MEMORANDUM
TO: Heritage Preservation Commission
FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant
DATE: June 5, 2018
SUBJECT: Country Club District Re-survey
When the Country Club District was designated an Edina Heritage Landmark in 2003, the city
council directed the Heritage Preservation Board (now the HPC) to conduct a resurvey of the
district every 10 years. The purpose of the resurvey was two-fold: (1) to review and re-evaluate
the effectiveness of the district plan of treatment; and (2) to identify information gaps in the
heritage landmark registration documents that can be filled by historical research or field survey.
While the plan of treatment review is essentially a staff exercise, there is no reason that HPC
members (and other community volunteers) cannot carry out a significant portion of the re-
survey, working independently or in small groups. To this end, I have developed the following
list of the six most important information gaps for your consideration:
1) Develop a more complete and fully documented biography of developer Samuel S.
Thorpe and his company, Thorpe Bros.
2) While approximately 500 of the restrictive covenants executed between 1924 and 1944
were recorded by the county assessor, very little (in fact almost nothing) is known about
how the process actually worked. For example, did Sam Thorpe personally approve all
building plans prior to his death in 1934? How did the district homeowner association
function? Are there any written records?
3) Besides Mr. Thorpe, who were the principal members of the Country Club design team
during 1922-24 and what were their roles in the project?
4)
in 1926 individually significant and therefore eligible for landmark designation? (The
historical associations are fairly well documented; but do the individual houses retain
sufficient integrity of the design elements, aesthetic qualities and materials necessary to
show their individual significance?)
5) About 5% of the homes built in the district during its period of historical significance are
believed to have been designed by licensed professional architects or engineers
(including Liebenberg & Kaplan, Cyril B. Pesek, Milton Sundin, Bard & Vanderbilt, C.
W. Farnham, Charles Trownridge, Rollin C. Chapin, A. R. Van Dycke, Architects Small
House Service Bureau). It would be helpful to generate a list of architects/engineers
(from building permit records) and collect biographical information about them.
6) It would also be helpful to have a compilation of information about the builders and
contractors who worked in the district between the 1920s and 1940s (notable home
builders include Anton Duoos, Carl Hansen, Peter A. Christianson, H. R. Rosendahl,
2
Morris Trach, Henry D. Roach, H. F. Nelson, Louis L. Hansen, M. R. McDonald, Herb
Thompson).
Much of the information needed to fill these gaps probably exists in the back issues of Twin
Cities newspapers, city building permit and assessor records, and trade periodicals; a good deal
of this archival material is available in digital format or online. Of course, we also have the
original National Register survey report and inventory forms from 1980, which is probably the
place to start.

EDINA HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
REVISED HERITAGE PRESERVATION PLAN (DRAFT) August 2018 INTRODUCTION
The mission of the city heritage preservation program is to preserve Edina’s heritage resources by protecting historically significant buildings, sites, structures, objects and districts. The Edina Heritage Preservation Commission (formerly the Heritage Preservation Board) is a seven-
member body appointed by the Mayor to advise the City Council, City Manager, and other City
boards and commissions on all matters relating to the protection, management and enhancement of heritage resources. The centerpiece of the city preservation program is the Edina Heritage Landmarks registry, which is essentially the local government equivalent of the National Register of Historic Places. Properties are designated Heritage Landmarks or Heritage
Landmark Districts by the Edina City Council, upon nomination by the Heritage Preservation
Commission. The Heritage Landmark program is administered by the city’s planning department. The terms historic property and heritage resource are used interchangeably and refer to
buildings, sites, structures, objects and districts that are of historical, architectural,
archaeological, or cultural interest. The Edina Heritage Landmark program focuses solely on the preservation, protection and use of heritage resources which meet established criteria for historical significance and integrity. For a property to qualify for registration as a Heritage Landmark, it must meet at least one of the preservation ordinance eligibility criteria by being
associated with an important historic context and by retaining integrity of those physical features
necessary to convey its significance. If the property appears to qualify for landmark registration, the Heritage Preservation Commission directs its staff to prepare a written nomination report, which is submitted to the City Council. Following a public hearing, the council may formally designate a landmark by resolution.
The purpose of this document is to help decision-makers plan for the wise use of heritage resources. The comprehensive plan is a critical community development planning tool because it provides a framework for making sound decisions. The preservation plan also helps to improve city officials’ understanding and awareness of the role heritage preservation plays in the delivery
of important municipal services. Perhaps even more importantly, a plan that is truly
comprehensive in scope and integrated with other city planning will provide an efficient and effective means of evaluating the performance of the heritage preservation program. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
1. Heritage resources are scarce, non-renewable cultural resources and should be treated as critical assets for community development.
2
2. Heritage preservation is an important public service and a legitimate responsibility of city
government.
3. Not everything that is old is worth preserving: strategic planning for heritage preservation must focus on historically significant heritage resources.
4. Saving significant historic properties for the benefit of future generations will always be
in the public interest.
5. Effective heritage preservation policies are those which create partnerships between the owners of heritage resources as city government.
6. Heritage preservation is about people, not things—significant historic resources should
be preserved and protected, and used in a manner consistent with community values. PROGRAM GOALS AND POLICIES
The city heritage preservation program is organized into six program areas: preservation
planning, identification of heritage resources, evaluation of heritage resources, designation of heritage landmarks, design review and compliance, and public education and outreach. The organizational format reflects the Secretary of the Interior’s standards and guidelines for historic preservation as well as current professional practices in heritage preservation planning
Preservation Planning Goals:
1. Adopt a Heritage Preservation Plan.
2. Integrate heritage preservation planning with other city planning for community development.
3. Develop strategies and establish priorities for the restoration and rehabilitation of City-
owned heritage resources.
4. Participate in the federal-state-local government heritage preservation partnership. Policies:
a) The City Council will adopt and maintain a Heritage Preservation Plan as part of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. b) All preservation program activities will be carried out in a manner consistent with the
comprehensive plan.
3
c) The City will use the Heritage Preservation Plan to establish policies, procedures, and
plans for managing the preservation, protection, and use of significant heritage resources.
d) The Heritage Preservation Plan will establish local historic contexts and the Heritage Preservation Commission will undertake research to revise and update these study units.
e) The City will provide the Heritage Preservation Commission with the resources needed to
prepare and implement the comprehensive heritage preservation plan.
f) Because comprehensive planning is a continuous cycle, the Heritage Preservation Commission will periodically review and update the Heritage Preservation Plan.
g) The City will continue to participate in the Certified Local Government (CLG) program
and cooperate with neighboring cities and other communities in development their heritage preservation programs. Identification of Heritage Resources
Goals:
Identify, locate and collect information regarding significant heritage resources worthy of consideration in community planning.
Policies: a) The Heritage Preservation Commission will carry out a comprehensive survey of heritage resources within the city limits and maintain an inventory of all properties recorded.
b) The Heritage Preservation Commission will establish survey goals and priorities based on historic contexts.
c) The results of heritage resource surveys will be systematically gathered, recorded, and
made available to those responsible for heritage preservation planning.
d) The City will provide greater access to the information generated by the heritage resources survey by investing in the technological infrastructure that will bring the information to all users who obtain information through the Internet.
e) The City will make the heritage resources inventory data adaptable for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users and map the location of heritage resources and their relationship to other layers of information.
f) All surveys will be carried out by personnel who meet the Secretary of the Interior’s
Professional Qualifications Standards (or other applicable qualification standards) within their professional field.
4
Evaluation of Heritage Resources
Goals: 1. All heritage resources identified by survey will be evaluated for heritage landmark
eligibility using established criteria applied within historic contexts.
2. The Heritage Preservation Commission will maintain an accurate, up-to-date inventory and map depicting the heritage resources evaluated as significant, including all properties designated or determined eligible for designation as heritage landmarks.
Policies: a) For each property evaluated as eligible for heritage landmark designation the Heritage Preservation Commission will issue a finding of significance with a report documenting
its location, ownership, date of construction, the relevant historic context and property
type, and the criteria on which the finding of significance was based. b) Determinations of landmark eligibility may be provisional and it may be necessary for the Heritage Preservation Commission to conduct additional studies prior to initiating
the landmark nomination process.
Designation of Heritage Landmarks Goals:
Significant heritage resources will be designated Edina Heritage Landmarks or Landmark Districts.
Policies:
a) The Heritage Preservation Commission will nominate significant historic properties for designation as Heritage Landmarks or Landmark Districts by the City Council.
b) A landmark nomination study will be completed for each property nominated; the
nomination study will locate and identify the subject property, explain how it meets one or more of the landmark eligibility criteria, and make the case for historic significance and integrity.
c) Each landmark nomination study will include a Plan of Treatment that will recommend
property-specific approaches to design review and treatment.
d) Except in extraordinary circumstances, the Heritage Preservation Commission will not nominate a property for landmark designation without the consent of the owner.
5
e) The City may, upon recommendation by the Heritage Preservation Commission,
nominate properties for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
Design Review and Compliance Goals:
1. Protect Heritage Landmarks and Landmark Districts through design review and compliance with heritage preservation standards. 2. Carry out public facilities maintenance and construction projects in such a manner that
significant heritage preservation resources are preserved and protected.
3. Encourage voluntary compliance with historic preservation treatment standards. Policies:
a) The City will take all necessary steps to ensure that no significant heritage preservation resource is destroyed or damaged as a result of any project for which a Certificate of Appropriateness has been issued by the HPC.
b) The City will develop partnerships with property owners to develop preservation plans
for their properties, advise them about approached used in similar preservation projects, and provide technical assistance in historic property rehabilitation and restoration treatments.
c) The Heritage Preservation Commission will work closely with the Planning Commission
and other citizen advisory boards and commissions to ensure that heritage resource management issues are taken into account in planning for development projects.
d) Every application for a preliminary plat, rezoning, conditional use permit, or variance from the zoning code that may affect an Edina Heritage Landmark or Landmark District
will be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission, which will advise the Planning Commission whether or not the requested action will have an adverse effect on a significant heritage preservation resource.
e) When demolition or site destruction cannot be avoided, careful consideration will be
given to mitigating the loss by moving the affected heritage resource to another location, recording it prior to demolition, or by salvaging architectural elements or archaeological data for reuse or curation.
f) In cases involving permits that are not subject to design review, a reasonable effort will be made to preserve and protect important historical, architectural, archaeological, and
cultural features.
6
g) The Heritage Preservation Commission and its staff will work with the city manager, city
engineer, community development director, and others to ensure that heritage
preservation resources are taken into account in project planning.
h) The Heritage Preservation Commission and its staff will review voluntary requests for design review of work that would not ordinarily be subject to regulation under the
heritage preservation ordinance and issue Certificates of Appropriateness for projects that
meet preservation treatment standards.
i) The City will consider financial incentives for the preservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive use of heritage resources, including but not limited to tax incentives, grants,
loans, easements, and subsidies.
Public Education and Outreach Goals:
1. Provide the public with information about heritage preservation resources and public history education activities. Policies:
a) The Heritage Preservation Commission will design and maintain a high-quality heritage preservation page on the City’s website. b) The Heritage Preservation Commission will develop facilities and programs that interpret
heritage resources for the public.
c) The HPC will partner with the Edina Historical Society, neighborhood groups, and other community organizations with shared interests in the preservation, protection, and use of historic properties or to develop effective public education and outreach programs.
d) All current heritage resource survey reports and other studies carried out under the auspices of the Heritage Preservation Commission will be published or made available to the public through other appropriate media such as the City’s website. HISTORIC CONTEXTS Historic contexts are the cornerstone of the preservation planning process. Historic contexts have been used since ancient times to organize information about historical events and to provide a rational framework for evaluating their importance. In the field of heritage preservation, historic contexts are planning constructs used to develop goals and priorities for the
identification, evaluation, registration and treatment of historic resources. The City of Edina has employed a contextual approach to preservation planning since the 1970s. The initial statement of local historic contexts has been continuously refined, modified, added to, and elaborated on as new information and interpretations have become available.
7
Edina historic contexts are organized in a two-tiered format. Tier 1 historic contexts represent
broad, general themes in Edina history and are organized around the concept of historic landscapes to denote a holistic, or ecosystem approach focusing on changing patterns of land use. Conceptually, each study unit represents a different historical environment within the 12,000-year arc of Edina area history, from the end of the last ice age to the present day. The Tier 1
contexts emphasize linking general categories of heritage resources with important broad
patterns that describe major changes in the relationships between people and their surroundings. The first-tier historic contexts are city-wide in geographic scope:
American Indian Cultural Traditions, 10,000 BCE to AD 1862
Agriculture and Rural Life, 1851 to 1959
Suburbanization, 1883 to the present
Tier 2 historic contexts are more narrowly defined thematically, chronologically, and geographically. As their names indicate, these study units represent aspects of Edina history that are reflected in the kinds of heritage resources found at particular locations. In contrast with the Tier 1 study units, there is more emphasis on the development of neighborhoods and the characteristics of specific types of heritage resources. The Tier 2 historic contexts are:
Edina Mills, 1857 to 1932
Morningside, 1905 to 1966
Country Club District, 1922-1944
Southdale, 1952 to 1975
Country Clubs and Parks, 1909 to 50 years before the present
Minnehaha Creek, 10,000 BCA to 50 years before the present
Postwar Residential Neighborhoods, 1945 to 1975
Midcentury Modern Architecture and Landscapes, 1934 to 1975
Edina’s Recent Past, 1975 to the present
Morningside Bungalows, 1905 to 1930 A number of new historic contexts are currently being developed for the identification and
evaluation of specific types of historic resources, such as churches, Cold War fallout shelters, American Foursquare style houses, and the Works Progress Administration. HERITAGE RESOURCES INVENTORY
Between 1972 and 2018, the Edina heritage preservation program carried out more than a dozen major studies to survey historic properties. As used in preservation planning, survey refers to the process of identifying and gathering information on a community’s heritage resources. It includes field survey (the physical search for and recording of historic properties) as well as historical research in documentary sources. An inventory is one of the basic products of a
survey. As of 2018, more than 600 historic properties within the Edina city limits have been investigated as part of surveys sponsored by the Heritage Preservation Commission. The following properties have been designated Edina Heritage Landmarks:

IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES 1. Carry out a systematic city-wide survey to identify and evaluate the heritage preservation
value of buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts.
2. Designate historically significant properties as Edina Heritage Landmarks or Heritage Landmark Districts.
3. Improve partnerships with other agencies, organizations, and individual property owners
to ensure that historically significant heritage resources are preserved, protected, and used in a manner that is consistent with appropriate preservation standards. 4. Update the information in the heritage resources inventory and convert it to a digital
format so that it can be conveniently manipulated, used, and retrieved.
5. Create a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the heritage resources inventory.
6. Redirect the resources of the Heritage Preservation Commission toward an increased
emphasis on education and technical assistance programming aimed at historic property
owners.
7. Use existing planning tools more effectively and create a better “tool box” to address emerging heritage preservation challenges.
8. Provide better public access to heritage preservation information using appropriate
media.
11
9. Explore economic incentives for the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and
reconstruction of privately owned heritage resources.
10. Initiate innovative demonstration projects and disseminate information about the economic and cultural benefits of heritage preservation.
