Historical Sites on the Corridor

The corridor features several historical sites that contribute to the character of downtown Saint Paul. The project team is committed to being mindful of the potential impacts on these landmarks. We welcome public input to help prioritize what matters most when considering changes to the roadway. Historic sites along the corridor include:

• New Astor Theater
• Eisenmenger Meat Market
• Fitzgerald Theater (formerly the Sam S. Schubert Theater)
• Minnesota Arts & Sciences Center
• History Theatre building
• Twin Cities Rapid Transit Company Building
• Colonnade Hotel
• Minnesota State Capitol Mall Historic District
• State Veterans Services Building

We are seeking feedback from the community: 

• What place along the corridor holds special meaning to you and why?
• What features on the street help tell the story of downtown’s history?
