| Description Program Srvc Accom | 2016 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 2016 again focused on University Avenue projects in conjunction with Neighborhood Development Center. HSP managed and completed a storefront rehab project at Ashama Grocery & Deli a $210,000 project to which HSP contributed $33,000 in the form of a forgivable loan. Planning continued for a facade rehab project on a building across the street from Ashama which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The project was bid and awarded in 2016 for construction in 2017. HSP committed $47,000 towards the completion of this $112,000 project. 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. 2016 accomplishments of this collaborative include:Rehabilitating vulnerable vacant properties that reflect and enhance the character of the neighborhood:We completed rehabilitation of 493 Edmund and sold it to a first-time home owner who had grown up on the same block in Frogtown.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 began working 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 are to:oEncourage residents to determine what long and short-term goals they have for their homes and block.oMobilize the expertise and capacity of a collaboration of partners to help residents achieve those goals. oProvide neighbors the opportunity to build and/or strengthen relationships and neighborhood cohesiveness as they work together to plan and implement improvements.oPreserve 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.oEnhance and expand capacities of partner organizations to achieve impact through collaboration.Daytons BluffHSP accepted the donation of foreclosed and vacant house in the Daytons Bluff historic district, built in 1888, and threatened with demolition by the city of Saint Paul. HSP completed plans for its rehabilitation, and secured construction financing to complete the $200,000 project which will result in a completely updated 4-bedroom home. Construction will be completed in 2017.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 43,000 people in 2016.Survey WorkIn response to increased threats of demolition facing the Macalester Park neighborhood, HSP worked with consultants and residents to complete a comprehensive architectural survey for use in local planning efforts.HSP worked closely with partner Aurora Saint Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation (ASANDC) to issue an RFP, select a consultant, and begin community outreach efforts for the Saint Paul African American Context Study. The study, scheduled for completion in 2017 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. HSP also worked with the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission to issue an RFP and select a consultant to begin work on the Historic Hill Survey Project an effort to update and expand on survey information in the Historic Hill National Register and State historic districts needed for the city and state to comply with federal regulations on proposed demolitions and partial demolitions in that district. 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 2016 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. HSP worked with as part of the project team to hire and have completed by consultants a facilities feasibility plan, a fundraising plan, and revised business plan.HSP continued extensive work begun in 2015 to save six city-owned buildings in the Daytons Bluff heritage preservation district from demolition. HSP helped to build community support, helped recruit developers for the properties, submitted proposals on several of the properties, and was selected as co-developer of one of the six properties a 1885 building, now a 4-plex, categorized as pivotal to the character of the Daytons Bluff historic district and vacant since 2002. HSP worked closely with Ramsey County and the City of Saint Paul on efforts to preserve a vacant tax-forfeited property at 670 Conway, also in the Daytons Bluff heritage preservation district, that was threatened with demolition under the citys vacant building ordinance. That home was completely rehabbed as a duplex under the Countys 4R program and sold at auction in 2017.HSP was one of several community partners and organizations that filed a lawsuit to prevent demolition of the oldest extant municipal building - Hope Engine Co. No. 3 which was constructed in 1872. As a result, the city began negotiating with the developer who planned to build a hotel on the site and agreed to help underwrite the fire stations preservation.Population and Communities Served by HSP ActivitiesHSP is committed to preserving the cultural history, neighborhoods and landmarks of Saint Paul and in our programming, seeks to serve residents throughout the city. However, the focus of our activities is on historic resources in under-resourced neighborhoods containing much of the citys oldest and most deteriorated building stock and home to its most diverse constituencies. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
