If necessary, we will talk with them directly to make sure we provide the correct information in the form they prefer 1 A Plats 130 The west half of Churchill Nelson & Slaughter s Addition Proposal • • We will discuss the architectural styles in the Preservation Planning Area and compare it to other Stillwater neighborhoods - We will photograph all properties We will prepare a report which describes the development of the area, recommendations for future survey work, and suggest properties that might be eligible for local historic designations and/or eligible for the National Register of Places We will not make any nominations ourselves We will discuss any possible planmng methods for preservation of historic structures, landscapes, and neighborhoods We will attend three meetings with the Stillwater H P C OUR RESEARCH We propose to do a thorough study of the area, despite the considerable time and money constraints We will use 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 owners through the years While this kind of research is tedious in the extreme, it gives accurate information that can be found in no other way (The first two surveys done for the Heritage Preservation Commission in this series relied on the date of 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 ) 2 The west half -of -Churchill Nelson & Slaughter s Addrnon Proposal i Rivertown Restoration 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 Pubhc Library The apphcations 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 apphcations for repairs and remodehng This information is invaluable and essential for any thorough 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 are rarely used in historical research The Sanborn Insurance Maps will be of value There are a number of unpublished manuscripts and some published reminiscences which might contain some useful information, although, frankly, we have found much of this information inaccurate In general, we will try to use only original sources for our research For visual aids, there are two Bird's Eye View Maps of Stillwater drawn m 1869, and again in 1879 With their accurate representations of each house and budding, these are extremely useful We will talk to the residents of the area in cases where we have some uncertainties, when convenient we will try to obtain copies of property Abstracts We will also use the land records at the office of the Recorder of Deeds There are photographs on file at the Stillwater Public Library, the Washington County Historical Society, and the Minnesota Historical Society In our experience, many residents have old photos of their homes which we would try to incorporate in our research In 1978, Rivertown Restoration photographed every house in Stillwater over 50 years old Within the past year, these photographs have been catalogued, and they will prove useful m certain circumstances 3 The west half of Churchill Nelson & Slaughter s Addition Proposal • • QUALIFICATIONS Empson Archives Donald Empson (assisted by Kathleen Vadnais) University of Minnesota Bachelor of Arts Degree, 1965 Minor History, Major Enghsh Master of Arts Degree, 1965 Library Science Advanced Study, Umversity of Iowa, Iowa City Director, Chippewa County Library, 1965 1967 Montevideo, Minnesota Instructor, School of Library Science, 1967 1970 Umversity of Iowa, Iowa City Minnesota Historical Society, St Paul, Minnesota Reference Librarian, 1970 1973 Map Librarian, 1973 1976 Self -Employed, Antique clock and watch repair, 1976 1988 Semi retired, 1988 i The west half of Churchill Nelson & Slaughter s Addition Proposal • PUBLICATIONS The Street Where You Live Witsend Press, 1975 Portrait of a Neighborhood St Paul, 1980 Guidebook to the 1870 and 1879 Bird's Eye View Maps of Stillwater, Minnesota Empson Archives, 1995 A History of the Greeley Residential Area, Stillwater, 1997 A History of the Dutchtown Residential Area, Stillwater, 1998 A History of the Holcombe's Additions Residential Area, Stillwater, 1999 A History of the Hersey Staples & Co Addition Residential Area, Stillwater 2000 Miscellaneous newspaper and magazine articles The west half of Churchill Nelson & Slaughter s Addmon Proposal • • PROJECT BUDGET -
