Dennis F. Dvorak was hired by the City of New Prague as a consultant to complete a ReconnaissanceSurvey of New Prague’s historic downtown. In addition to identifying buildings that may qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the survey will eventually lead to the development of a walking tour brochure of the historic downtown and its buildings. Eighty-nine buildings in 47.3 acres were surveyed in the historic commercial area as directed by the City of New Prague.

The survey includes the following information regarding each building in the historic commercial area: Aerial Map with location of each property surveyed with township, range, section and quarter sections Address of building Owner’s name and address Present use Historic use Date of construction General condition Style of Architecture Approximate dimensions Plan type Number of stories Foundation material Cladding Roof type and materials Chimneys Openings Notable exterior feature Additions and alterations to the exterior Orientation, general setting Outbuildings Landscape features Building History Condition of buildings Architectural integrity of buildings National Register eligibility Date surveyed Surveyor UTM - Pin Numbers for each building surveyed Where relevant, additional historical information was included on the previous tenants of the buildings and prior use of the property, with dates and historical photographs for reference when available.

The survey also provides a history of New Prague within the State Historic Context: Early Agriculture and River Settlement, 1840-1870 Railroads and Agriculture Development, 1870-1940

The boundaries of the reconnaissance survey area were provided by Ken Ondich, the planning director for the City of New Prague. Each building in the downtown area was surveyed using the criteria established by the Cultural Heritage Grant requirements. The survey was conducted by visiting each property, talking with each property owner whenever possible, interviewing family members associated with the property and/or occupants, reviewing abstracts when made available and researching the property through local histories. The field study of each property was conducted from June 2014 through September 2014. The information was compiled and reviewed from October 2014 through December of 2014. Historic photographs were re-searched, along with photographs of each property. Period photographs were obtained from the collection of the New Prague Area Historical Society.

Dennis F. Dvorak conducted all of the on-site Reconnaissance Surveys, researched each property, prepared each building survey, compiled the information and made recommendations for buildings to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Properties presently on the National Register of Historic Places in New Prague:

St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church Georgian Romanesque., church 1907, Rectory 1908 and Parochial School 1914 #82003035 Placed on the National Register February 19, 1982

EARLY AGRICULTURE AND RIVER SETTLEMENT; 1820 - 1870

New Prague and the neighboring communities along the Minnesota River were first visited by Jean Nicol-let, a French explorer who mapped Sand Creek. Sand Creek played an important role in the history of New Prague. Nicollet named Sand Creek “Batture aux fieves” or “shallow with fever.” The Dakota name for Sand Creek is “Chankiyata.” In 1860, the creek was called “Fever River.” Sand Creek begins it’s journey south of Montgomery and follows a northerly path through Le Sueur and Scott counties. Sand Creek empties into the Minnesota River at Louisville, a village established in 1855. Louisville, now a deserted village with rem-nants of stone buildings, is a regional park managed by Scott County along the Minnesota River between Shakopee and Jordan. The first settlers to arrive in New Prague followed an Indian path that began in Shako-pee. The path crossed Sand Creek in the vicinity of Jordan, MN and eventually ended at “Traverse des Sioux” in St. Peter. Settlers followed Sand Creek and tributaries into the interior of the Big Woods.

Land was made available by treaties with the Sioux at “Traverse des Sioux” and “Mendota” in 1851 and 1853. The treaties initiated the influx of settlers to New Prague and surrounding communities. The Big Woods provided settlers with game, shelter, and trees for constructing and heating their homes. The Big Woods bordered the prairies near the Minnesota River, west of New Prague.

Native Americans established villages on the edge of the Big Woods as the woods was infested with mos-quitos. The river was a gateway to land opened for settlement and an important means of transportation for settlers and Native Americans. The Big Woods extended from St. Cloud in the north to south of the Nerstrand Big Woods State Park in Rice County. The forty mile wide expanse of deciduous forest presented obstacles for Native Americans and settlers. Due to the density of the woods, early settlers had to mark trails from their homes to church and neighboring communities. Settlers found an abundance of large and small game in the woods surrounding New Prague.

GEOGRAPHY

New Prague is approximately 50 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The city is west of the Highway 35 corridor and south of Highway 169 and the City of Shakopee. The Minnesota River, north of New Prague, is an important geographical boundary that defines Scott, Le Sueur, and surrounding counties. New Prague is located in a fertile agricultural area with remaining stands of the Big Woods. Working farms continue to exist, though greatly diminished in number. The rolling hills, lakes, and wildlife habitat make the countryside desirable. County boundaries were established in 1854 and the City of New Prague was divided in two with Scott County on the north of Main Street and Le Sueur County on the south of Main Street. The town was platted without professional help, and as a result, many streets vary in alignment.

NATIVE AMERICAN SETTLEMENT

There were numerous Native American settlements near New Prague. Settlements were found north and south of the unincorporated community of St. Patrick in Scott County and three miles west of New Prague in Le Sueur County. An Indian trail traveled from St. Patrick through New Prague and Heidelberg to Traverse des Sioux in St. Peter. There was a Sioux lodge near the trail on the Nick Daleiden farm, one mile east of New Prague. Indians hunted on the Daleidan farm and on one occasion, an Indian came into conflict with an early settler.

Artifacts found in the area show an active Indian population producing flints, pottery, and calumet pipes. Early accounts of settlers indicate that Indians interacted with the settlers, trading goods, providing assis-tance, requesting food to supplement their diet and competing for game. The local Indians were part of the Shakopee band of the Mdewakanton Sioux.

EARLY SETTLEMENT

Anton Philipp, a native of Bavaria, was the first man to settle in New Prague after leaving Ohio in the spring of 1855. Philipp arrived in St. Paul after traveling the Mississippi River and disembarked on the Jackson Street levee. Phillip reportedly met with Bishop Cretin. Bishop Cretin was in charge of the diocese and priests sent to outlying settlements at that time. Cretin had knowledge of progress in the Minnesota Territo-ry and land dispersals for settlers to claim. Bishop Cretin informed Philipp of land available near Shakopee. Philipp eventually laid claim to land on a Raven Stream tributary to Sand Creek that flowed through New Prague. The land included 160 acres located in the Southeast quarter of the Southwest quarter, Section 34 of Helena Township in Scott County. Phillip was later followed in the same year by Albert Vrtis, J. Hanzel, Joseph Stehlik, Thomas Schomel, Frank Bruzek and John Bernas.

Philipp did not make an effort to plot a town. After the arrival of the first group of Bohemian settlers, Philipp divided the land into four parcels, keeping one parcel for himself. Albert Vrtis, John Bernas and Frank Bruzek made claim to three parcels that are today the boundaries for the City of New Prague. According to oral history, the three men along with Jan Stepka were directed to St. Cloud by the Diocese of St. Paul, where monks had established a monastery. The men were told that the monks would assist them in making land claims. The men evidently were confused and took the wrong turn at the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers, and arrived in Shakopee along the Minnesota River. A priest in Shakopee told the men to take an Indian trail to Jordan and to follow Sand Creek upstream to a blazed trail that led to an established claim along a tributary. The men found Anton Philipp living in a log structure built into the east bank of the creek, north of the intersection of Highway 21 and 2nd Street NW. Philipp was reluctant, but invited the men into his home to share a meal and was relieved when the men made the sign of the cross before eating. Philipp assisted the men in making claims on his land grant. The Philipp Addition was north of Main Street and extended from Central Avenue on the east to the Old Jordan Road on the west. The Bernas Addition was south of Main Street and extended from 1st Avenue on the east to 4th Avenue SW on the west. The Bruzek Addition was south of Main Street and extended from 1st Avenue Southeast on the west to Lexing-ton Avenue Southeast. The Vrtis Addition was north of Main Street and extended from Columbus Avenue on the west to Lexington Avenue on the east. Six months later, the men traveled to Dubuque, Iowa and returned with their families. The settlers came from Southern Bohemia, south of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. Anton Philipp, Frank Bruzek, John Bernas, and Albert Vrtis each gave ten acres of land for the construction of a church, rectory, convent, cemetery and parochial school.

SETTLERS CREATE HOMES AMIDST HARSH CONDITIONS

The first winters in New Prague had some of the coldest recorded temperatures and snowfall. Many of the early settlers made dugout dwellings, similar to Philipp’s home, along the creek running through New Prague. Although most the Indians living in the area had left by October of 1853 due to treaties, manyIndians continued to live in surrounding areas. Mathias Philipp, son of Anton Philipp, was born in hisparent’s dugout dwelling. According to Mathias, “...the structure was about 20 ft. long and 10 ft. wide and had two rooms with a window in each room. The logs still had bark on them and there was a dirt floor. The roof consisted of a layer of straw over the roof logs, and a layer of earth over the straw.” Later, his father built another cabin above the creek bank and afterward he put up the brick house near where the depot stands.

According to Mathias Philipp, “There were Indians everywhere in the first years. They didn’t cause the settlers any serious trouble, although they were continually begging for food. Father used to go hunting with them and they would let him have all the meat he wanted, but never any of the skins of from deer, bears and other animals. Mother became ill when I was a very small baby and a young squaw nursed me. The squaw gave me my first bath in the cold water of the creek.” The Philipp home hosted the first mass given in New Prague as well as the first classes for children.

ORAL IS ESTABLISHED

Settlers were arriving by foot or oxen from Belle Plaine and Henderson, looking for land to homestead. New Prague was first called Oral, thought to be a Bohemian name for “to plow”, likely named by Vincent, the first postmaster, in 1857. The first post office was located one mile east of New Prague on the Ashel H. Vincent homestead along Sand Creek in Le Sueur County. The Vincent homestead adjoined Sand Creek and the Bisek farm on the Southwest corner of the “Old Veseli Road,” east of New Prague on Highway 19. Vincent served as postmaster from 1857 to 1862. I. W. Flavelle assumed the position of postmaster in 1863. The Civil War disrupted mail delivery and the post office closed until 1865. In 1865 the post office was relocated to the Joseph Wrabek farm, across the road from the Vincent homestead in Scott County, until 1867 when it moved to the Wrabek Brothers General Store on Main Street and Francis Wrabek was made postmaster. In1867, the name Oral was changed to Praha, then changed to Prague when the settlement was incorporated into a village in March of 1877, the same year that the railroad arrived. In 1884, the name was changed for the last time to New Prague.

HOMESTEADING

In 1862 during the Civil War, President Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. In order for settlers to take advantage of the Homestead Act, settlers had to be over twenty-one years of age and had never taken up arms against the United States. The Homestead Act promised 160 acres of land for each settler. The land could also be owned after five years if the settler built a home and tilled the soil. The land could also be purchased for $1.25 per acre. Land agents advertised the benefits of emigrating to America with the promise of free land and prosperity. Bohemian peasants were a receptive audience as they were unhappy being forced to join the Austro-Hungarian Army, sharecropping with little reward or opportunity to own land. Even though the process of emigrating was difficult and expensive, Bohemians emigrated in large numbers after the Civil War ended. After a difficult journey lasting three to six weeks across the Atlantic Ocean, immigrants landed in New York City, Baltimore, or New Orleans. One part of the journey was over and another was beginning.

Money was now required for traveling west and the buying of supplies. Many immigrants had to remain in New York for a period of time in order to earn money. Newly arrived immigrants lived in the Bowery of New York’s Lower East Side. Children attended parochial schools while their parents worked as midwives, cigar makers, shoemakers or whatever trade and skill they possessed. Often, one or two male members of a family would travel west to look for land before they returned for their families. The settlers were faced with enormous obstacles when they arrived in the emerging community that became New Prague. The biggest obstacle was clearing land of old growth timber. Often, as in the case of one family farming near Plum Creek in the Credit River Township of Scott County, all the farm buildings were constructed of log. The farm had a log home with a tree stump for a table, a log barn, a log outhouse and log buildings to house pigs, livestock, horses and poultry. Initially, settlers planted crops for survival along with cabbages for making sauerkraut,

poppy seed for filling kolacky, and caraway seed to season kraut, meat and bread. Root crops, corn and wheat followed once the land was cleared with oxen and horses. Farmers gradually added swine, dairy cows, poultry and cattle when made affordable and available.

RAILROADS AND AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT 1870 - 1940

Due to the physical terrain, surveying and mapping New Prague was difficult. The early settlers did not know the difficulties that were to follow by having their town divided between two counties with separate county government centers. The establishment of businesses in New Prague was slow due to lack of roads leading to the Minnesota River and nearby Shakopee. Daily provisions had to be carried to and from Shakopee by foot along Sand Creek. Settlers accessed Sand Creek on the Joseph Maruska farm, two miles northeast of New Prague. A trail along the creek led to Jordan and eventually crossed an Indian trail leading to Shakopee. Two or more days of travel to Shakopee was required to acquire supplies and access grist mills. When the Civil War ended, New Prague and surrounding rural communities began to be settled in large numbers: Veseli, 1879; Plum Creek, 1873; Raven Stream, 1864; St. Benedict, 1873; and St. Patrick, 1874.

Commerce began as soon as settlers arrived. On the corner of Main Street and Columbus Avenue North, Albert Vrtis and his wife opened a general store and saloon in one of two log buildings. The Vrtis homeoccupied the second log building. The general store and saloon, along with the Vrtis home, were separated by a dog trot with a common roof. The store opened in 1859. Main Street during the early years was a primitive dirt road often called “corduroy road” as result of wood pilings inserted in the wet road bed. A spring fed creek that began in the present golf course, traveled west and behind the business district south of Main Street. The creek emptied at the intersection of Main Street and Central Avenue where men hunted ducks before a wood culvert was built in 1885 by Mathias Remes, to redirect the water to the area of the mill ponds for the purpose of raising carp. The creek was a natural drainage ditch that swelled in spring and made travel difficult for horse-drawn wagons and pedestrians, giving Main Street the nickname “chocolate pudding.” Wooden sidewalks along storefronts and boards laid across Main Street helped pedestrians escape the mud. Most buildings built prior to 1898 had as many as five to seven steps to the main door.

The first buildings along Main Street were made of logs harvested and hewn in the woods surrounding New Prague. Log buildings were slowly replaced by wood and brick. Sand Creek provided settlers with water power for saw mills and grist mills located along its banks. The first brick buildings along Main Street were made of local brick from the Zak, Bisek, and Mikiska brick yards. Brick production was short lived as the clay deposits were shallow and difficult to work. There are buildings that continue standing made from local hand made bricks; the Zak Saloon/Vanasek Hardware Store, and the Maertz General Store. The brick was fired at a low temperature and thus porous and not durable. With the arrival of the railroad in 1877, train loads of Chaska brick arrived to replace handmade brick and soon brick buildings began to outnumber wooden structures along Main Street. A city ordinance in 1897 required all new buildings on Main Street to be constructed from brick due to numerous fires.

RAILROAD

The Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad arrived in 1877 and brought enormous changes to New Prague. Hotels catered to traveling salesmen who arrived Monday by train and took up residence for the week. The International Hotel, Klondike, Hotel Broz, Commercial Hotel, and Remes Hotel had sample rooms for salesmen to display their merchandise for store owners to view. With the development and expansion of The International Milling Company, the hotels were also filled with traveling mill employees.

Six passenger and freight trains arrived daily giving local residents travel access to Minneapolis, St. Paul and beyond. The trains brought transient travelers who were often seen around town asking for handouts. The trains also created problems in the form of accidents involving horse drawn vehicles and automobiles. Four travelers, including Frank Wrabek of New Prague, were killed Sept. 24, 1906 in a train wreck south of the city. Fifteen of the injured were taken to the Hotel Broz for treatment at the invitation of the owner, W. S. Broz.

NEW PRAGUE DEVELOPS INTO A MILLING CENTER

The development of New Prague as a center for the flour milling industry began to take place. The Big Woods was being transformed into farmland as farmers were cutting trees, removing stumps and tilling the soil as fast as they could to grow more wheat in the area. The demand for flour increased as the population of New Prague and farming community grew. While St. Anthony on the banks of the Mississippi was developing into the flour capital of the world, New Prague was becoming the center of milling in southern Minnesota and commonly referred to as “Flour City.”

A grist mill, run by A. Vondrasek, was located on Sand Creek near the Mares farm along the “Old Veseli Road” two miles southeast of New Prague. The second grist mill appeared west of the business district in 1875 along the Raven Stream tributary that runs through town. In both cases, water flow was not consistent, making the mills unreliable for grinding wheat. The James Bisek & Thomas Suchomel grist mill on the Raven Stream tributary lasted the longest. After Michael Simmer purchased the grist mill in1882, the mill ceased operating due to unpredictable water flow. The milling industry in New Prague was about to change, with the arrival of Frank A. Bean.

F. A. Bean came to New Prague from Faribault, where he managed the mill his father had purchased after the Civil War. As prices for flour drastically decreased and freight charges demanded by railroads increased, the mill closed and left Bean heavily in debt. Along with his brother-in-law, J. H. Mallery, Bean came to New Prague in 1892 and rented the vacant Simmer Eclipse Mill, formerly the Bisek & Suchomel grist mill. By 1894, the Eclipse Flour Mill, owned by Bean and Mallery, was a thriving milling business. In November of 1894 the mill was running 24 hours a day with 25 employees and buying thousands of bushels of wheat per day.

The former owner of the Eclipse Mill decided to go back into the milling business and Bean lost his lease. Bean and Mallery decided to build a new mill next to the railroad tracks. Local businessmen offered Bean and Mallery a loan, without interest, in order to begin and build a new mill. A new mill was begun and constructed in 1896 from brick brought by train from Chaska. The New Prague Four Mill Company was

incorporated and the loan was eventually paid with interest. Competition began immediately with other local flour mills when the Simmer and Nicolin mills relocated their operations next to the train tracks. The A-Mill along with the Maintenance Shop became what the Northeast Magazine of 1897 recognized as “...worth more to the community than all its other industries combined.” The “Seal of Minnesota” brand began to be milled and sent to outstate markets and was famous for the quality of its flour. The main mill office, print shop, laboratory, and test kitchens were located in New Prague for many years.

CHANGE COMES TO NEW PRAGUE

The International Milling Company, along with arrival of the railroad in 1877, brought enormous prosperity and change to New Prague. The period of 1880 to 1895 saw New Prague grow from a population of 400 people to a bustling town of 1500. Mill employees, traveling salesmen, visiting mill executives and their families increased the demand for housing, stores and improvements in education. Business owners welcomed and catered to their new clientele. Mill executives built mansions for their families and employed many local residents as domestics. Locals who were fluent in both English and Bohemian, were hired as store clerks in shops along Main Street to make shopping easy for new and established customers.

In 1895, the business community began to respond to the changing population. J. F. Wrabek and F. M. Wrabek, publishers of The Times in 1895 reported in their publication, New Prague, Minnesota, Brief Sketches, History, Resources, Advantages and Business Men, that “New Prague had 1500 inhabitants and seven jewelry stores, six dress making parlors, four millinery shops, two tailor shops, two schools, three libraries, nine general stores, three lumberyards, three notions stores, two opera houses, four furniture stores, two photograph studios, four lunch counters, one carpet weaver, three meat markets, three public halls, two drug stores, one newspaper, one physician, thirteen societies, one dentist, one artist, one pisciculturist, two hotels and one bank.” In addition, there were “...nine saloons, one apiarist, one city hall, two churches, two breweries, five elevators, one creamery, one dye-house, one brick yard, two foundries, one pop factory, one refrigerator, three undertakers, one copper shop, one flour mill, three wagon shops, three harness shops, one cheese factory, one packing house, five cigar factories, two machine shops, one shingle factory, nine produce buyers, three hardware stores, one fire department, two shoemaker shops, four live stock buyers, three blacksmith shops, five insurance agents, one baker and confectioner, one watch maker, one brush and basket maker, seven painters and decorators, four sewing machinery dealers, two livery stables and dray lines and three Orchestras and brass bands.”

EARLY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Inadequate roads made travel difficult for settlers to access supplies and services in New Prague. However, upon their arrival, settlers found store owners speaking the same language, understanding their customs, providing local and news of the outside world, and opportunities to socialize. Main Street began to develop into a major commercial center with Sunday becoming the major trade day, when the rural community came to town to attend church and do their shopping. The shopping district extended west to the “Old Jordan Road,” now Highway 21, and east past St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and the slough that began at the edge of what is now the town park. Sunday shopping included a stroll up and down main street, reaching as far as “The Tin Jesus,” a castiron grave marker, which marked the eastern edge of town.

The business district near the railroad tracks and train depot became a popular destination having two general stores and a variety of additional businesses including a bowling alley, barbershop, outdoor dance pavilion, hotel, grain elevator, cigar factory, hardware store, farm implement outlet, livery, blacksmith shop, a creamery, and a millinery.

In 1895, there were three blacksmith shops along Main Street along with livery stables, harness makers and wagon shops. Frank Sticha & Frank Dvorak’s Blacksmith and Wagon Shop became the location of New Prague’s first automobile repair shop.

Women played an important role in business development along Main Street. Many women were instrumental in establishing businesses and had a reputation for being shrewd business owners. The Piesinger sisters owned and operated a drug store which catered to the mill families. In addition to their pharmacy, they had a gift counter stocked with luxury and upscale items. Milliners competed for customers by offering the latest in hat fashions. When the wives of mill executives wearing the latest hats from Paris were driven down Main Street by their chauffeurs, the milliners watched with curiosity as they passed. The milliners would run into their workroom and copy the hats before women leaving church rushed into their shops demanding a copy. Dressmakers, along with cigar makers, developed cottage industries in their homes. Even though cigar making was dominated by men, women in New Prague met the demand by making cigars. Women had learned cigar making in Bohemia. Fanny Funda and Mrs. Ballinger were two popular cigar makers in New Prague. “Grandma Ballinger” was able to support herself and her children after her husband died with her cigar shop, located along Main Street next door to the Hovorka Drug and General Store. Women were also involved in running saloons and general stores. “Grandma Topka” ran the saloon in the “Topka Block” and was known for her savvy business ability. “Grandma Tikalsky” became a legend in the business community after buying the “Topka Block” in 1919. After her husband died, she bought farms, buildings and became a successful business woman.

Businesses on Main Street to the east had more land to expand as the creek on the west prohibited expansion. General and dry goods stores had a saloon on the premises as socialization played a large part in welcoming and competing for customers. Along with saloons there were many barbershops that gave customers a shave, and an opportunity to bathe and socialize. In addition to the many saloons along Main Street, the second floor of many businesses had a dance hall. The Topka Hall, Remes Hall, Rybak Hall, and Opera House were popular destinations for dances, which afforded opportunities for people to meet and socialize. Religious holidays, weddings, club events and the 4th of July were also celebrated with dances. The Times reported in February of 1897 that “...the Ladies Society of St. Ann had an “Old Country Social” at Topka’s Hall, especially for the “old folks.” “ The Bag-Pipe Band of Mr. Tuma of Montgomery rendered the “old-fashioned music”.

In January of 1899, everybody was cordially invited to attend a “Calico Apron Dance” to be given for the benefit of the New Prague Military Band at Topka’s Hall. Ladies were to enclose a sample of their aprons in an envelope along with 25 cents for admission. Outdoor dance pavilions were temporary structures erected on vacant lots, such as Pavek’s pavilion on the corner of Main Street and 1st Avenue Northwest, as well as behind the Rybak Hall, Remes Block, and Pany’s Saloon. Dances were also held at outdoor dance pavilions at Raven Stream, Roemer’s Woods and the Bruzek Woods.

CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Music played an important role in Bohemian culture and lives of New Prague residents. Brass bands and button accordions played polkas and waltzes, favorite musical forms for dancing and singing. Musical groups played for house parties in rural areas. Brass bands traveled from town to town playing for special events. Bands popular in the New Prague area were the Smisek Band, Sery Band, Vondra Band, Kaisersott Band, Rynda Band, Lanesburgh Band, Union Hill Band, Komarek Band, and the Dalieden Orchestra. Brass bands would escort the deceased from the church to the cemetery and the bride from church to the dance halls along Main Street.

New Prague had a Philharmonic Orchestra at the turn of the century. The orchestra performed in the Opera House under the direction of Professor J. J. Kovarik. Prof. Kovarik moved to New Prague in 1899 and accepted the music directorship at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and parochial school. Prior to coming to New Prague, Prof. Kovarik was the musical director at the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Spillville, Iowa. Joseph Kovarik, Prof. Kovarik’s son, was principal violinist with the New York Harmonic Orchestra and secretary to Antonin Dvorak, the famous Bohemian composer who moved to New York City to become the director of the National Conservatory of Music. Noting that Antonin Dvorak was homesick, Joseph Kovarik invited him to visit his family in Spillville, Iowa. Dvorak spent the spring months in Spillville, then sent for his wife, her sister, a maid and his six children to join him for the remainder of the summer of 1893. Dvorak composed many famous important musical compositions while vacationing in Spillville.

NEW PRAGUE PREPARES FOR THE 20TH CENTURY

BANKINGBanks were locally owned in the early years. The State Bank, formed in 1883, is the oldest and continually running bank in New Prague. The bank was founded as the Bank of New Prague with bankers from Shakopee, MN. Joseph Maertz Sr. and L. Schniederhan bought out the original stockholders except for M. Schreiner, who was one of the original stockholders from New Prague. The first bank was a one story building located on Main Street. In 1904, the bank was incorporated and renamed the State Bank of New Prague. In the same year a new building was erected, and later remodeled in 1925. The First National Bank, owned by the Thomas Topka family, was incorporated in 1903. The bank occupied the building built for his son, Joseph Topka, as a general store in 1898. A terra cotta facade replaced the original facade in 1922-1924. The First National Bank is on the Register of National Historic Places.

GENERAL STORES AND HARDWARE STORESGeneral stores and hardware stores served the community of New Prague along Main Street, making the town self-sufficient and convenient for shopping. In addition to the often included saloon, general stores sold clothing, crockery, stoves, lumber, fabric, notions, and groceries. Every store offered special features. The Maertz, Joach, and Vanasek hardware stores specialized in farm machinery and hardware. The Vanasek Hardware was known for moving structures to new locations. The Rybak Store specialized in clothing and groceries and the Mach “Daylight” Store specialized in serving the needs of women. Store owners and their families often lived above or behind their stores.

DRUG STORES AND HOSPITALSDrug stores have had a long and important role in serving the community. Even before J. J. Remes began his drug store in 1894, Joseph Horvorka ran a drug store in the same building. The “Lekarna Drug Store” painted sign on the west side of the building identified the business as an apothecary. “Lekarna” means apothecary in Bohemian. The Frank Mikiska Drug Store, constructed of brick from the Mikiska brickyard, was the earliest drug store in New Prague.

Prior to the first hospital being built, patients were treated by the physician in his office or in their homes. Babies were delivered at home by doctors or midwives. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Harvey donated their family home in 1924 to the City of New Prague to be used as the first hospital. W. L. Harvey was an executive at International Milling. In 1923, the Harveys changed their residence and moved to Minneapolis. The hospital encouraged women to deliver their babies in the new hospital by giving them a free delivery. The City of New Prague built a new hospital in 1952.

BREWERIES AND SODA BOTTLING WORKSThe tradition of beer brewing in Bohemia started late in the first century. It wasn’t long before New Prague had two breweries, the first dating back to before 1880. Beer was delivered and stored in wooden barrels before bottling became popular. Tin pails of beer could be purchased at saloons and taken home, or delivered by horse to neighboring communities. Veseli, Montgomery and Jordan had competing breweries until the beginning of Prohibition in 1919.

Soda pop was bottled in various locations in New Prague. The Joseph Lukes “Star Soda and Cider Bottling Works” was located on the corner of Main Street and Highway 21 in his home. The Rybak Bottling Works was adjacent to City Hall and bottled “The Seal of Minnesota” beverages. An additional soda bottling works was located one mile east of town on the Bill Cecka farm. Soda fountains were popular and found along Main Street at Penner’s, “Ma” Rybak’s Confectionery, The Remes Drug Store, The Green Goblin Cafe, Robert Kubes Confectionery, and Albert Bartyzal’s Saloon.

The Minar-Kokes Brewery ca. 1885

INDUSTRYThe New Prague Manufacturing Company, begun in 1889, was founded by F. J. Melounek. The foundry made iron window sills, thresholds, and lintels forged with the name of the foundry and date of manufacture. The business expanded over the years, manufacturing other products such as the hand cylinder press that the New Prague Times used. The foundry constructed and installed the first electric lighting system in New Prague as a private enterprise in 1896. The company also built the first telephone line in the community from Veseli to Heidelberg and Union Hill. The foundry was later the site of a Ford and Goodyear Dealership.

CHURCHESThe most noticeable building along Main Street is the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, built in 1907. The church, rectory, parochial school with later additions were built on property donated by Albert Vrtis, Frank Bruzek, Anton Philipp and Jan Bernas in 1861. The church has remained on the same site since 1868. The German Methodist and Presbyterian vhurches were small by comparison. The German Methodist Church was organized in 1862 and merged with the Presbyterian Church, built in 1900. The church was taken over by a Baptist congregation in 1923.

MODERN INFRASTRUCTURES. A. Vopatek founded the New Prague Telephone Company in 1900. The city had telephone lines by 1891 connecting the Melounek Foundry, the Times office, the International Hotel and the Minneapolis & Saint Louis Railroad depot, Dr. Landenberger’s office, and the Mikiska Drug Store. In 1896, the city waterworks were completed, including water mains and a water tower. Elias Bruzek donated the land for the new water works. In 1896, a new sewer line was laid, and, by 1897, the city’s first light system was installed. Main Street was paved in 1939 and celebrated with a town celebration and parade.

VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTThe fire department was formed in1884 with twenty-seven volunteer firemen using water buckets and bucket brigades for putting out fires. A rash of town and rural fires initiated the digging of nine cisterns in the city to provide additional water for the fire department. The fire department has always been housed in the city hall, both the first, built in 1891, and in the second, when the building was razed and replaced by the present city hall in 1931.

NEWSPAPERThe New Prague Times was founded in 1889 by W. H. Taylor, an eighteen year old man from Iowa. New Prague had two newspapers in 1912, with John L. Suel becoming the editor and publisher of the New Prague Times. After the Times office burned in 1916, the present New Prague Times building was constructed in 1917.

PUBLIC SCHOOLSThe education has played an important role in New Prague. In the earliest years, children attended school in the log home of Anton Philipp, where classes were taught by eighteen year old Mary Chalupsky. According to oral history, Mary was late for school one day and her father came to the Philipps’ home and took a switch to her in front of the children. The first public school was built behind the Topka Block, next to the alley. The log building, built in 1865, was approximately twenty feet wide and twelve feet long with two small

windows and a handmade door. In 1873, a well for the school was dug east of the Topka Block. The second school, built in 1884, was a two story clapboard structure on the corner of Central Avenue South and First Street SW. The first two schools were a short distance from Main Street which gave children a ready made playground. The third school was built in 1903, housing the high school, elementary and a normal school, which trained teachers for two years. The first high school class graduated in 1907. A second high school was constructed in 1923.

MODERN TIMES

New Prague was affected by WW I and the Great Depression. During and immediately after WW I there was little growth with few new buildings constructed along Main Street. In addition, the decision to move the main office of the International Milling Company to Minneapolis caused additional economic problems for the business district. Many families associated with the mill also moved to the Twin Cities at this time. The Great Depression created additional economic woes for the community. However, businesses along Main Street survived with very few stores having to close. Main Street businesses have continued to occupy buildings constructed during the building boom of the 1890’s and early 1900’s. The reuse of buildings by business owners helped to preserve the historic district along Main Street. During the Depression, a new City Hall was constructed through the efforts of the PWA. The new city hall became a community center and facility for housing government offices, the fire department and police headquarters. The city was prepared to meet the WW II era in the 1940’s with locally owned businesses carrying on the tradition of an active Main Street business district.

The City of New Prague has an important task of preserving the historic commercial buildings along Main Street. While conducting this survey, I found that each building and site on Main Street had a unique story to tell. Even though New Prague has a weekly newspaper recording the history of the city and rural community for over 125 years, there are many stories that only oral tradition has preserved, many of which have been included in the survey. Oral history has been a constant and important part of New Prague, dominated by ethnic traditions and language since 1856. Including these stories will, I feel, paint a broader picture of the town’s development.

New Prague’s Main Street continues to be a vital center of business. Some buildings retain their historic integrity while many do not. It is the responsibility of the city, business owners, and residents to recognize, encourage, and insure the survival of this district. The City’s 2010 mission statement needs to be enforced. To “maintain a unique identity by recognizing its heritage while providing opportunities for residents to share and enjoy both rural and urban lifestyles,” of which completing this survey takes important first steps in preserving the historic district. In addition, the Central Business District Design and Sign Guidelines, prepared by the New Prague Planning Commission and adopted by the New Prague City Council, September 7, 2010, needs to be continually reinforced and revisited. With many historic small towns and communities near the Twin Cities trying to develop a downtown to participate in the tourism economy, New Prague has a main street ready for preservation.

The main street of New Prague symbolizes and communicates a sense of identity. People visiting our city enjoy the small town atmosphere and charm of our main street. Too often, historic business districts are ignored and destroyed by businesses vacating and moving away from the center. The movement of businesses to the east along Highway 19 is happening in New Prague and contributes to the shifting the business core. The city needs to be aware of the importance of maintaining a vibrant downtown. My hope is that this survey will also serve to enlighten the community and town leaders to our unique history and encourage preservation of the historic commercial core along Main Street.

Thomas Svobodny left Bohemia and came to Americain 1867. When he arrived in New Prague after “walkingthrough endless woods” from Jordan, “there was no church, and the rectory was like a cottage in Bohemia. There were two stores, Merz [sic] had a hardware such as could easily be carried on a wagon and Simek had a general store. The post office was a little wooden building, and it was named Oral. Mr. F. Vrabek [sic] was the postmaster. But I can tell you, the people were very happy and neighborly to each other back then.”

Historic use: Star Pop and Cider Bottling WorksPresent use: Tattoo ParlorOwner and address:Eric & Adam Will - Elko, MNDate of construction: 1905Architectural style: Late 19th c. ResidentialArchitectural integrity: GoodGeneral condition: GoodPin # 23.003.0600

History: Joseph Lukes built the building for the “Star Soda and Cider Bottling Works” conducted in the basement. The building also served as the Lukes family residence. The bottling works moved to this site after the Simmer Eclipse Flour Mill burned in 1895. Wagons accessed the factory to load pop crates on the west and exited on the east.

History: F. A. Bean completed the construction of the A-Mill and Maintenance building in 1896. The mill complex occupies the Houdek farm site. The mill yard was the site of the Bitcek Lumber Yard and the F. Nicolin Flour Mill and furniture store. In 1887, the town “calaboose” was located on the site. After F. A. Bean left Faribault in 1892, he rented with J. H. Mallery, the vacant Simmer Eclipse Mill located along the creek west of the mill. The mill began operation in 1896 after the A-Mill was completed. F. A. Bean came to New Prague bankrupt. Bean took up residence in the International Hotel and to show his appreciation to local investors and W. S. Broz who ran the hotel at that time, he named his new mill The International Milling Company. “Seal of Minnesota” was the name of the flour milled in New Prague.

Historic use: Hotel BrozPresent use: Hotel BrozOwner and address: CZECH LAND III LLC - Caroline AmplatzNew PragueDate of construction: 1898Architectural style: Georgian RevivalArchitectural integrity: ExcellentGeneral condition: ExcellentPin # 23.675.0030

History: The Georgian Revival Hotel was constructed by W. S. Broz in 1898. Broz ran the International Hotel to the east of the Broz Hotel prior to building the hotel. The hotel was designed by Cass Gilbert and/or John Rachac who was the primary draftsman and assistant to Cass Gilbert. John Rachac was born in New Prague and moved to St. Paul, MN where he became associated with Cass Gilbert. At the same time the Minnesota State Capitol building was being constructed, Rachac traveled to New Prague numerous times to supervise the construction of the hotel and to meet with friends. A photograph of New Prague was included in the cornerstone of the Minnesota State Capitol building. Debate continues among architectural historians as to whether Rachac or Gilbert designed the hotel. Rachac completed the Supreme Court building in Washington D.C. after Gilbert died. A brass plaque on the Supreme Court building recognizes Rachac’s involvement in the completion of the Supreme Court build-ing. Local architecture historians attribute the design of the hotel to John Rachac.

The hotel primarily served traveling salesman. Salesman would arrive Monday on the train and set up their samples and merchandise in the hotel’s sample room on the east side of the lobby. The hotel was originally in the shape of an U. The open space of the hotel was made into a garden for the family. Broz and his family lived in the southwest corner of the hotel, next to the kitchen, being that the kitchen was under the supervision of Broz’s daughter and husband. The kitchen specialized in chicken dinners. Broz constructed a brick chicken coop to the south of the hotel. When patrons ordered a chicken dinner, the kitchen staff would dress and serve a chicken retrieved from the chicken coop. The hotel was a popular gathering and meeting place for the business community for many years. John and Nancy Schumacher purchased the hotel in 1974 and developed the hotel into the first “Romantic Inn” in the United States and a landmark in southern Minnesota.

Historic use: Ballinger ResidencePresent use: True Life Real Estate Owner and address: Rodney Tietz - New PragueDate of construction: 1924Architectural style: Tudor CottageArchitectural Integrity: GoodGeneral condition: GoodPin # 23.480.1260

History: The Julius and Hedwig Bruzek Ballinger home was built on the site of Frank Bruzek’s first log home and farm. The log home was built into the hillside. The site took advantage of the slopping terrain to the south and creek. The creek began in the New Prague City Golf Course. The creek flowed through the city to the mill ponds. The original Bruzek property was south and east of Main Street.

Frank Bruzek was one of four settlers that included Anton Phillipp, Albert Vrtis (Mrs. Vrtis was a sister of Frank Bruzek) and John Bernas that laid claim to what became New Prague in 1856. The parish of St. Wenceslaus was given property in 1866 for a church, rectory, convent, and school by the four men and their families. The first church, made of log, was located directly north of the Bruzek home in the middle of Main Street.

The house was built adjacent to the Ballinger Dairy owned by Julius and Gilbert Ballinger. The sitepartially included the property occupied by the Rech & Yackly Monument and Stone Works on the west. The Ballinger family played an important role in the development of the community. “Grandma Ballinger,” mother of Julius and Gilbert, was widowed unexpectedly and began a thriving cigar making business on Main Street, next to the Hovorka and Remes Drug Stores.

Historic use: Ballinger DairyPresent use: The Happenings Place,Second Skin TattooOwner and address: Tony Kubes - New PragueDate of construction: 1930Architectural style: ModernArchitectural integrity: PoorGeneral condition: FairPin # 23.003.2640

History: The Ballinger Dairy began in July of 1926, directly south the New Prague Times Office in the former F. M. Korbel building. The dairy moved to east to the corner of Main Street and 2nd Avenue South in 1930. The building was originally one story with a large milk bottle above the entrance.

The Ballinger Dairy sold milk, butter and homemade ice crème. The Ballinger Dairy was the first dairy in Scott County to pasteurize milk. Milk was delivered door to door and Ice crème was sold hand packed or ready packed in their ice cream parlor. Ice cream sundaes, malts, shakes, and soft serve ice cream were available and served on an L shaped lunch counter with stools.

In the early years, the Ballinger Dairy delivered dairy products with horses stabled in New Prague on Pershing Avenue. After the horse drawn dairy wagon tipped over near the present hospital in 1937, the horse ran back to the barn and the Ballinger Dairy no longer employed a horse to deliver milk. Wm. Ballinger, father of Julius and Gilbert Ballinger, established a dairy on Lincoln Avenue South, in the middle of the block facing east.

History:The plant is no longer staffed 12/7, but staffed during normal working hours. Plant serves as a mandatory grid capacity back-up for peak power and retains the capability to power the entire city. Emissions compliance upgrades were installed in 2013. The 1948 Municipal Water Works building is a separate building. The building is adjacent to the power plant with a driveway separating the powerplant on the west.

The original power plant was constructed in 1904. The boilers and engines provided steam heat to the city from 1931-1978. The power plant was built on the Frank Bruzek property that began on the Southeast corner of Main Street and 1st Avenue SE and continued eastward to Lexington Avenue. Frank Bruzek donated the property. The Frank Bruzek home, made of brick, was located behind the power plant on the North East corner of 1st Street South East. The Bruzek home has been razed.

History: The church was completed in 1907 for a approximate cost of $80,000 dollars. Hermann Kretz was thearchitect and A. Kropf was the general contractor assisted by Frank M. Korbel. Thechurch was built over the first parish cemetery ca. 1868. The first church was made of log and was located in the middle of Main Street, south of the parish school. After the log church burned, a secondchurch was built south of the present church. The church was built during the tenure of Father Tichy who also built at his own expense, the cemetery chapel in 1899. The chapel was to be a model for the new parish church.

During the excavation of the church, the remains in the cemetery were removed and buried in the new parish cemetery. The basement at this time had dirt floor including a winter chapel. Below the apse and basement kitchen, tomb stones of unknown remains from the first cemetery are stored. Remains of unmarked graves cannot be buried in the cemetery. A stone cross to the south and west of the church mark and commemorate the original cemetery site. The copper domicals of the two bell tow-ers are identical to the domicals on the church in Bosilec, Bohemia, where many of the early settlers in New Prague originated. Anton Philipp, Albert Vrtis, Frank Bruzek and John Bernas each gave ten acres to the parish for the church, convent, rectory, cemetery and school in 1862. The bell from the second church, ca. 1868, was placed in the belfry at the north end of the roof. The convent built in 1950, was razed in 2003.

Historic use: Apothecary Present use: Back and Neck ClinicOwner and address: Tupy Hughes LLC -New Prague Date of construction: 1883 Architectural style: Late 19th c. CommercialArchitectural integrity: FairGeneral condition: GoodPin # 24.007.0070

History: The building was built by Joseph Hovorka in 1883 as an apothecary and general store. The apothecary was housed on the west side of the building and the general store was housed on the east with separate entrances. J. J. Remes purchased the building in 1893 and continued the drug and general store.

The Benes and Vlach Meat Market occupied the building after the Remes Drug Store moved their business to 106 Main Street East in 1927. Afterwards, the building was used for the Novotny and Bednar Insurance Company offices, and Dr. J. Tupy’s Back and Neck Clinic.

The brick addition on the north was a built to house a slaughtering room for the meat market. Dr. E. E. Novak’s office was located on the second floor of the building. Dr. E. E. Novak ran for Governor of Minnesota in 1936 and was a Regent at the University of Minnesota.

The “Lekarna and Drug Store” painted store sign with an eagle, mortar and pestle and “Drug Store” ca. 1895, on the west elevation has been restored. “Lekarna” in Bohemian translates to “apothecary.”

Historic use: Topka BlockPresent use: Hertaus Flooring and Way to YogaOwner and address: Ron and Lisa HertausDate of construction: 1883Architectural style: Italianate Architectural integrity: GoodGeneral condition: GoodPin # 24.934.1240

History: Thomas Topka purchased the site from Francis Wrabek in 1874 and built the general store and saloon in 1883. Francis and Joseph Wrabek erected a saloon and general store on the site in 1867. One of the first post offices in New Prague was housed in the Wrabek store and home. Wrabek had a dance hall on the second floor of his general store and saloon. A one story dance hall was built to the rear of the building by Vadlav Drozda. The first log school in New Prague was located to the rear of the Topka building before 1873. A well dug by Joseph Wrabek to serve the school was dug in 1873 to the east on the Meskan Harness Shop site.

The Topka Block consisted of a saloon and billiard parlor on the east, a general store on the west and living quarters for the Topka family on the north and rear of the building, adjacent to the alley.

The second floor housed the Topka Hall where dances were held. The dance hall had a stage with room for scenery. The stage was used for plays and musical performances. The main entrance to the dance hall was on the south elevation with an addtional entrance on the east elevation in the alley. Both entrances had staircases that led patrons to the dance hall. A balcony with iron railings was accessed from the dance hall through double doors above the main entry. The doors were at a lower elevation than the windows. The balcony was used by musical groups to announce dances and to seranade pedestrians. Brass bands would escort wedding parties from the church to the dance hall. If the bride lived in town, the brass bands would escort the bride to church. A feed store and saloon occupied the building beginning in 1911. The Tikalsky Grocery and Dry Goods Store occupied the building from 1919-1978.

The present City Hall was a PWA project when built in 1939. The second floor included a gathering room with a step up stage. The small rooms behind the step up stage hallway were built as offices for judges. A second room on the north was built for city council meetings and court proceedings. The police department office, holding cells and city clerk offices were located on the first floor.The basement was used for club meetings and events. The basement also housed a walk-in safe.The multiple garages to the east housed the School District #721 school buses, ambulance and street maintenance vehicles.

History: The site is located within the Anton Philipp Addition of 1861. A tailor and cobbler shop occupied the site 1887-1890. Joseph Lunak operated a shoe repair from 1922 to 1946 and Earl Turek operated a shoe repair in the building 1946-1976. The adjacent property to the east was the site of the Farmer’s Lumber Company and the Westerman Lumber Company, 1900-1961. The Minnesota Sugar Company owned the building in 1900 and the Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company held title in 1911. The Commercial Hotel and Saloon, built in 1911, was located to the west. The building is south of the mill ponds originally built by Mathias Remes for raising carp. The ponds, dug by horses, were dug too shallow for fish to winter. The water from the pondswas eventually used by The International Milling Company to cool turbines after pipes were laid across Main Street. The creamery used the ponds for the discharge of water. The ponds were also used for boating and skating before being filled in. A narrow path separated the ponds before a road was constructed.

Historic use: Train Depot for the Mpls.& St. Louis RailroadPresent use: Office for the Union Pacific RailroadOwner and address: Union Pacific RailroadRR Company - Omaha, NEDate of construction: 1899Architectural style: Stick Architectural integrity: ExcellentGeneral condition: GoodPin # 24.000.5000

History: The trains of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad began arriving in April of 1877. The neighborhood surrounding the depot developed into an important and thriving commercial district. The railroad was important in serving the flour mills directly south of the depot. The depot was the site of the first large scale in New Prague for weighing freight and used by the Post Office for a number of years in the early 1900’s. Many warehouses lined the tracks to the north of the depot.

The arrival of trains initiated enormous economic growth in New Prague. Trains arrived and departed from the depot six times a day allowing movement of freight and passengers on schedule. Passenger service ended in 1959. Freight continues to move through New Prague on the Union Pacific Railroad as the mill depends on trains to transport processed flour.

The depot is south of an earlier brick building on the same site. The original footprint of the depot is intact. The depot has a passenger waiting room, railroad and ticket office, original ticket window, restroom, locker room, and freight room. A freight room with two loading docks on the south and west elevations continue to be used. The south loading dock is raised, while the west loading dock is at platform height. The interior has had minor changes. The freight room has not been altered. The locker room has the original exterior paint colors. Ceilings in the ticket office and one half of the waiting room have been lowered. Paneling has been installed on the walls of the waiting room and ticket office. The waiting room has been reduced with the installation of a partition dividing the space.
