A Message from the Editorial Board RAMSEY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Tony Bennett, chair Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt his issue shows us two perspectives on places in Ramsey County: the history of a whole Commissioner Toni Carter Tneighborhood and that of a single building. The first article, Gene Rosenblum’s “The Jews Commissioner Rafael Ortega of Fourteenth Street Remembered,” provides a fascinating glimpse into the Jewish community Commissioner Janice Rettman Commissioner Jan Parker that flourished from the 1880’s to the 1950’s near the site of present-day Region’s Hospital. The Commissioner Jim McDonough article draws on numerous sources—photographs, maps, census data, and RCHS’s own building David Twa, manager, Ramsey County permit collection—to document the families, businesses, synagogues, and community organiza­ tions of the neighborhood. Many present-day St. Paul Jewish families, who later moved to other Ramsey County History is published quarterly parts of the city, can trace their roots to this area, which first welcomed Russian Jewish emigrants by the Ramsey County Historical Society, in 1882.

For many years following the demolition of this home, the now va­ cant lot provided a pathway to Central Community House, which was located at 190 E. University Avenue (formerly Fif­ teenth Street). When St. Paul’s Fourteenth Street was the home to a large community of Jews, it was not a single street. It was the collec­ tive name for about a dozen streets that all lay in the shadow of the Minnesota State Capitol. Here, on Fourteenth Street, between 1882 and the 1950s, was a place where people of the Jewish faith lived, worked, prayed, prospered, raised their large families, and died. According to St. Paul historian Don­ ald Empson in his book, The Street Where You Live (2006), Fourteenth Street was platted in 1856 and was the city’s four­ teenth street from the Mississippi River.

  • Skyscrapers and District Heating, an Inter-Related History 1876-1933
    Skyscrapers and District Heating, an inter-related History 1876-1933. Introduction: The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between a new urban and architectural form, the skyscraper, and an equally new urban infrastructure, district heating, both of witch were born in the north-east United States during the late nineteenth century and then developed in tandem through the 1920s and 1930s. These developments will then be compared with those in Europe, where the context was comparatively conservative as regards such innovations, which virtually never occurred together there. I will argue that, the finest example in Europe of skyscrapers and district heating planned together, at Villeurbanne near Lyons, is shown to be the direct consequence of American influence. Whilst central heating had appeared in the United Kingdom in the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, district heating, which developed the same concept at an urban scale, was realized in Lockport (on the Erie Canal, in New York State) in the 1880s. In United States were born the two important scientists in the fields of heating and energy, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and Benjamin Thompson Rumford (1753-1814). Standard radiators and boilers - heating surfaces which could be connected to central or district heating - were also first patented in the United States in the late 1850s.1 A district heating system produces energy in a boiler plant - steam or high-pressure hot water - with pumps delivering the heated fluid to distant buildings, sometimes a few kilometers away. Heat is therefore used just as in other urban networks, such as those for gas and electricity.

  • Chapter 5. Historic Resources 5.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.

  • Vital Signs: Economic Realities and Challenges Facing New York City One Year After 9/11
    THE NEW YORK CITY PARTNERSHIP A BUSINESS LEADERSHIP ORGANIZATION 1 Battery Park Plaza / New York NY 10004-1479 / ph 212.493.7400 / fax 212.344.3344 / www.nycp.org UPDATE VITAL SIGNS: ECONOMIC REALITIES AND CHALLENGES FACING NEW YORK CITY ONE YEAR AFTER 9/11 Engineering the post-9/11 recovery of the New York City economy, one of the nation’s strongest engines of growth and prosperity, is a complex undertaking. In this document, the New York City Partnership has compiled facts and statistics to convey the scale of the challenge facing the city. The Partnership believes that in the months and years ahead, the city must restore the level of jobs and economic activity that existed in Lower Manhattan before the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. The city’s redevelopment strategy must also reposition downtown for future growth. This will require government, business, labor, residents and others to intensify their commitment to public-private collaboration. The public and private investment decisions that flow from these collaborations will have a profound effect on the economic security of the nation in this century. Americans across the country marked the one-year anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks with ceremonies that honored those who perished. But it is also important for all Americans to know just how far New York has come since 9/11 and how far New York must go to fully recover from the economic damage attributable to 9/11 and its aftermath. In mid-November 2001, about eight weeks after the attack on the World Trade Center, the New York City Partnership and seven management consulting firms issued an in-depth, 150-page analysis of 9/11’s impact on the city’s economy.
