There are, however, a few people in the
city who remember these little structures

they were modern structures in COM

that IN q year or two will bear the dis
tinction of being the oldest building IN
the city, as those which are now older are
wooden structures and cannot stand for
many years even if they are not torn
down to make room for other structures.
Another building in lower town which
bears tho distinction of being fifty years
old is the little frame building that
stands on the northwest corner of Fourth
and Minnesota streets. 1t was erected by
a German whose name seems to have
passed from the minds of the people who
knew the town in the days when he was
conducting a saloon at that place. While
his name has been forgotten yet there is
a story connected with his death which
is still remembered by the older people lf
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-02-02

The act SO enraged the church people
that they threatened to lynch the saloon
keeper The Intervention of the clergy,
however, prevented such an act.
''The matter was dropped at the time,
but a few days later the man dropped
dead behind his own bar. Then every
body said that he had been killed by the
judgment of God. The sudden death
caused q great deal of comment and gos-
sip at the time, but in few years was
entirely forgotten"
After the death of the German who
erected the building mentioned above, the
place was purchased by John Casey, who
had saloon there for a number of years.
He made several additions to the build
ing from time to time. Since that time

FOUR OF ST. PAUL'S LANDMARKS.

The progress of industries in any city
usually has the effect of destroying all
or at least nearly all of the landmarks
of early times. Such is the case in ST.
Paul. Although the city is but little more
than half century old, there are but
few buildings in the city that are remains
Of the little village which occupied this
site in the early SOS. Nearly all of the
modest little structures that stood here
during the decade from 1850 to 1860 have
been torn down and in their stead noble
structures, the indicators of industry and
business success, have been erected
There are, however, a few buildings in
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-02-02

it has been used for various purposes
and is now occupied as a confectionery
and tobacco store.
These old buildings are about all that
remains for the younger generation to
see of the-days when ST. Paul was but a
country village. OF course it will be put
the matter of few years until they will
have to give way to the irresistible prog
ress CT industry and their places will be
occupied by grander buildings which Will
be credit to the city. But to the old set
tiers no building, however large, grand
and beautiful it may be, viii seem as
dear to him as do these little frame build
ings.

rell. Mr.. Terrell lived there number
of years, and then moved to Lake City,
where he is still living at the age Of
ninety -four years.
Another building that is over fifty years
old is the stone warehouse at the foot of
Jackson street, which is now occupied by
Jung's Brewing company as a stora-
house. This building was erected by
Louis Robert in 1851 as a storeroom
Since that time it has been used
for various purposes. The building is con-
structed of stone, and it is quite probable

ures even as they do the memories of
the old days, and hope that they will not
be compelled to see their destruction.
AS near as T n e o b has been
able to ascertain, the Oldest building now
standing in the city is little frame
structure, one story high, that stands
on Fifth street, between Robert anl
jackson streets, just east of the Man
haitian building. 1t was built in the
fall of 1S4S, or possibly early in the spring
of 1919 by DR. w. II. Jarvis, who used
1t as a drug store. 1t was also his
