy dangling at the end of the halter rope when the horse turned on Churchill the boy's brains were spattered on the sidewalk and the side of Hooley's Meat Market on the S.W. corner of 4th and Churchill." In 1885, another principal in the Churchill & Nelson business died. Betsey Nelson, the wife of Socrates, died on October 8th. She left her estate totaling $5921.64 to be divided among her three grandchildren.'° loft Will of Betsey D. Nelson, #854 Washington County Probate Office 44 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition SEVENTH STREET HOUSES here is a note in the tax assessor's records for 1875: "Carl Zanke paying" indicating that, although there were no recorded deeds, apparently Zanke was paying the taxes on the property. From the assessor's records in 1880, it appears he built a small house, which eventually took the number, 702 S. Seventh Street. In March of 1887, Churchill finally gave him a deed to the property, and in June of 1889, he sold the house and property to Henry Hefty. Zanke does not appear in the Stillwater City directories and I have no further information on him. The history of 702 and 706 S. Seventh Street are combined because both are a part of Lots 1 & 2, Block 8. The early records only seem to record one house on the two lots, but it is difficult to say- for sure. In June of 1889, Carl Zanke (who owned all of both lots) sold them to Henry Hefty. In 1899, Hefty sold the south part of the lots to Theodore Erlitz, and in 1900, Hefty sold the north part of the lots to John Luchsinger. 715 S. Seventh and 719 S. Seventh Streets have a confusing history. 715 is on Lots 32 and 33, Block 7; 719 is on Lots 30 and 31, Block 7. From the records, we know that in 1872, Lizzie and Henry Rheiner had an unrecorded contract of some kind for all four lots, and there was a $300 house on the property. I would assume that house eventually took either the number 715 or 719 S. Seventh Street, but I have no way of knowing which was the first house on the four lot parcel. In 1879, Lizzie and Henry actually received the deed from Churchill to the four lots. The Rheiners then sold the four lots to a man by the name of August Domke. The next record we have is a building permit taken out by Julius Sierberlich for an addition to a house on Lots 32 and 33 (715 S. Seventh). That was in 1888, and the permit is for a kitchen addition to an existing house that 20 by 28 feet, one — and -a -half stories high. The home at 720 S. Seventh Street was built in 1877 by natives of Maine, Annie and Michael McLean. He worked for a time at the Hersey, Bean & Brown lumber mill below the bluff on S. Main Street. The original house was quite small with an assessed valuation of around $200. George F. Allen sold Lot 11, and the N. 10 feet of Lot 12, Block 8, to George and Amy McNally in November of 1874, and it appears they built the home at 722 S. Seventh Street on the lots soon afterwards. Both George 106 SAM 7, Roll 3; 5 Deeds 88; 8 Deeds 236; City of Stillwater Building Permit #326. 107 SAM 7, Roll 6; 8 Deeds 269; 1877 & 1890 Stillwater City Directories; 1880 Census #231. 45 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition and Amy were natives of New Brunswick, and at one point in time, they had three boarders in their residence, all of them also from New Brunswick. He was born in 1830; she was born in 1831. By 1890, George was dead, and Amy was living in the house as a widow.'° August Weideman, a laborer, bought Lot 29 from Frank Domke in 1883. At some time either before or after his purchase, he built his home at 725 S. Seventh Street. George Allen bought the lots where 726 S. Seventh Street stands today from Churchill & Nelson in 1873. It appears he built this house there in 1878. Allen is listed as a laborer in the Stillwater City Directories, and he lived at this address for at least the first twenty years."° A handwritten note on the 1871 assessor's entry for Lots 27 and 28, Block 7 reads "Domke's house" and it assigns a value of $200 to the building which today has the number, 731 S. Seventh Street. August Domke was a mill hand at the Hersey Bean Mill on S. Main Street. William or Wilhelm Stack, a stone mason, purchased Lot 25 & 26, Block 7 from Churchill & Nelson in August of 1872, and he quickly built a house there which today has the number, 811 S. Seventh Street. The assessor put the value of this first house at $300. The first resident of 812 S. Seventh Street was Thomas and Mary Collopy, natives of Ireland. They received their deed from Churchill in Nov. of 1871 about the same time they built their home. Within a short time, Thomas seems to have died or disappeared, and Mary was left to raise their three children, Ella, Thomas and John, by herself. The home at 817 S. Seventh Street was apparently built about 1875 by Heinrich Wagner, a laborer. By 1882, the property had passed to Frederick Webber, a mason and plasterer. At one time this had the number 743 S. Seventh Street. Dennis Keyes, a carpenter, purchased Lots 17 & 18, Block 8, from Churchill in June of 1871.

Today that building has the number, 818 S. Seventh Street. Thomas Levi was the apparent builder of the house at 911 S. Seventh Street. Although his purchase of the property is not recorded until 1876, it appears he built this house in 1874. Seven years later, he sold the property to John Sheehan, a laborer who lived there for several years. It appears this house once had the number 909 S. Seventh Street. In March of 1884, Joseph and Annie Arndt bought Lots 24 and 25, Block 10 from Elizabeth Churchill. In 1886, the tax assessor added a value of $600 to the two lots indicating a house which took the number, 913 S. Seventh Street bad been built. Joseph was a native of Canada; Annie was from Prussia. The couple had six children: Mary, 17; Frank, 14; John, 13; daughter, 9; Albert, 4; Lilly 2. The 1887 Stillwater City Directory lists him living at this address; his occupation is listed as cooper (barrel maker). August and Henrietta Batke (or Bardkey) were natives of Prussia. In 1885, they bought Lot 5, Block 9, and about 1891, built a small house there which took the number, 916 S. Seventh Street. They had five children: Emil, William, Amelia, Emma, Edna. August is listed as a laborer in the City Directory. In 1876, local magnate, Isaac Staples, filed a lien of $43.25 for "building materials" against the property of Margaret Warner who lived at what is today the site of 918 S. Seventh Street. This lien would seem to indicate that at least the beginnings of what is today 918 S. Seventh Street had taken place in 1876. The 1881 Stillwater City Directory lists: Warner, Mrs. M. [resides] 7th bet. Churchill & Hancock. Emil Zorn purchased Lots 22 and 23, Block 10 from Churchill & Nelson in August of 1873. The tax assessor's records indicate he must have built a small house which took the number, 921 S. Seventh Street, on his lots soon thereafter. In March of 1876, he sold the property to John & Anna Warmann. John is listed in the 1877 Stillwater City Directory as working for Isaac Staples and living on 7th S. of Churchill. The property, which is the site of 922 S. Seventh Street was bought and sold 7 times between 1872 and 1886. Finally in September of 1886, 115 SAM 5, Roll 2; 1877 & 1887 Stillwater City Directories; T Deeds 480. 116 7 Deeds 236; 1880 Census #208; SAM 5, Roll 8; 117 19 Deeds 44; A Liens 176. 47 • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Bertha and Emil Keitzmann bought the property and the house and stayed there. He was a carpenter. (See also 924 S. Seventh Street) 923 S. Seventh Street was built in 1877 by Michael and Wilhelmina Zorn, both immigrants from Prussia. Michael was born in 1815; his wife was five years younger. He worked as a mill hand at the Hersey, Bean & Brown mill on S. Main Street until he retired in the 1880's. His son, William, and his wife, Emma, and their granddaughter, Ida, as well as his son, Herman, lived with them in the house. Bertha and Emil Keitzmann appear to have been the first residents of 924 S. Seventh Street; at least they are listed as the residents in the 1890- 91 Stillwater City Directory. They purchased three lots, 7,8, & 9 in September of 1886. At some point, those three lots were divided among two houses. The present house with the number 924 S. Seventh Street was built about 1920. It either replaced Keitzmann's earlier house, or Keitzmann's earlier house took the later number 922 S. Seventh Street when the present 924 S. Seventh was built in 1920. However, in checking the Stillwater City Directories, I find that the Keitzmanns lived at 924 S. Seventh from 1919 to 1928. John Sprich purchased Lots 10 and 11, Block 9 in 1881 at which time it appears a small home, 1006 S. Seventh Street, was built on the lot. The 1890 -91 Stillwater city directory lists, Adolph Sprich, a carpenter, as living at this address. In 1924, local carpenter, Frank Linner, constructed a $700 addition to the house. Gustav and Amelia Tollas, both born in Prussia, purchased Lots 18 and 19, Block 10, from Elizabeth Churchill in September of 1890. It appears he built his house at 1009 S. Seventh Street very soon afterwards for he is listed as living there in the 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory. The couple had seven children: Augusta, Laura, Frederick, George, Charles, Nina, and Amelia. Gustav worked as a plasterer. The family had lived in the neighborhood previously at 833 S. Seventh Street. 1013 S. Seventh Street is listed in the Washington County Assessor's office as being built in 1912. 119 19 Deeds 161; 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory. 119 10 Deeds 156; SAM 7, Roll 6; 1877 & 1887 Stillwater City Directories; 1880 Census #216. 120 X Deeds 164; 10 Deeds 593; 19 Deeds 161; City of Stillwater Building Permit #2704. 121 1 Deeds 472; 8 Deeds 167; 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory; City of Stillwater building Permit #2035. 122 31 Deeds 218; 1880 Census #217. The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition 1014 S. Seventh Street is listed in the Washington County Assessor's Office as being built in 1920. In May of 1895, Ernest and Christian Blanke had William Hall build them a $750 house which took the number, 1017 S. Seventh Street. In March of 1919, 24 years later, J. E. Blanke too out a building permit to construct a 20 x 22 foot barn on his Lot 15. The barn was to be "built complete of old lumber from a building torn down." It is not clear, but possibly this barn was built from the remains of the 1895 house, for in July of 1921, Blanke took out another building permit to construct a 22 x 28 1 -1/2 story dwelling on the adjacent Lot 16. The cost of the building, which remains today, is listed on the permit as being $2500. The history of the dwelling at 1018 S. Seventh Street is confusing and uncertain. About the only fact that is certain is that by 1890, Herman Zorn was the owner and resident of the house. After the Second World War, in a time of expansion for Stillwater, 714 S. Seventh Street was built in 1949 on what appears to have a vacant lot. 815 S. Seventh Street was built in 1975. HANCOCK STREET HOUSES X 20 W. Hancock and 516 W. Hancock Street were built in 1964. For whatever reasons, there have never been many houses fronting on the north side of W. Hancock Street HOLCOMBE STREET HOUSES ccording to Judy & Tyler Smith who were kind enough to call me, their home at 611 S. Holcombe Street was moved to this location around 1964 when they were building Highway 280 in the midway district of S t. Paul/Minneapolis. It appears that the home at 615 S. Holcombe Street was built about 1880 by Luella Tuttle. The Tuttle family owned quite a bit of property in this area of the city. 123 City of Stillwater Building Permits #853, #1709, #1837; Stillwater City Directory for 1898. 124 The 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directory; 30 Deeds 37. 49 701 S. Holcombe and 913 S. Holcombe Street were built after the • Second World War; the former in 1955 and the latter in 1948. • The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Almeda Tuttle purchased Lots 24 -28, Block 8 in 1880, and it appears, built a house around the turn of the century which today has the number, 705 S. Holcombe. The Tuttle family lived at 601 W. Abbott, but owned considerable property in the neighborhood. August Loeber, a Prussian immigrant, and his wife, Otelia built the home at 917 S. Holcombe Street about 1874. Loeber worked as a clerk for one of the lumber companies. They lived in the house for more than two decades. William and Catherine Huser purchased Lots 20 & 21, Block 9 from Albert Zinke in April of 1874. About that time he built the house that remains at 921 S. Holcombe Street. Huser is listed in the Stillwater City Directory for 1877 as a teamster. Ten years later, only his wife is listed as living at this address. Alexander Albert Garbe bought Lot 19 from Churchill & Nelson in September of 1872, and, according to the tax assessor's records, he built his dwelling which today has the number, 1001 S. Holcombe Street, soon afterwards. Two years later, he bought the second lot, #20, of the two lots which make up this property. Garbe and his family lived in this residence for more than two decades. WILLARD STREET HOUSES T he story of 215 and 219 W. Willard Street is unclear. In the December 13, 1870 Stillwater Gazette, there is a citywide list of improvements meant to bolster the image of the city. Under residences, there is a note: "M. Kinsella, foundation for residence $1000 ". The following year, in the November 14, 1871 Stillwater Gazette, there is an additional note: Fourth Street, M. Kinsella, $500. Michael and Bridget Kinsella were building on Lots 28, 29, and 30, Block 5 which would be on the south side of Willard, between S. Fourth and S. Fifth Streets. On these three lots, the Kinsella's had both a house and a store, which may—or may not —have occupied the same building. The 1877 Stillwater City Directory lists: "Kinsella, Michael, grocer, cor. 5th & Goodwood, res. Same." [Goodwood was the first name of Willard Street.] In December of 1878, Michael Kinsella died 126 4 Deeds 319. 126 Z Deeds 36; 1880 Census #239; Stillwater City Directories 1877 & 1884; SAM 7, Roll 4. 127 SAM 7, Roll 4; X Deeds 565, 566. 128 SAM 7, Roll 3; X Deeds 105, 593; 1877 & 1884 Stillwater City Directories. 50 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition in his store and his obituary was in the Stillwater Gazette, December 25, 1878. His store at Willard and Fifth Streets was in "what is known as Nelson's Field." In 1878, the assessed valuation of the three lots, including any buildings on them, was $ 1800, indicating either one very large house, or two modest structures. The 1879 Bird's Eye View Map indicates two buildings on the lots. The question then becomes what is the relationship between these early buildings, and the houses at 215 and 219 W. Willard that, are there today. In June of 1902, a building permit for a $700 house to be built on Lot 30 was issued by the city. The owner (but not the occupant) was J. Ernest Blanke who lived at 1017 S. Seventh Street. The builder was E. Hall of Lindstrom. The building was to be 22 front feet and 30 feet deep, one- and -a- haif story. While today, 219 W. Willard is a story and a half house, the present owner tells me that it had originally been a two story house. Thus neither residence really fits the description in the building permit, but then sometimes the building permits had the wrong lot numbers on them. It is appealing —at least to us historians —to think that perhaps some part of Kinsella's store, the first in the area, built 132 years ago, remains in either 215 or 219 W. Willard Street. But unless some new evidence comes to light, we will probably never know for sure. 305 W. Willard Street was built in 1957. Frank Schwartz, a mill laborer, had local builder, William Bieging, build him a dwelling, 18 x 26 feet, 1 -1/2 story, with a cost of $450 in April of 1887. This house took the number, 409 W. Willard Street. There was an older 1870's house just to the east with the number 401 W. Willard which is not gone. It appears there was a small house at 415 W. Willard Street as early as 1877. The 1877 Stillwater City Directory lists: "Henry & Hannah Gabbert, lab, res. Goodwood, e. 7th". The 1881 -82 Stillwater City Directory lists: "Theodore Reynolds, coachman, E. L. Hersey, r. Willard bet. 6th & 7th ". By 1887, there is a third resident of the house: "Anton Wesestra, lab, res. 415 W. Willard". In May of 1885, Churchill sold the lots on which 421 W. Willard Street stood, to Theodore Plaster. However the first Stillwater City Directory in 1877 already lists Theodore Plaster, blacksmith, residing at the corner of 7th and Willard. 129 City of Stillwater Building Permit #194. 51 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition Peter J. Shattuck, a riverman, purchased Lots 3 and 4, Block 8 from Patrick O'Connell in September of 1882. According to the tax assessor's yearly record, he built a house valued at over $500 that same year; a house which today has the number, 511 W. Willard Street. Shattuck sold the property in 1892. John Hogan, a lumberman who worked at the Boom, bought his lots from Elizabeth Churchill in August of 1881. He must have built a small house soon afterwards which took the number, 515 W. Willard Street. Hogan is listed as a resident at that address in the 1884 and 1890 -91 Stillwater City Directories. Ludwig Joseph Mueller built the home at 521 W. Willard Street about 1891. He is listed in the Stillwater City Directory as a laborer. THE FINAL CHAPTER B y 1900, most of the real estate left by Levi Churchill and Socrates Nelson had been sold. In September of 1901, Fayette Marsh died at the age of 57. His obituary testifies to the tragic figure Fayette had become. "The sad fact has for years been impressed upon the minds of our citizens that the once brilliant lawyer, Fayette Marsh, bound by a seemingly uncontrollable passion to habits of dissipation was moving in the pace that kills. All the efforts of his better nature and the kindly influence of relatives and friends were of no avail. At times it .seemed as if the great curse of his life was to be lifted, and he became himself. But not for long. The demon of drink clutched him again in its deadly grasp, and he went steadily downward. His speedy decline, the loss of the respect and confidence among friends who had hoped in vain for his deliverance from the cruel bonds which led him captive on the downward road, these are too well known to most of our readers. Last Tuesday afternoon, while in a weak and dazed condition, he stumbled and fell down a flight of stairs in the Mower block and was found insensible a few moments later. He was taken to the city hospital and after an examination by the physicians his case was pronounced a very serious one. He lingered, however, in a semiconscious condition, until last evening at 8:30, 130 8 Deeds 364; 10 Deeds 427; 35 Deeds 536; 1884 and 1887 Stillwater City Directories. 131 Deeds 345 • 132 7 Deeds 169; 19 Deeds 254; City of Stillwater Building Permit (woodshed) #868; SAM 7, Roll 19. 133 Stillwater Gazette, September 14, 1901. The West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition when death closed the career of one who in life was respected and beloved by all, and whose memory will be kindly cherished by hundreds who will only remember his many noble and unselfish acts of kindness, forgetting else in the charity which covers all the shortcomings and imperfections of this brief, transitory existence here." Fayette's will left one -third of his estate to each of his three children with Emma Nelson Marsh. He left one -half his law library to his second child, Fayette Marsh, . Jr., age 13, by his second wife, Kate Greeley. The personal assets of Fayette totaled $218.00; his real estate, heavily mortgaged with back taxes, was valued at $333.00. Socrates Nelson's legacy, worth $100,000.00 in 1867, had been reduced to less than $1,000.00, two generations later, despite a ten -fold increase in the price of Stillwater real estate. On May 11, 1908, Elizabeth Churchill, aged 83, died at her home at 5108 S. Broadway in St. Louis, Missouri. She had no children. Her estate consisted of Block 29 on Main Street in the original plat of Stillwater, which was valued at $5,500.00; some lots in Churchill's Second Addition valued at $950.00, and $773.00 in cash. Her house was left to her sisters; a brother, Barron Proctor, age 74; and two nephews: Levi Proctor, age 52, and William White, age 60, were her sole heirs. 194 Will of Fayette Marsh, #2297 Washington County Probate Office. 188 Will of Elizabeth M. Churchill, #3039 Washington County Probate Office 53 • T he following is a listing of the houses in the neighborhood by the 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 building 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) building date found in the Assessor's Office when listing the home for sale. Before 1900, these (in parenthesis) dates in the Assessor's Office are generally inaccurate, and only meant to serve as a general guideline. Date 1863 (1875) 1870 (1872) 1870? (1870) 1870?

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. The first address is the home address; a second address (when given) would be the address of their work place. These Directories are not always complete, and they have their share of misinformation. Despite the mistakes, however, I think this is a good indication of who lived in the neighborhood and what they did for a living. Res, means generally the home owner; Bds. means a boarder, often an adult child of the home owner. Churchill W Churchill Churchill W • Churchill W Churchill W. Churchill W. Churchill W. Churchill W.

The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition � CONTEXTS • T here were two contexts appropriate to this survey. The first context was the statewide historic context: St. Croix Valley Triangle Lumbering (1843 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 West One - Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater in 1894; the vast majority were employed in some way in the lumber industry. All of the largest homes in the neighborhood were built with lumber money; so were many of the smaller ones. Many of the residents of this area had worked in the lumber industry in New Brunswick; they followed the lumber trade east. When the timber in the St. Croix Valley grew scarce, many followed the industry to northern Minnesota, and from there to the Pacific Northwest. The second context, which comes from the Stillwater historic context study (Vogel 1993) was: Development of Residential Neighborhoods in Stillwater, 1850's- 1940's. This neighborhood was developed largely in the 1870's after the Third Street hill was opened to give access to these lots above the business district of Stillwater. The vast majority of the houses in the area are old; there is relatively little infill of the newer houses built after the Second World War. 78 The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition RECOMMENDATIONS he following are my recommendations for the West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater 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 the West One -Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition to Stillwater Additions 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. HISTORIC DESIGNATION Tn 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 ascribed 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. The City of Stillwater should initiate its own historic designation for houses throughout the city that are a significant part of Stiliwater's history. EDUCATION ON REMODELING OLDER HOMES The city —or some local organization -- should make some efforts to 1 provide information to the 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 79 • • The West One Half of Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter's Addition 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 HOUSES very year, a few more old homes 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 new 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 sympathetic 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. 80 I04 West.

Ascension Episcopal Church, applicant. Mr. explained PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW FORM CASE NO. SUP /V/02 -26 Planning Commission Date: May 13, 2002 Project Location: 1306 Third Street South Comprehensive Plan District: Two Family Residential Zoning District: RB Applicants Name: Tim and Anita Kornwolf Type of Application: Special Use Permit and a Variance Project Description: The request is a special use permit for a bed and breakfast and variance to distance separation requirements for bed and breakfast uses. Discussion: The request is to convert an existing single family residence into a four room bed and breakfast. As indicated in the application, the proposed use does not meet the separation requirement of 900 feet for bed and breakfasts. The Heirloom Inn is located 555 feet from the proposed bed and breakfast site. The City received a similar request for the residence in 1993 when the owner at that time was trying to sell the house. This application was reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission and approved as meeting the criteria of a bed and breakfast. The Heritage Preservation Commission does not review variances. In conclusion, the house is an excellent example of an historic Stillwater residence, however, it does not meet the separation requirements for bed and breakfasts. The reason for the requirement is to limit the commercial impact of bed and breakfasts on residential neighborhoods. Recommendation: Denial. Findings: Another Bed and Breakfast is located within three blocks (900 feet) from another Bed and Breakfast. Attachments: Application package Conditions of Approval Case No. SUP /V/93 -39 • • • 1.

I own and live in what is known as the Albert Lammers House. The house is listed on the registers of the State and National Registers of Historic Places. I have restored every inch of this Historical property inside and out including the grounds to its original splendor. Last year my wife Anita and I listed our home for sale in May of 2001 until the end of February 2002 without selling it. In order to maintain and own the large property we must look for alternate income. Our desire is to operate a portion of the property as a Bed & Breakfast. I amply meet all the requirements in ordinance #768 of the city code. The home has six original bedrooms of which I propose to use a maximum of four bedrooms for the Bed & Breakfast. All four bedrooms have private full baths. The finished square feet of the house is 5300 sq. ft. The lot size is 132' x 134' totaling 17,688 square feet. A diagram of the property site is attached. The • property is totally fenced and gated with iron fence of the period. The driveway and parking is entirely cement and 2163 square feet. It is capable of parking, off street, six cars each being able to independently enter and exit without moving other vehicles. We have already been inspected and approved by the Washington County Department of Health and Environment of which I have attached a copy of the letter of approval. The property is monitored with a fire- temperature and intrusion systems monitored by ADT Security Systems. I am applying for a variance in the present 900 foot distance clause in ordinance #768, 31.01, Subdivision 25 (F) #3 for the following reasons. I am 555 feet away from an existing Bed & Breakfast called the Heirloom Inn. This is a small property which is only operating on a very limited basis at best. Not the way they are meant to be run but rather mainly renting to a repeat single roomer. They are depriving me of operating a Bed & Breakfast. I feel my property considering its historical importance and our business and communication skills of over 40 years will be an asset to the City of Stillwater and its Tourism and business community. I can and will meet every other requirement required. Res fully sub d, Tim and Anita Kornwolf 1306 3" Street South • Stillwater, MN 55082.651- 351 -7100 Stillwater, Queen City on the St. Croix Albert Lammers was the giant of Stillwater's 19th Century lumber barons. The Lammers House, built in 1893, was the most extravagantly designed of Stillwater's Queen Anne residence. It's cruciform plan and pronounced gables lock it onto a prominent site well away from the heart of the city. Within the balanced ordering of each facade lurks an opulence of form and exotic detail. The walls undulate from bay to bay and a elegantly carved seashell balcony curves out from the main gable. The entry portico sports pendants as well as the obligatory carved tympanum and two towers thrust up from either side of the front. The roof is decorated with a cresting derived from norse dragon lodges. For all it's exoticism, the design also expresses the resurgent classicism in American architecture. The wrap - around veranda dispenses with bric -a -brac and offers instead a blank parapet wall and finely turned paired classical columns. The sumptuous interior finish plays with a variety of classical motifs.

At this time there are no corrections that need to be done in order to have the home be a bed & breakfast with five or fewer bedrooms with the capacity to serve ten or fewer guests. If there are going to be more than five bedrooms, the kitchen equipment and room finishes would need to be changed so they comply with the Washington County Food Code Ordinance. As we discussed, the swimming pool would not be allowed to be used for guests unless it meets the construction requirements of the Washington County Public Pool Ordinance. This would be allowed for the private use of the operator of the bed & breakfast only. If the home is to be turned into a bed & breakfast, approval from the City of Stillwater must be obtained. Once the City has given approval, a license application and fee will need to be submitted to this department prior to operation as a bed & breakfast. If changes are made to the home, they must be pre- approved by this department before it can be a bed & breakfast.

Wolff (1944 -1996) Lyle J. Eckberg Of Counsel •Qualified Neutral Arbitrator *Certified Real Estate Specialist +Qualified Neutral Mediator This letter is submitted in support and in clarification of issues relating to the Application of Tim and Anita Kornwolf for a variance from Section 31 -1, subd. 24 (6) (c) of the Stillwater City Code which creates a separation requirement between Bed and Breakfasts of "at least 900 feet apart (approximately 3 blocks)." We understand that the City Council is judicious in granting of variances and obviously could reasonably ask whether granting a variance in this instance would require the Council to grant additional variances in the future. Actually the City's Ordinances on the subject, as well as the governing law, clearly provide that the granting of a variance in this instance constitutes no precedent for subsequent applicants. I. The Stillwater City Code and the law of the State of Minnesota prevents claims that a variance sets a precedent for other variances. The portions of the Stillwater City Code which deal with variances are contained at Code Section 31.86, subd. 2. Significantly 31.86 subd (2)(f) provides as follows: "Precedence. A previous variance must not be considered to have set a precedent for granting further variances. Each case must be considered only on its merits." • • Thus, apart from the unique factual circumstances which distinguish this application, the City's Ordinance simply prohibits anyone from attempting to argue that their application should be approved because The Lammers House permit was approved. Furthermore, this principle in Stillwater's own Ordinance is consistent with the common law view that, "in general, precedents are not binding relative to grant of exceptions or variances. Each case is to be determined on its own merits." McQuillins Municipal Corporations, Section 25.173. that, In fact, this authority cites law of the State of Minnesota in support of the further rule "Not only is it true that the grant, but it is also the rule that the denial of a variance in one case is not a binding precedent as to a variance in another case." McQuillins Municipal Corporations, Sect. 25.173, citing Metro 500 Incorporated v. City of Brooklyn Park. 211 N.W.2d 358 (Minn. S.Ct.,1973). Accordingly, both the express terms of the Stillwater City Ordinance and the common law rule, accepted by Minnesota courts, establishes that neither the grant nor denial of a variance constitutes a precedent for future applications. What matters is whether the application in front of the Council at any given time has merit. ® II. The City Council can find that the proposed variance does satisfy the conditions set forth in the Stillwater City Code for granting of variances. Section 31.86, subd. (2) (D) provides that, "A variance may be granted only when all of the following conditions are found: 1. A hardship peculiar to the property not created by any act of the owner exists. Personal, family or financial difficulties, loss of prospective profits and neighboring violations are not hardships justifying a variance. 2. A variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights and if granted would not constitute a special privilege not enjoyed by neighbors. 3. The authorizing of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and will not materially impair the purpose and intent of this section or the public interest or adversely affect the comprehensive plan." 2 • • A. The City Council can find that a hardship has been shown because The Lammers House proposal is a reasonable use which is otherwise prohibited by the Ordinance. Minnesota Courts hold that the hardship standard is satisfied when the landowner would like to put the land to a "reasonable use" but that the proposed reasonable use is prohibited under the strict provisions of the code. Sagstetter v. City of St. Paul, 529 N.W.2d 488, 492 (Minn.App.1995). Minnesota courts expressly reject the notion that a variance cannot be granted unless the landowner shows that they could not put the land to any reasonable use under an ordinance. Id. The proposal to use four rooms of The Lammers House for a Bed and Breakfast is a reasonable one. The house is precisely the sort of historic home, which the bed and breakfast ordinance seeks to preserve (the ordinance states that it is to "help the preservation of historic homes because the expense of owning and maintaining historic homes has made them less suitable for single family dwellings "). The road (3rd Street South) and driveway can easily accommodate the minimal additional cars that this use will occasionally generate. The lot is large, well- screened and private. It is well - buffered from the adjoining lots. III. The City Council can find that the ordinance criteria that a variance be necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights is satisfied. • Ordinance Section 31.86, Subd. 2 (D) 2 lists as a criteria for a variance that, "A variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights and if granted would not constitute a special privilege not enjoyed by neighbors." Designating The Lammers House as a Bed and Breakfast will assist in preserving this unique, historical structure. The House is registered on the National Register of Historic Places and is registered on the State of Minnesota Register of National Historic Places. This is precisely the sort of interest that the Bed and Breakfast Ordinance seeks to protect. It will maintain an essentially single family use of the residence and will preclude use of the residence as a duplex or other multi - family use. It will permit the Kornwolfs to continue to enjoy this property and to maintain it in the fashion which is necessary to prevent its gradual deterioration. IV. The Council can find that the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. The City Council can find that the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. Ordinance Section 31.86, subd. 2 (D) 3 provides that: "The authorizing of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and will not materially impair the purpose and intent of this section or the public interest nor adversely affect the comprehensive plan." 3 • • • Designation of The Lammers House as a Bed and Breakfast will not be a detriment to adjacent property and will not impair the code or the comprehensive plan. Tim and Anita Komwolf know of no opposition to their proposal among the persons who would have the most immediate interest in whether a variance is granted - their neighbors.' In fact, all of the neighbors with whom the Kornwolfs have spoken have greeted the proposal favorably. This is perhaps because they see designation of the historic Lammers House as a Bed and Breakfast as generally a credit to the neighborhood and to the City. All of the site characteristics involved here: a large lot (17,648 square feet) surrounded by high wall and fencing, natural screening and buffering from the roadway and adjacent lots, a deep front yard, a large private cement parking area and driveway, ensure that the proposal would have no impact, or a very limited impact, on the adjacent property. For example, the parking area is capable of parking off - street six cars, each of which can enter and exit without the need to move cars. On behalf of Tim and Anita Komwolf I would like to thank the Honorable Mayor and Council for their consideration of this Application. Additionally, we thank Stillwater City Staff for their responsive guidance. (Obviously we are available to answer any questions that you may have at any time.) DKS/kn c: Tim and Anita Komwolf Sincerely, G' David K. Snyder I The Planning Commission correctly noted that the reason for the separation requirement is to limit the commercial impact of bed and breakfasts in residential neighborhoods. That there is no known objections by the adjacent neighbors indicates how suitable this site is for the proposed use and indicates that a variance would be reasonable on these facts. 4 • Findings required. A variance may be granted only when all of the following conditions are found: • 1. ` A hardship peculiar to the property, not created by any act of the owner, exists. Personal, family or financial difficulties, loss of prospective profits and neighboring violations are not hardships justifying a variance. / 2. A variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights; and, if granted, would not constitute a special privilege not enjoyed by neighbors. 3. The authorizing of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and will not materially impair the purpose and intent of this section or the public interest nor adversely affect the comprehensive plan. Bed and breakfast uses in residential areas must be located at least 900 feet • apart (approximately three blocks). Bed and breakfast means an owner occupied historic residential structure used as a lodging establishment where a guestroom or guestrooms are rented on a nightly basis and in which only breakfast is included as part of the basic compensation. I. All bed and breakfast special use permits must be reviewed annually by the community development department. A report must be submitted to the planning commission and city council during November of each year. • • • c. Variances. A variance may not circumvent the general purposes and intent of this subdivision. No variance may be granted that would allow any use that is prohibited in the zoning district in which the subject property is located. Variances. Variances will be granted only where there are particular hardships which make the strict enforcement of this subdivision impractical. Hardship means the proposed use of the property and associated structures in question cannot be established under the conditions allowed by this subdivision, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to this property, not created by the landowners after May 1, 1974; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone will not constitute a hardship for the reasonable use of the property and associated structures under the conditions allowed by this subdivision. In addition, no variance may be granted that would permit any use that is prohibited in this subdivision in which the subject property is located. • • To: Mayor and City Council ouncil From: Shawn Sanders, sistant City Engineer Date: June 26, 2002 Re: 2001 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project Project 2002 -11 DISCUSSION The public hearing for the 2002 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project is scheduled for July 2, 2002 at 7:00 pm.

Criteria used in inspection include sidewalks that are severely cracked, heaved or settled, or misaligned, such that they may cause people to trip. This year's project will focus in areas scattered all over town. (See attached map). There are 56 properties with approximately 13,000 square feet of sidewalk rehabilitation. The estimated total cost of the project is $98,284.00. This costs includes all work associated to remove, replace sidewalk, restoration, engineering, inspection and administration. It is proposed to assess $49,142.00 to the affected property owners, with the remaining share being paid for by the City. Property owners would have up until the time construction starts to replace the sidewalk on their own or else they would be included as part of our project and be assessed for their portion of the project costs.

A City of Stillwater Tax Abatement policy was adopted by the City Council at their meeting of June 4, 2002 (policy attached). The policy establishes program objectives, requirements, review criteria and eligible projects. Guiding principles for the program are also described. Tax Abatement Request. A tax abatement request has been received and set for hearing. The request is for $10,198.91 per year for 10 years or $101,989. The request indicates that the new owner has spent over $318,000 updating, renovating and meeting City and County Codes. The Lowell Inn is a contributing building in the Downtown Commercial Historic District and a community landmark. The condition of the structure had deteriorated over the years. A list of renovations is attached. A review of the Tax Abatement Policy indicates the proposal meets the purpose of the program i.e., increase and preserve tax base and provide employment opportunities. Program objectives met by the proposal include; create unique character through quality redevelopment design, stabilize the local tax base, increase job opportunities; eliminate blight, preserve historically significant buildings and retain local business. The work completed corrects code conditions and rehabilitates an existing structure. The abatement amount is limited to the city's share of property tax paid by the property or approximately $10,000 /year for 10 years. This is a three 3 for 1 investment to tax rebate. There are no significant environmental impacts that result from the project and the existing use is consistent with the Downtown Plan and zoning. The following criteria shall be used by the Council in determining the request. Review Criteria: Tax abatement will not be provided to those Projects that fail to meet public policy criteria as determined by the Council, including: poor project quality; projects that are not in accord with the comprehensive plan, zoning, redevelopment plans and city policies; projects that provide no significant improvements to surrounding land uses, the neighborhood, and/or the city; projects that do not provide a significant increase in tax base; projects that don't have a significant new or retained, employment; projects that do not meet financial feasibility criteria established by the city; and projects that do not provide the highest and best desired use for the property. Recommendation: Approval, based on above criteria and analysis. Attachments: Abatement request.

A subdivision of Lot 12, Blk 1, Liberty on the Lake, The Woodlands, into two lots. Lot A being 5,501.93 square feet to be combined with adjacent lot. David Hempel representing CPDC, applicant. Mr. Hempel requested a subdivision of Lot 12 to be combined with the adjacent lot. Subdividing the lot would reduce tree removal and grading. Parcel A would be shaved of and combined with lot 3. No set backs would be affected. The Commission was concerned about Lot 12 becoming nonconforming in the future. There will be no need for a variance for Lot 12 in the future to make it buildable.

A variance to the parking requirements (31 parking spaces required, 12 requested) at 220 East Myrtle Street in the CBD, Central Business District. Mark Balay representing David Hurley, applicant.

Washington County has decided that they can no longer accommodate the City on their system due to increased needs at Washington County. Therefore, the City will need to update our current phone system and purchase a new voice mail system. Since the new Public Works building will need to have phone \voice mail \LAN, it would be advantageous to have all the work done at the same time. The proposed plan allows City Hall and the new PW building to be connected for phone \voice mail and computer network. Proposal I suggest that the City of Stillwater purchase a Neaxmail AD 40 Voice Mail System. This system works with our current system, allows room for expansion, integrates with our Outlook (e -mail) and offers all of the options that we would like to have in a voice mail system. The cost of the system would be $11,050.00. This cost includes equipment, installation and training. The City would also need to purchase some additional equipment to update our current phone system to operate independently of Washington County's system. The cost of this equipment is $2,922.25. The new PW building would be connected to our building via a Ti line that would be split for voice and data. This would allow us to use the line for both the phone system and the network. PW's would have a NEC 2000 phone server installed at their location that would allow them to connect to our system, and also allows for continuted operation if the T1 connection is lost for any reason. The cost of the NEC 2000 is $11,732.50. This includes all equipment, including phones, installation and training Plus the CSU /DSU cards needed on both the PW's side and the City side to split their voice and data. They would also have a small server installed that would connect to the City Hall's network. This allows networked printing, file sharing, stored folders, e -mail, and application sharing. The cost of the server is $6,170. This server would have Windows 2000 Server software. I am also working with Teltronix on eliminating the current trunk lines and DID's that the City has with Qwest and McLeod USA and moving all of our lines over to a TI line. DID's are the range of phone numbers the City has. Currently the City pays approximately $2300 per month for these trunk lines and DID's between the two companies. The cost of a T1 would be approximately $850.00 plus about $28.00 for the DID lines. This would save the City about $1400 a month. We currently have a contract with McLeod and are working to determine whether we can work out the terms of that contract. However, I believe that we will be able to work that out and switch over our service. The cost of the T1 per month between the PW building and City Hall will be approximately $750.00. I have attached all of the quotes and the Scope of Work contract with Teletronix for you to review. Total Cost City of Stillwater Update to Phone System City of Stillwater Voice Mail System Public Works Phone System Public Works Server (LAN) Public Works Win 2000 Server Software Total Cost $ 2,922.25 $11,050.00 $11,732.50 $ 5,275.00 $ 850.00 $3 1,874.75 Budget AIlocation Since the City was not aware that Washington County was going to be removing us from their system until recently, the money for the upgrades to the City's phone system and the voice mail system was not budgeted for 2002. However, there will be some substantial savings in the MIS budget due to the fact that the software upgrades will not cost as much as originally anticipated. Therefore, the $13,972.50 for the phone upgrade and voice mail system and the $850.00 for the software for the server in the PW building could be paid with the savings. The $17,007.00 of equipment needed for the new Public Works building will be paid out of that building fund. Recommendation I recommend that the City approve the purchase of all of the above equipment along with the approval of switching our phone service over to a T1 line in the event that we can terminate our contract with McLeod. • • • • TELTFU11d>< • • INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
