St. Paul's 900-Ton Mansion Crawled Five Blocks to Dodge the Wrecking Ball

A 900-ton Victorian duplex once crept through downtown St. Paul at a crawling 20 feet per hour, lifted with hydraulic jacks and conveyed on wheeled dollies past onlookers, to escape a date with the wrecking ball. Twenty-five years later, the Armstrong-Quinlan House still stands in the Irvine Park neighborhood — though its path there, and the years of struggle that followed, make for one of the stranger chapters in the city's preservation history.

The buyer of a Minneapolis skyscraper has skipped paying property taxes

The local company that bought the Ameriprise Financial Center skyscraper nearly two years ago for a shockingly low price of $6.25 million has missed both property tax payments this year, according to county data. Why it matters: This is another sign of distress for downtown Minneapolis' office market and helps explain why buildings are trading for so little. You can buy a 31-story tower for $6.25 million, but then you have to pay a property tax bill of $1.5 million, plus energy, maintenance and security costs. The intrigue: It's unclear why Minnetonka-based Onward Investors didn't make two $777,118 tax payments that were due in May and October. It also owes $155,438 in late fees, according to Hennepin County records as of Friday. The firm is current on its taxes for the nearby iconic Wells Fargo Center, which it bought around the same time. Onward did not respond to multiple requests for comment. What they're saying: The city said it wouldn't comment because there's an appeal filed by the landlord in Minnesota Tax Court. However, the city did not provide a case number when asked. Between the lines: It's easy to see why Onward is appealing the valuation. The city's 2026

New rental repair ordinance gives St. Paul renters leverage

St. Paul voters overwhelmingly approved a new "right-to-repair" ordinance , handing tenants a lot more leverage over their landlords when something breaks in their rental housing. Yes, but: The real thrust of the ordinance won't be renters fixing washing machines themselves, but rather to compel their landlords to do it faster. Catch up quick: The Safe Homes St. Paul campaign pitched its proposal as a "break in case of emergency" solution for renters dealing with egregious neglect. Under the language , tenants will be able to deduct half-a-month's rent to pay for repairs if their landlord doesn't fix them after 14 days' written notice. What they're saying: Duluth enacted a similar ordinance a year ago, and the main effect has been to spur landlords into action so tenants don't contract out the work themselves, St. Paul campaign coordinator Cole Hanson tells Axios. "I don't know another business where you cannot respond to your customers for two weeks and stay in business," Hanson says. "Utilization is going to be low," predicts Minnesota Multi Housing president Cecil Smith, who opposed the St. Paul proposal. He says most property owners and managers are diligent about repairs. Friction points: If tenants do flex their
