Thursday, October 13, 2016 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes E1 MEMORANDUM TO:Heritage Preservation Commission FROM:Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator/HPC Staff Liaison DATE:November 10, 2016 SUBJECT:Nominations for Heritage Preservation Award Introduction The Maplewood Heritage Award is an annual award recognizing an individual who has positively influenced Maplewood’spast or significantly contributed tothe preservation of the city’s history. Discussion Each year the Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC)recommends to City Councila recipientfor the annual Maplewood Heritage Award. The award honors an individual who has positively influenced Maplewood’s past or significantly contributed to the preservation of the city’s history. Recent recipients of the award include:George Rossbach (2010), Char Wasiluk (2011), Ann Fosburgh (2012), Bob Jensen (2013), Carolyn Peterson (2014), and the Bruentrup Family (2015). To ensure commissionershaveadequate information to make an informed decision, we needa written summary of each candidate’s contributions prior to voting. The following procedure is recommended: 1.At November HPC meeting, nominate candidates and appoint commissioners to prepare a written summaries of nominees’ contributions. 2.Submit written statements on candidatesto staff by November 30, for inclusion in December HPC meeting packet.Additional candidates may be nominated any time prior to November 30, by submitting a written statement on the candidate to staff. 3.At December 8, 2016HPC meeting, vote on candidates. 4.Have council present theaward at the January 2017council meeting. th Alternatively, the award could be presented at the 60Anniversary Celebration in February 2017. Recommendation Staff recommends the HPC nominates candidates for the Maplewood Heritage Award and appoints commissioners to prepare summarieson thenominees. Attachments None F1 MEMORANDUM TO:Heritage Preservation Commission FROM:Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator/HPC Liaison DATE:November 10, 2016 SUBJECT:Gladstone SavannaLandscapeDesign Introduction Maplewood is workingon Phase III improvements at Gladstone Savanna Neighborhood Preserve. Staff will update the Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC) on the landscape for the well area. Discussion Gladstone Savanna NeighborhoodPreserve is a 24-acre park and preserve managed by Maplewood’s Parks and Recreation Department. It was formerly the site of the Gladstone Shops of theSt. Paul and Duluth Railroad. City Council approved the Site Master Planin 2011, after a public planningprocess, includingrecommendationby the HPC. Maplewood has hired landscape architects from KimleyHorntoprepare adesign for three landscape features—the well, a rail feature, and building corners.Commissionersreviewed preliminary concepts for these atthe September 2016 HPC meeting.There are no updates on the rail feature or the building corner markers. Staff and consultant have decided to goin a different direction for the well sitting areathan was presented in September. That initial concept had a kiosk at the center of the sitting area. After reviewing preliminary sketches, staff felt if there was going to be a structure at this area, it needed to bean architectural feature and our budget did not allow for that scale of work. We decided to remove the kiosk and focuson this as a sitting interpretive area. The revisedconcept (Attachment 1) shows a limestone bench marking the location ofthe former well. This would be on a floating base (a 12”-15”concrete slab). There were be no need for deeper footings.The HPC’s role is to ensure the design celebrates the site history and doesnot negatively impact underground foundations. This structure would not impact underground foundations, since this area was capped with two feet of soil during soil remediation. Staff is seeking input on the revised concept for the well sitting area. Finaldrawings for all the landscape features will be presented at a future HPC meeting for review and recommendation. Recommendation The HPC shallreview the conceptfor the well sitting/interpretive and provide input.No action is required. Attachment 1.Conceptdrawing for wellarea F1, Attachment 1 F2 MEMORANDUM TO:Heritage Preservation Commission FROM:Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator/HPC Staff Liaison DATE:November 10, 2016 SUBJECT:HPC Training Introduction The Minnesota Heritage Commission Statewide Training Manual is now available for use by Heritage Preservation Commissions (HPC). The HPC will continuethis training at the Novembermeeting. Discussion The MinnesotaHeritage Commission Statewide Training Manual was released in August 2016. HPC’s throughout the state are encouraged to use the training materialsto increase their understanding of the HPC’s role and ofpreservation laws and processes. The training is provided in a set of PowerPointslidesfor HPC’s to review and a 160-page training manual. The HPC completed Chapter 1 of the training at theOctober 2016 meeting. In November, the HPC will reviewChapter 3: Designating Properties. Slides for Chapter 3 are available at www.ci.stillwater.mn.us(search HPC Training Program). If you would like a hard copy of the slides, or of the training manual, please let staff know and they can provide that for you. Recommendation No action required. Attachments None F3 MEMORANDUM TO: Heritage Preservation Commission FROM:Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator/HPC Staff Liaison DATE: November 10, 2016 RE: Local Designation for Gladstone Savanna INTRODUCTION A 2016 goal for theHeritage Preservation Commission (HPC)is to designate Gladstone Savanna as a locally significant historic site. BACKGROUND In 2015, the HPC developed procedures, eligibility criteria, and an application form for the City’s local designation program. This program honors and protects historic buildings and sites that are significant locally. Locally designated sites requirea review by the HPC prior to alteration. The designation process for a given site includes: 1) preparation of the application form, 2) review of the application and HPC approval, 3)schedule and publish notice of public hearing, 4) council holds public hearing,5) designationby city council, and 6) review by State Historic Preservation Office. Commissioner John Gaspar and staff member Gaynor have prepared a draft application for Gladstone Savanna (Attachment 1). The HPC will review the draft application at the November 10, 2016 meeting. In your review commissioners should especially considerrequirements and definitions the HPC adopted for eligibility criteria and for integrity (Attachment 2). The HPC discussion will focus on content, not wordsmithing. Edits for grammar, clarity, and format should be submitted to staff after the meeting. In reviewing the application, keepin mind that local designation is for sites of historic significance. While all Maplewood history may be of interest, every site that has an intriguing story does not merit local designation.The Gladstone siteapplication has been prepared indicating that the site is significant for its industrial history and the archeological features on the site that demonstrate that history. Thetimeframe of significance we note in the application is the time the site was used as railroad shops, 1887-1915. The interpretive signage being developed for the park will celebrate a longer history, but the goal of designating the site locally is to protect and preserve the archeological features of the site related to the railroad history. F3 After the November review by the Commission, staff will make changes and additions agreed upon by the commission. In addition, staff will add more detailed information to the Architectural History Survey/Inventory of Structures, and add maps and photographs. Afinal draft of the application will be presented to the HPC at the December meeting for review and recommendation. A public hearing wouldthen be scheduled for January 2017. RECOMMENDATION Review, discuss, and suggest changes to the draft applicationforlocal designation for the Gladstone Savanna site.

This was once the site of the Gladstone Shops of the St. Paul and Duluth Railroad, which built and repaired locomotives and railway cars. No structures from the shops remain; this is an archeological site with many foundations from the Shops intact underground. In the late 1860’s, the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad was one of the first railroads built in Minnesota. By 1870, the tracks between St. Paul and Duluth were completed. This railroad later became the St. Paul and Duluth Railroad. In 1884, the Wisconsin Central Railway laid is east-west track across this line, creating a junction ½ block from the Gladstone Savanna site. Gloster Depot was erected at this junction. These railways no longer exist but both corridors are now trails—the Gateway State Trail, and the Vento Trail. The Gladstone Shops were constructed 1887-1888. The original shopsin St. Paul were not adequate to service the railroad and the Gladstone site was selected because it was the closest site near St. Paul that waslevelandlarge enough. The Gladstone Shops were a grouping of several structures. They included a 25-stall roundhouse and a large building with erecting shop, machine shop, woodworking shop, wheel shop, tin shop, boiler shop, tool room, shavings, steam engine, kettles. Other structures on site included a 640’ deep well, blacksmith shop, paint shop, repair shop, store th The main buildings were built of yellow brickin 19 room and office, and various sheds. Century Industrial Architecturalstyle. Thebuilding of the Gladstone Shops opened the door for growth inthe Gladstone area. In June 1887, Gladstone Land Company platted the area and built 50 frame and terra cotta dwellings for employees of the Gladstone Shops, the St. Paul Plow Works and other became the centerof the communitywhich later became businesses. This area Maplewood. The St. Paul and Duluth Railroad was acquired by the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1900. The shops remained in operation until 1915 and beginning in 2016 the buildings were leased by other companies. During the 1940’s most of the track, as well as the boiler room, engine room, smoke stack, and roundhouse were removed from the site, and a steel water tower was installed. In 1979, the structure remaining on the site were demolished. In 2001,the well was located and was sealed The City of Maplewood purchased the site for open space in 1995, and it became Gladstone Savanna Neighborhood Preserve. Maplewood City Council approved a Site Master Plan in 2011. Prior to construction of trails and soil remediation in 2012, a ground-penetrating radar F3, Attachment 1 study documented foundations from the roundhouse and the eastern wall of the machine shop. That study was followed by archeological monitoring and visual reconnaissance, which documented 37 features including intact foundations. The Archeological Site Form is attached. ThePreserve’s design thoughtfully reflects the site’s history and was designed to pique curiosity and excite people about the site’s industrial history. Trails are linear or broad sweeping arcs; patterns on some of the walkways mark whererailroad tracks once crossed the site; a sitting area reflects the rays of the roundhouse; short grass prairie marks the former footprint of the main shop building and mid-height prairie plants recall the vegetation that flourished in this neighborhood during the heyday of the shops. Interpretive signage is being developed for the site. Oncesigns are installed,a person walking through GladstoneSavannawillbetter understand what once occupied this space and the present day design of the site will help them connect to and imagine the past. 3.ArchitecturalHistorySurvey/Inventory of structures on site.Foreach,pleaseaddress: a.Year builtStarted in 1887, completed in 1888 th b.

NOTE –Staff will add information to the above section, including listing of buildings and information on features identified in the archeological reports 4.Narrative Statementof Significance(Explainwhicheligibilitycriteriain#7above apply andwhy) This site is significant for the archeological features that remain underground from the Gladstone Shops that were built in 1887 and used to build and repair train cars through 1915.The following eligibility criteria make the site historically significant. a.The property is associated with significant events or period that exemplifies broad patterns of cultural, political, economic or social history. The Gladstone Shops site was one of the first industrial sites in Maplewood. It brought people to live in this area. The site’s archeological features are a testament to the economic activities that occurred on the site. F3, Attachment 1 b.The property’s character, interest or value is part of the history or cultural heritage of the city, state, or nation. This site was one of the first industrial sites in Maplewood. It spurred residential and economic development in the area and is part of the historic center of Maplewood. In addition, the site plays a role in Minnesota’s transportation history, since the shops served the rail line from St. Paul to Duluth, which impacted economic development and patterns of growth in the state. c.The property embodies distinctive characteristics of an architectural or engineering type or style, or elements of design, detail materials, method of construction, or craftsmanship. While no structures remain above ground, foundations on the site provide examples of industrial design, constructionand materials from the late 1880’s. d.The property has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. This archeological site has provided information on construction and materials used in industrial buildings in the late 1800’s. It is believed additional features exist, which have not yet been documented. The site has potential to yield historical information related to railroad districts in Minnesota, including but not limited to construction and engineering practices and historic economic and environmental processes. 5.Level of Significance.Indicate significance of the site for any of the following that apply and explain why. This site is in the heart of the Gladstoneneighborhood, a a.Neighborhood. neighborhood that identifies with the areawhere the Gladstone Shops werelocated. Withoutthe Gladstone Shops the areamightnot have developed when it did and as it did. b.City of Maplewood. The Gladstone Shops provided jobs that brought people to settle in this area. This area is considered by many to be the historic center of Maplewood due to early industry and residential development. c.Minnesota. The site is significant at the state level since the Gladstone Shops served the St. Paul and Duluth Railway. The railway linked St. Paul andDuluth, creating a fast and efficient connection between Lake Superior and the head of navigation on the Mississippi River. This influenced development and settlement patterns in the state. d.National.The site is potentially of national significance in its ability to yield historical information related to railroad districts in Minnesota, including but not limited to construction and engineering practices and historic economic and environmental processes. 6.Narrative Statement of Integrity. Integrity refers to the ability of a property to convey its significance. Address each of the following (your site does nothave to meet all these to qualify). 1)Location. This site has integrity of location. Foundations exist underground in the location where they were constructed. 2)Design. This site has integrity of design. The archeological investigations documented foundations that correspond to historic maps showing the layout of buildings on the site. There were some areas of rubble that were not in situ foundations, but foundations F3, Attachment 1 from the roundhouse, and an excavated foundation of the machine shop wall, matched the historic spatial arrangement of the buildings on the site and were intact. 3)Setting. This site has integrity of setting. Thesite was selected for the Gladstone Shops because it was a large, flat area close to St. Paul. It remains today a large, flat, relatively open area. The site has been restored to native prairie and savanna, which were the predominant vegetation here when the shops were built. 4)Materials. This site has integrity of materials. The archeological investigation documented different types of foundations including: limestone blocks, limestone slabs, poured concrete slabs, as well as some brick and mortar and concrete foundations. 5)Workmanship. This site has integrity of workmanship. The archeological investigation documented three different types of foundation construction. This has potential to add th to construction knowledge of late 19 century industrial buildings. 6)Feeling. The site does not have integrity of feeling. Today it is a peaceful parkland. During its use as the Gladstone Shops, it would have been occupied by large brick buildings, tracks, railway cars, and would have been noisy and smelly. 7)Associational. The site does not have integrity of association. 7.Bibliographic references if applicable (To be included in Draft 2) 8.Photographs (To be included in Draft 2) F3, Attachment 1 F3, Attachment 2 Attachment 3 Department of Interior’s Explanation of Integrity as relates to sites on the National Register (Text from www.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/nrb15/nrb15_8.htm) 1.Locationis the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understanding why the property was created or why something happened. The actual location of a historic property, complemented by its setting, is particularly important in recapturing the sense of historic events and persons. Except in rare cases, the relationship between a property and its historic associations is destroyed if the property is moved. (See Criteria Consideration B in Part VII:How to Apply the Criteria Considerations, for the conditions under which a moved property can be eligible.) 2.Designis the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property (or its significant alteration) and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials. A property's design reflects historic functions and technologies as well as aesthetics. It includes such considerations as the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; textures and colors of surface materials; type, amount, and style of ornamental detailing; and arrangement and type of plantings in a designed landscape. Design can also apply to districts, whether they are important primarily for historic association, architectural value, information potential, or a combination thereof. For districtssignificant primarily for historic association or architectural value, design concerns more than just the individual buildings or structures located within the boundaries. It also applies to the way in which buildings, sites, or structures are related: for example, spatial relationships between major features; visual rhythms in a streetscape or landscape plantings; the layout and materials of walkways and roads; and the relationship of other features, such as statues, water fountains, and archeological sites. 3.Settingis the physical environment of a historic property.Whereas location refers to the specific place where a property was built or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space. F3, Attachment 2 Setting often reflects the basic physical conditions under which a property was built and the functions it was intended to serve. In addition, the way in which a property is positioned in its environment can reflect the designer's concept of nature and aesthetic preferences. The physical features that constitute the setting of a historic property can be either natural or manmade, including such elements as: Topographic features (a gorge or the crest of a hill); Vegetation; Simple manmade features (paths or fences); and Relationships between buildings and other features or open space. These features and their relationships should be examined not only within the exact boundaries of the property, but also between the property and its surroundings. This is particularly important for districts. 4.Materialsare the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.The choice and combination of materials reveal the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of particular types of materials and technologies. Indigenous materials are often the focus of regional building traditions and thereby help define an area's sense of time and place. A property must retain the key exterior materials dating from the period of its historic significance. If the property has been rehabilitated, the historic materials and significant features must have been preserved. The property must also be an actual historic resource, not a recreation; a recent structure fabricated to look historic is not eligible. Likewise, a property whose historic features and materials have been lost and then reconstructed is usually not eligible. (See Criteria Consideration E in Part VII:How to Apply the Criteria Considerationsfor the conditions under which a reconstructed property can be eligible.) 5.Workmanshipis the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.It is the evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure, object, or site. Workmanship can apply to the property as a whole or to its individual components. It can be expressed in vernacular methods of construction and plain finishes or in highly sophisticated configurations and ornamental detailing. It can be based on common traditions or innovative period techniques. Workmanship isimportant because it can furnish evidence of the technology of a craft, illustrate the aesthetic principles of a historic or prehistoric period, and reveal individual, local, regional, or national applications of both technological practices and aestheticprinciples. Examples of workmanship in historic buildings include tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning, and joinery. Examples of workmanship in prehistoric contexts include Paleo-Indian clovis projectile points; Archaic period F3, Attachment 2 beveled adzes; Hopewellian birdstone pipes; copper earspools and worked bone pendants; and Iroquoian effigy pipes. 6.Feelingis a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. For example, a rural historic district retaining original design, materials, workmanship, and setting will relate the feeling of agricultural life in the 19th century. A grouping of prehistoric petroglyphs, unmarred by graffiti and intrusions and located on its original isolated bluff, can evoke a sense of tribal spiritual life. 7.Associationis the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. For example, a Revolutionary War battlefield whose natural and manmade elements have remained intact since the 18th century will retain its quality of association with the battle. Because feeling and association depend on individual perceptions, their retention alone is never sufficient to support eligibility of a property for the National Register.
