Historic Saint Paul works in partnership with private owners, community organizations, and public agencies leveraging Saint Pauls cultural and heritage resources as assets in economic development and community building initiatives. Historic Saint Paul seeks to advance creative, sustainable, long-term rehabilitation strategies that: build community pride by retaining a sense of place and celebrating cultural heritage; encourage investment into Saint Pauls heritage resources; and revitalize neighborhoods and business corridors by improving existing homes and commercial buildings in a manner that is sensitive to cultural and architectural context. 2017 programs, activities, and accomplishments:Neighborhood PreservationThrough its Restore Saint Paul loan program and other bricks-and-mortar initiatives, Historic Saint Paul (HSP) secures financial resources and provides technical support to improve historic homes and commercial buildings, enhancing the character, economic stability and perception of Saint Pauls oldest neighborhoods. Restore Saint Paul Loan ProgramActivities in 2017 focused on two facade rehab projects. The first, 823 University Avenue, in collaboration with Neighborhood Development Center. The project cost is $112,000, of which $47,000 is HSP funding. The second was a continuation of the previous Joe & Stan's project; in this phase, stucco was removed from the second story at a cost of $7,000.Preserve FrogtownA significant aspect of HSPs recent neighborhood preservation activity has been working in partnership with Frogtown Neighborhood Association and other partners to implement the Preserve Frogtown initiative. 2017 accomplishments of this collaborative include:Rehabilitating vulnerable vacant properties that reflect and enhance the character of the neighborhood:- We completed pre-development work on 690 Lafond, which was purchased and will be completed in 2018.- We continued to work in collaboration with Twin Cities Community Land Bank (TCCLB) on strategies to monitor and evaluate vacant properties with strategic redevelopment potential and secure resources for their rehabilitation. Coordinating resources that reduce the cost of rehabilitation and home ownership:- We worked with our partners Frogtown Neighborhood Association, Habitat for Humanity, and NeighborWorks Home Partners to promote resources that are available for home improvement and foreclosure prevention to residents. As part of this effort, we worked in collaboration on the Charles Block Project, an initiative to actively engage and residents along Charles Avenue between Dale and Kent in a pilot block long neighborhood regeneration project. Key goals of the Charles Block Project were to:- Encourage residents to determine what long and short-term goals they have for their homes and block.- Mobilize the expertise and capacity of a collaboration of partners to help residents achieve those goals. - Provide neighbors the opportunity to build and/or strengthen relationships and neighborhood cohesiveness as they work together to plan and implement improvements.- Preserve and highlight the architectural character and features of the houses, working with residents and partners to build awareness of their value and history, and strategies to maintain and celebrate them.- Enhance and expand capacities of partner organizations to achieve impact through collaboration.Daytons BluffHSP began rehabilitation of a foreclosed and vacant house in the Daytons Bluff historic district, built in 1888, and threatened with demolition by the city of Saint Paul. HSP invested over $200,000 into the project which, when completed, will result in a completely updated 4-bedroom home. HSP continued with work (begun in 2015) to save six city-owned buildings in the Daytons Bluff heritage preservation district from demolition. HSP worked with city officials, private developers, and HUD representatives to secure funding to complete two projects which converted former mixed-use buildings into residential units. HSP is serving as project manager for the redevelopment of one of the buildings, built in 1885, categorized as pivotal to the character of the Daytons Bluff historic district, vacant since 2002, and will be reconstructed as 4 units of affordable rental housing. HSP worked with Ramsey County and the City of Saint Paul on efforts to preserve a vacant tax-forfeited property at 735 Margaret, also in the Daytons Bluff heritage preservation district, that was threatened with demolition under the citys vacant building ordinance. 412 GoodrichNeighbors from the Little Bohemia Neighborhood Association alerted Historic Saint Paul of the pending demolition of a Territorial homestead property, constructed in 1856. Historic Saint Paul worked with neighbors to develop a plan for its preservation and reconstruction that would temporarily stay the demolition, accepted the donation of the property from the previous owner, and began raising funds required to complete its rehabilitation.Cultural HeritageHistoric Saint Paul promotes areas of cultural interest citywide and works with city officials and community partners to leverage their value in local economic development and community-building initiatives.Saint Paul Historical: Web & Mobile projectHSP developed and maintains an interactive web site and mobile app, Saint Paul Historical. The project provides online access to information on the history of Saint Pauls oldest neighborhoods. The resource, with desktop and smart-phone access, contains walking tours, audio and video recordings, and other information celebrating the citys cultural heritage. We continue to maintain and expand offerings on the site which reached over 50,000 people in 2017.Survey WorkHSP worked closely with partner Aurora Saint Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation (ASANDC) to complete the Saint Paul African American Context Study. The study will form a foundation for the future preservation of historic sites and provide tools to help promote African American cultural heritage and heritage tourism in Saint Paul. AdvocacyHistoric Saint Paul advocates for public policies that protect and enhance Saint Pauls historic and cultural resources and engages project partners to identify historic assets, analyze reuse alternatives, and mobilize public and private support and resources for preservation projects.In 2017 HSP continued to provide staff support to Victoria Theater Arts Center in its efforts to revive this long-vacant, 1915 silent movie theater as a community arts center.
