Intensive Level Survey of Paust's Rearrangement of Saint Paul

Developed by Benjamin A. Paust during the Great Depression, the development of these 25 homes was shaped by local builders and populated primarily by middle-class professionals.

Saint Paul African American Historic & Cultural Context

Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development.

The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.
