Ramsey is home to an historic building from the mid-1800s that originally served as a one-room schoolhouse before it was repurposed for use as the Ramsey Town Hall (and, briefly, city hall) in the twentieth century. The building now sits vacant, and the City of Ramsey wanted an assessment of the building to determine if it is still structurally sound and historically significant. Students in Todd Grover’s Historic Building Conservation course conducted a building conditions assessment survey and recommended restoration and preservation treatments based on their findings. The students’ report and presentation are available.Item Historic Wilson Farmstead: Anoka County, MN(Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2017) Noormohammadi, Ali; Nystrom, Ali; Deacon, Catherine; Jensen, SteveThis project was completed as part of the 2017-2018 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Ramsey. Ramsey is home to the historic Wilson Family Farmstead, which has been repurposed in contemporary times as a business called Plants and Things. Because the property on which the farmstead is located is on U.S. Highway 10 and may be impacted by future improvements to this transportation corridor, the City of Ramsey wanted an assessment of the building to determine if it is still structurally sound and historically significant. Students in Todd Grover’s Historic Building Conservation course conducted a building conditions assessment survey and recommended restoration and preservation treatments based on their findings. The students’ report and presentation are available.Item The Mississippi Courts: Historically Capturing a Community and River Legacy(2005) Flynn, CaitlinItem North St Paul Oral History(2007) Stanich, NicoleItem Sustaining Our Legacy: The Future of Ramsey Town Hall(Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2017) Cutrufello, Mary; Molasky, Katriona; Van Gessel, AmyThis project was completed as part of the 2017-2018 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Ramsey. Only a few of the original houses and structures built in Ramsey remain today. The most notable structure of historic significance is the Old Ramsey Town Hall/District No. 28 Schoolhouse, located west of Highway 47 just north of County Road 116, in the far southeastern corner of the city. The structure was built in 1894, and was originally used as a one-room schoolhouse. The building served as the Ramsey Town Hall government building from 1947 to 1977, when the community finally outgrew the facility. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and underwent some renovation in 1996, but the building currently sits empty, with no plan for its future use or disposition. Students in Dr. Fernando Burga’s Land Use Planning class researched the role of the building in Ramsey's history, as well as previous renovation efforts; explored what is involved in creating a historic preservation commission to protect and preserve historic structures and landscapes; identified structural and site issues or limitations related to the building and potential adaptive reuses, and made recommendations for restoration and repair; identified potential adaptive reuses of the building in its current location; and considered the feasibility and propriety of relocating the building elsewhere in the community. The students’ final report is available.
