  • West Hails East : Cass Gilbert in Minnesota / Sharon Irish
    'I ^ I / ig. '•J^'- vwixmmvM""'"^ ''"""-""'^•''f^y,^B_ ^S^^(^^^ rchitect Cass Gilbert lived in Minnesota for twenty-six years and worked there for fifty. A -park near the capitol in St. Paul and a Uni­ versity of Minnesota professorship bear his name. Free hats at the state fair have reproductions of Gilbert's capitol dome printed on them. His design plans are cited in modern reports on the future of St. Paul, and his ghost is invoked by local architecture critics. Yet Gilbert's ambition spurred him beyond the St. Paul houses, churches, and commercial buildings he de­ signed in the 1880s and 1890s. Gilbert wanted a na­ tional reputation, and he set his sights early on New York City as the place to make his career' For Gilbert, St. Paul could provide the staging, but only New York offered the spotlight. Much of what he did backstage during his twenties and thirties was to develop a network of clients, colleagues, and contacts that would support his talents and enable him to move East with a good chance of success. Although he im­ pressed many Minnesotans with his buildings and plans HAIL within the state, the audience Gilbert addressed was by the Hudson River, not the Mississippi. This is the story Cass Gilbert of how his years in Minnesota set the stage for his na­ tionwide practice in New York City. Cass was the middle of three sons, born in Zanes­ ville, Ohio, in 1859 to Elizabeth Wheeler and in Minnesota Samuel A. Gilbert, a surveyor. (The Wheelers, long­ time Zanesville residents, remained business connec­ tions for the mature architect.) Why Gilbert's family boarded a packet boat and traveled to St.

Schmidt, M.A. November 2018 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Minnesota United Soccer Club (MUSC) has developed a Major League Soccer Stadium and is planning additional mixed-use development in Saint Paul, Minnesota. These developments are located within a 34.43-acre area bounded by University Avenue to the north, Snelling Avenue to the west, Pascal Street to the east, and St. Anthony Avenue to the south. In addition to the 20,000- seat stadium, the remainder of the area will be redeveloped as mixed-use development, including retail and service commercial, hospitality, residential, office, institutional uses, and public and private open space. This development has included demolition of prior buildings and structures and construction of new buildings, street grid, utilities, and other infrastructure. As part of the planning for the stadium and associated development, MUSC prepared an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR), and although some cultural resources studies have been completed, the identification of historic resources has not. To address this, MUSC contracted with Streamline Associates, LLC (Streamline) to complete Phases I and II architecture-history studies. The purpose of the Phase I study was to identify any architecture-history properties within the area of potential effects (APE) of the Project that may be eligible for or are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
