Historic Resource application to demolish the subject property at 213 9th Street South. On January 9, 2019, the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) denied the Demolition of a Historic resource application, placed the property under interim protection, and directed the Planning Director to prepare or cause to be prepared this designation study. This Study is intended to fulfill the requirements for local historical designation outlined in Title 23, Chapter 599.230 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances. The study is based on a review of resources which includes a 1980 City of Minneapolis designation study, which received the approval of the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission and Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office; a 1981 National Register of Historic Places nomination form; a 1989 survey of downtown properties deemed the building “very critical” as the first Minneapolis multiple-family residence with common entrance; a 2000 context statement for downtown Minneapolis which identified the Oakland Apartments as the last remaining example of a small apartment building for middle class residents from 1890-1910; a 2008 landmark nomination application from author Elizabeth Vandam, well known for her expertise in Harry Wild Jones’ work; and a 2011 reconnaissance-level survey of the central core of Minneapolis which recommended the property for intensive-level evaluation. 5 BASIC PROPERTY INFORMATION CURRENT NAME Oakland Apartments HISTORIC NAME Oakland, Oaklands, The Oakland, Oakland Apartments CURRENT ADDRESS 213 9th Street South HISTORIC ADDRESS 213-215 9th Street South ORIGINAL 1889 CONSTRUCTION DATE ORIGINAL unknown CONTRACTOR ORIGINAL ARCHITECT, Harry Wild Jones MASTER BUILDER, ENGINEER, DESIGNER, ARTIST, OR CRAFTSMEN HISTORIC USE Six-unit apartment building PROPOSED USE Multiple-family dwelling WARD: Ward # 7 NEIGHBORHOOD: Downtown West 6 PART 1: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PARCEL LOCATION, SHAPE, AND SIZE The subject lot is a narrow, rectangular, 40’x165’ lot located mid-block in Minneapolis’ central business district (Figure 2). DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING(S) ON THE PROPERTY Description of the Primary Structure DATE(S) OF CONSTRUCTION: William P. Burnett pulled the Building Permit to construct this multi- family residence on June 20, 1889 for an estimated cost of $20,000. The schedule estimated construction would occur over the summer and be complete by September 20.1 SIZE AND MASSING: The subject property is a three-story residence laid out in a compound plan, two units wide by three units deep (Figure 1). LOCATION, PLACEMENT, AND ORIENTATION OF BUILDING ON THE SITE: The building is centered on the northern edge of the lot and faces north toward downtown Minneapolis. Situated mid-block, between 2nd and 3rd Avenue South, the subject building and its western neighbor, the League of Catholic Women Building, are the last remaining buildings on a block dominated by surface parking lots (Figure 2). ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Harry Wild Jones designed the building in the Richardsonian Romanesque style KNOWN ORIGINAL ELEMENTS THAT ARE DETERIORATED OR MISSING: The subject property has suffered from a number of fires during its one hundred thirty-year history. The only extant historic features on the exterior of the building are its masonry walls, front staircase, and two porthole stained- glass windows, currently removed for repair. Description of Interior Features The subject property has suffered a number of fires during its one hundred thirty-year history. Few historic features remain inside the building, therefore its interior is not suitable for designation. Description of Landscape and Landscape Features One non-historic deciduous tree and a small patch of sparse grass at the front of the lot constitute the only landscaping on site. 7 PART 2: DISCUSSION OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Residential Development in Minneapolis Oakland Apartments has long been recognized as one of the first multiple-unit residential buildings built in Minneapolis, emblematic of the

    NPS Form 10-900-a (Rev. 8/2002) OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5-31-2012) United States Department of the Interior Prospect Park ResidentialPut Here Historic District National Park Service Name of Property Hennepin County, MN County and State National Register of Historic Places N/A Continuation Sheet Name of multiple listing (if applicable) Section number 8 Page 1 NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The civil engineers who laid out the Prospect Park plats, Samuel Harlan Baker and Joseph H. Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

Bushaway Road 150 Years – the Sesquicentennial…..…41 V. Bibliography …………………………………………….. 43 VI. Appendix: Petition to Annexation into Wayzata, 1956… 44 INTRODUCTION THE HISTORY OF BUSHAWAY ROAD AND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD documents the early history of the road and settlement of the neighborhood. The research was conducted and prepared by Irene Stemmer, of the Wayzata Heritage Preservation Board (HPB)1 as a means of preserving the history of the Bushaway Road and its neighborhood. We began with a history of the road. Thanks to Nancy Kehmeier, who located the original 1858 surveyor’s map of the “Shakopee to Dayton” road, we knew in 2008 that County Road 101 (Bushaway Road) was a 150 year old road. Unfortunately, just being 150 years old was not enough. Historian Bob Frame of Mead & Hunt reviewed the history of the road and deemed it ineligible for consideration as a “historic road” due to the changes over the years to the surface. So we stopped the presses and celebrated our 150 year old road.2 The next step was to document the history of the neighborhood. The Bushaway and West Holdridge land was annexed to Wayzata in 1956 which was after many of the early histories were written about our city, so where do you start? The starting point became the “Architectural History Evaluation of Locust Hills Estate by Andrew J.

Biographical sketches and portraits of the leaders in business, politics and the professions; together with an historical and descriptive sketch of the state http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.19129 Library of Congress It is a generally accepted proposition that the growth and development of any community along right lines depend more upon the character of its population that upon any other causes; and to a correct understanding of the forces which have contributed to the upbuilding of this commonwealth some knowledge of the men who have been instrumental in making Minnesota what it is, is necessary. The population of the state is increasing at a rapid rate and many thousands from other states and countries become residents every year, who are unfamiliar with its history and unacquainted with the men who have made that history. The purpose of this volume is to furnish a convenient and trustworthy source from which accurate knowledge of the history of the state may be obtained.

    Lakewood Cemetery A Self-Guided Tour ART AND ARCHITECTURE Between 1850 and 1930, many prominent architects and sculptors designed funeral monuments. Three styles were popular during the heyday of cemetery art: Classical Revival (a woman draped in flowing Grecian robes is typical), Egyptian Revival (the pyramid and obelisk) and Medieval Revival (hefty, round Romanesque lines or delicate detailed Gothic style). You will see many of the first two styles as well as countless one-of-a-kind monuments as you explore Lakewood.
