Historic Context Pioneer Houses and Beyond 1854-1880
Introduction
This context describes the dwellings associated with St. Paul's first thirty years of development, from its earliest permanent settlement in the early 1850s to the modest real estate boom after the incorporation of the St. Paul Street Railway in 1872. By 1880, a real boom was underway with thousands of new immigrants and growing streetcar and municipal services. Within this 1854-1880 timeframe, the city's population grew from a few hundred to 40,000, and gained more than fifty churches, thirteen public schools and sixteen other schools and academies and well as hospitals, asylums and libraries. After 1880, the former low-density settlement of Old Stock Americans, Scotch-Irish and German-Americans was transformed by a new wave of GermanAmericans who were among the first groups to form the backbone of the area's industry, commerce, and community life.
The St. Paul Historic Resources database completed primarily by 1983 revealed that only about 120 properties pre-dating 1880 were inventoried, with dwellings the dominant building type represented. These early houses are found primarily in the neighborhoods near downtown but also in former agricultural corners of the city. They are of brick, stone, and frame construction and many have had significant exterior alterations.
The true pioneer period of St. Paul's residential development ended about 1865, as the city recovered from the Civil War and experienced great population and economic growth. Some of the houses included in this context were built more than a decade after the era ended, but they are nevertheless from a time when residential areas were generally confined to the core and edges of the once-compact river settlement. The surviving houses of the 1870.s were usually built on lots created on new bluff-top additions, especially after the first success of horse car service in 1872. Others are among the working-class, vernacular houses built near the railroad shops and in Uppertown.
This context study is not intended as a comprehensive essay on the architectural styles and building preferences of the period (that work is currently being undertaken by other historians). It is primarily an analysis of the survival of the properties listed in the Historic Resources Database, with recommendations for further research and designation related to this category of buildings. At present, there are approximately 6 houses recorded in the database from the 1850s, 16 from the 1860s, and 82 from the 1870s. One has a construction date of 1849. Accurate construction dates for houses of the early settlement are often hard to determine, and more than a few of these should be regarded as uncertain.
Most of the old central city has been completely redeveloped and cannot really be imagined-as in the cases of Lafayette Park and Woodland Avenue-and the landscape context of many early houses and other is historic buildings is very altered.
Sources
Research for this study relied on historic plats and maps, St. Paul histories, historic photographs, and newspapers. Many articles in Minnesota History and Ramsey County History as well as newspaper accounts have focused on early St. Paul houses. The 1983 Historic Sites Survey Report, several related National Register studies, and the St. Paul Historic Resource Database provided a good indication of what was extant in the early 1980s. The appendices of the Historic Sites Survey Report provide an analysis of pre-1875 buildings, Greek Revival and ltalianate houses, and farmhouses. (All of the following historic photographs are from the Minnesota Historical Society.)

Early Landscape and Architectural Setting
In 1875, historian J. Fletcher Williams noted that the period from 1840 to 1849 "may be called the Arcadian days of Minnesota. The primitive, easy-going simplicity of the people, isolated as they were, from the fashions, vices and artificial life of the bustling world was in strange contrast with the jostling throng of immigration that poured in a few months later, changing their steady-going habits and plain manners into a maddening, avaricious race for gold."1
Situated at the head of river navigation downriver from the villages at the Falls of St. Anthony, St. Paul had a powerful position first as a center of steamboat trade and soon as a railroad hub. In 1849, St. Paul was confirmed as the capital of the Territory of Minnesota. The newly founded Pioneer encouraged immigrants "to bring tents and bedding, as it is utterly impossible to hire a building in any part of the village, although builders are at work in every direction, completing houses."2
By 1855, when the population stood at 4,716, and the nearest rail connection was still at Galena, Illinois, the spring navigation brought unprecedented immigration, an event repeated seasonally until1857. Williams described this "wonderful immigration" lasting between 1855 and 1857, with the demand for land and speculation increasing. Real estate was a standard for credit and solvency, despite "an eminently unhealthy and artificial state of affairs ... the rate of interest was extremely high, five per cent per month being the usual accorded rate." Eleven banks were in operation by 1856 and, as Williams remembered, there was little good money in circulation. By 1857, St. Paul had 343 buildings, the majority of which were probably dwellings. The need for bridges, graded streets and lighting, and sanitation were among imminent municipal needs.
Williams reported, "the mechanics could not turn out the buildings fast enough for people to get shelter in." While the Panic of 1857 put a dent in the real estate enthusiasm, Fletcher's and others' early reports continue quite optimistically, especially with the arrival of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in 1862, until the economic and building decline during the Civil War.
St. Paul's early settlement was organized around the Upper and Lower levees, with a rough network of territorial roads leading to points such as Stillwater, St. Anthony Falls, and Point Douglas. Early photographs by Benjamin Upton (1857) and others document the rutted and muddy streets, and the very unpretentious collection of early buildings. Initially, all classes lived in close proximity: the dwellings of laborer, land speculator, and lawyer were typically adjacent to each other as well as stores, lumber yards, and cattle pens.
The first plat of St. Paul was made in 1847 by Ira and Benjamin Brunson, and a number of additions followed. The owners of the plats provided building lots near both landings. With poor roads and steep grades, the blufftop sites were nearly inaccessible. The desire to build outside the area around the landings was strong; in 1853, J. Wesley Bond was among those who praised the hills, observing "nature never planned a spot better adapted to build up a showy and delightful display of architecture and gardening than that natural terrace of hills."3 By 1859, there were six houses on the edge of the bluff on Summit Avenue, but residents took a circuitous route to reach their homes via Rice or Third streets. Dayton's Bluff also had a small number of houses in the 1860s and 1860s. All this would change in the 1870s with horsecar service and new real estate additions.
Illus. 1. View of St. Paul, 1851. A few log as well as very simple frame buildings are shown. Razed.
The short first generation of building, as in most pioneer settlements, was of log. The construction of sawmills and the organization of the lumber industry proceeded rapidly through the 1850s, and log structures were replaced by those of sawn lumber. St. Paul's first frame building, built of hand-hewn lumber, was erected for Louis Robert by Charles Bazille in 1844. Despite several currency crises, permanent and comfortable dwellings were erected in the e1850s, and very stylish ones by the 1860s.
