HISTORIC PRESERVATION
THOMPSON FLATS
Thompson Flats is located in the Loring Park area of downtown Minneapolis. Completed in 1899, this well conserved building provided residential and bachelor hotel style apartments on floors 2 and 3. The ground level provided retail space for a variety of uses including an automobile showroom. The original flats and suites of rooms have been adapted into small apartments leaving original millwork, doors, wood flooring, plaster walls, borrowed lites and skylights in place. The renovation received both state and federal tax credits allowing the design team to completely restore the historic interior and make exterior improvements. Thompson Flats received a Minneapolis Preservation Award in 2019
LOWRY MORRISON
The Lowry Morrison Block was a speculative real estate investment by two prominent early Minneapolis citizens, Thomas Lowry and Clinton Morrison. Constructed in 1879, the building is one of the oldest contributing structures in the district. The tax credit rehabilitation work includes masonry repair, replacement and repair of windows, replacement of storefront, elevator and interior stair construction, and mechanical and electrical systems replacement. The Lowry Morrison Block received a Minneapolis Preservation
Award in 2020
CLOVERFIELD BUILDING
The 1885 Cloverfield Building had been vacant for over 25 years prior to the 2020-2021 rehabilitation. Commonly known as the Lakeland Floral Building, the Italianate Style building is a contributing structure to the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District. The highly detailed brick and stone facade at Third Street North includes stone medallions, a carved brick frieze with imaginary animals and a corbelled parapet. The project utilized historic tax credits to bring the building back to life. Cloverfield building received a Minneapolis Preservation Award in 2022
