233 Park Ave Department of Community Planning & Economic Development 505 4th Avenue South, #320 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Agenda Item #6 MEMORANDUM To: Heritage Preservation Commission Prepared By: John Smoley, Ph.D., Senior City Planner, (612) 673-2830 Date: March 2, 2021 Subject: National Register of Historic Places Nomination, 233 Park Ave Background On January 26, 2021, the Minnesota Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) sent the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) a letter requesting comments on the nomination of the J.I. Case Building to the National Register of Historic Places (Attachments 1 and 2). The property is located at 233 Park Ave in Minneapolis. As a Certified Local Government, the Commission is required by federal law to participate in the National Register nomination process as follows: o Afford the public a reasonable opportunity to comment on the nomination; o Prepare a report as to whether or not the subject property is eligible for National Register listing; and o Have the chief local elected official (the Mayor) submit this report and his/her recommendation to the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Officer within sixty days of notice from the SHPO.1 The full nomination is attached for your review and comment. Previous Reviews The City of Minneapolis identified the property as a potential historic resource in the 2011 reconnaissance-level survey of the central core portion of Minneapolis, recommending an intensive-level evaluation of the property to determine its eligibility for local or federal listing. Nomination Review Description Located one block from the western edge of the Downtown East neighborhood, the J.I. Case Building consists of one contributing and zero noncontributing buildings on one tax parcel at the northwest corner of the intersection of Park and Washington Avenues. This flat-roofed building stands three stories tall over a raised basement. Load-bearing 1 More than a simple comment letter, this report provides the City with significant decision-making power in the matter. If both the Commission and the chief local elected official recommend that the subject property should not be nominated to the National Register, the SHPO shall take no further action, unless within thirty days of the receipt of such recommendation by the SHPO an appeal is filed with the State. If such an appeal is filed, the State shall follow the procedures for making nomination pursuant to established procedures. Even then, the City’s report and recommendations are included with the nomination submitted by the State to the Keeper of the National Register. walls of red brick with white terra cotta capitals, tiles, stringcourses, and dentils adorn the street sides of the building while common, cream-colored brick clads the interior side and rear of the building. A red sandstone band wraps around the street sides of the building midway up the first story. The building was designed by master architects Kees and Colburn in the Classical Revival style of architecture, but neither are related to the property’s significance. Significance The nomination states that the J. I. Case Building is locally significant under National Register Criterion A for its role in commerce and community planning. The Case company’s impact upon national commerce is readily evident in the ongoing proliferation of the company’s massive red farm machinery throughout rural America. Minneapolis’ place in this significance is less apparent, but still important. For one half century the subject property served as the Case company’s regional marketing and distribution headquarters. Prior to the construction of this building, independent jobbers supplied retailers with Case equipment, until Case vertically integrated these operations into its own company, in line with industry trends. In terms of its community planning significance, the subject property’s setting belies this block’s rough and tumble past. The entire block is an example of a private redevelopment spurred by a former mayor to eliminate blight and spread Minneapolis’ farm implement industry further south of the Warehouse District. The Case building’s construction demolished the courtyard of Fish Alley, a notorious hub for persistent criminal activity. While earlier redevelopment on other parts of this block had weakened the alley’s influence, it took the Case project to eliminate it completely. The buildings’ period of significance spans from its completion in 1907 through 1958, the last full year that Case occupied the property before moving to Eagan. Integrity The National Register of Historic Places divides integrity into seven aspects: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Possessing several, and usually most, of these aspects allows resources to successfully communicate their historical significance within a given context.2 The J.I. Case Building retains integrity, never having been moved; having had very few alterations; possessing its decorative masonry workmanship; and being located in close proximity to Washington Ave with other neighboring farm equipment buildings from the early twentieth century: the Advance Thresher and Emerson-Newton Implement Company Buildings as well as the Great Northern Implement Company Building, rebuilt after the 1910 fire. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Heritage Preservation Commission adopt this CPED report, approve the National Register nomination for the J.I. Case Building at 233 Park Ave, and direct staff to transmit a letter summarizing the report to the State Historic Preservation Officer. Attachments 1. CLG Comment Notice from MnSHPO 2. J.I.

  • DEVELOPMENT of THRESHING SYSTEM in COMBINE HARVESTER for IMPROVING of ITS PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY in RICE THRESHING Ahmed El-Raie E
    Misr J. Ag. Eng., 29 (1): 143 - 178 FARM MACHINERY AND POWER DEVELOPMENT OF THRESHING SYSTEM IN COMBINE HARVESTER FOR IMPROVING OF ITS PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY IN RICE THRESHING Ahmed El-Raie E. Suliman1, Abdel-Al, Taieb2, Mervat M. Atallah3 ABSTRACT The combine (Class Crop Tiger) which was used in the present study is middle size (2.10 m cutting width). The axial flow drum was used in this combine. Separation wings were parallel with its axis. So, some improvements could be added to the axial-flow threshing/separating drum to improve the straw flow to reduce blockage, loss and to improve field efficiency and grain yield. So, improving the performance of combine machines during the harvesting operation of cereal crops is important to minimize both grain losses and operational costs. The main experiments were carried out at Ahmed Ramie Farm, Etai Al Barod, El-Behera Governorate, in order to compare four different types of threshing and separation drums of combine. The experiments were conducted in productive rice crop, variety (Giza 171) in an area of about 4.10 feddans. Specifications of threshing and separation drum before and after development: 1- Design and fabricate three serrated agitator ledge (15, 10 and 7 teeth), so that the passing crop and separation will be easy. 2- The length of threshing and separation is 180 cm, it consists three parts, the first part of the threshing section length 57.5 cm, the second part of the separation section length 90.5 cm, it change the separation section length to 110.5 cm to increase the grain separation efficiency and the third part of the straw exit section length to 22 cm.

  • Croft Scale Equipment Used to Process Grain a Historical Perspective and a Route to Revival
    Croft scale equipment used to process grain A historical perspective and a route to revival [Spare parts print from 1901 WM Elder of Berwicks Catalogue] Behold her, single in the field, Yon solitary Highland Lass! Reaping and singing by herself; Stop here, or gently pass! Alone she cuts and binds the grain, And sings a melancholy strain; O listen! for the Vale profound Is overflowing with the sound. No Nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands Of travellers in some shady haunt, Among Arabian sands: A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird, Breaking the silence of the seas Among the farthest Hebrides. Will no one tell me what she sings?— Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;— I listen'd, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.

  • Threshing Machine (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Threshing Machine (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A threshing machine or thresher is a piece of farm equipment that threshes grain, that is, removes the seeds from the stalks and husks. It does so by beating the plant to make the seeds fall out. Before such machines were developed, threshing was done by hand with flails, and such hand threshing was very laborious and time-consuming, taking about one-quarter of agricultural labor by the 18th century. Mechanization of this process removed a substantial amount of drudgery from farm labor. The first threshing machine was invented circa 1786 by the Scottish engineer Andrew Meikle, and the subsequent adoption of such machines was one of the earlier examples of the mechanization of agriculture. During the 19th century, threshers and mechanical reapers and reaper-binders gradually became widespread and made grain production much less laborious. Separate reaper-binders and threshers have largely been replaced by machines that combine all of their functions, that is, combine harvesters or combines. However, the simpler machines remain important as appropriate technology in low-capital farming contexts, both in developing countries and in developed countries on small farms that strive for especially high levels of self-sufficiency. For example, pedal-powered threshers are a low-cost option, and some Amish sects use horse-drawn binders and old-style threshers. HISTORY Andrew Meikle (5 May 1719 – 27 November 1811) was a Scottish mechanical engineer credited with inventing the threshing machine, a device used to remove the outer husks from grains of wheat. This was regarded as one of the key developments of the British Agricultural Revolution in the late 18th century.

One of the biggest problems observed during the sunflower threshing process is the accumulation of threshed crop on the first third of the threshing roller and passing off some unthreshed parts of sunflower heads. To solve the aforementioned problem and optimize the efficiency of the sunflower threshing process, this research was focused on devising and testing a sunflower threshing machine with a close threshing box system equipped with a screw conveyor that evenly distributed the feedstock of sunflower heads on the entire length of the threshing roller. The machine was tested to assess the seed damage rate, unthreshed seed percentage, threshing efficiency, machine productivity, power requirements and Citation: Ali, K.A.M.; Zong, W.; specific energy consumption.
