May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.

  • Mississippi National River and Recreation Area Sustainability Framework
    Mississippi National River and Recreation Area Sustainability Framework May 2011 Mary Blitzer Raya Esmaeili Paula Guetter Matt Malecha Craig McDonnell Linden Weiswerda MNRRA SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK PREFACE This sustainability framework for the Mississippi National River Recreation Area (MNRRA) was undertaken as a requirement for graduation from the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Prior to the creation of this project, David Wiggins and Lark Weller of the National Park Service approached University of Minnesota professors Pat Nunnally and Carissa Schively Slotterback about designing a course that partnered the University’s resources with MNRRA. The outcome of those initial conversations resulted in the pairing of MNRRA with Professor Schively Slotterback’s Sustainability Planning Capstone Workshop. The goal of this semester–long project was to create a final product that allows MNRRA to incorporate sustainability into its short and long-term planning efforts.

  • Neighborhoods at the Edge of the Walking City
    Saint Paul Historic Context Study Neighborhoods at the Edge of the Walking City Saint Paul, Minnesota, 1867 (Chicago: Chicago Lithographing Co., 1867). Ruger Map Collection, Library of Congress. Prepared for Historic Saint Paul, City of Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, and Ramsey County Historical Society Saint Paul, Minnesota By Mead & Hunt, Inc. 2011 Saint Paul Historic Context Study Neighborhoods at the Edge of the Walking City Introduction This historic context examines Saint Paul’s neighborhoods located at the edge of the “walking city,” or the area in which residents could easily travel on foot to reach their destinations before mass transportation was readily available. In the mid-nineteenth century, the early years of Saint Paul’s development, the city’s residents settled around the Mississippi River steamboat landings known as the Upper and Lower Landings. While many of the houses were interspersed among the commercial and public buildings at each of the landings, several notable residential districts, including Irvine Park, Lafayette Park, and Dayton’s Bluff, developed near the original settlements early in Saint Paul’s history.1 As the city grew in the post-Civil War years beyond the original settlements, the limits of the walking city expanded and it became a city of several separate, distinct, and larger neighborhoods.2 These neighborhoods included, as typically identified today, Summit-University, Thomas-Dale, North End, Payne-Phalen, West 7th Street, and West Side. Figure 1. The central area of Saint Paul with neighborhoods identified in their general locations in order to provide a relative sense of their locations in the city.
