HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Salisbury and Satterlee Company Complex
This 1892 building is in the Minneapolis St. Anthony Falls Historic District on the Mississippi River. A bed and mattress factory, Salisbury and Satterlee was in operation until the mid-20th century. The tax credit rehabilitation project repaired exterior masonry, updated mechanical and electrical systems, and reconfigured the interior for contemporary office use. An exterior courtyard and deck expand the use of the building in warm weather for events and dining.
Oaks Pavilion
Oaks Pavilion constructed in 1916, is located on Lake Titloe in Gaylord, Minnesota. Dance pavilions were popular recreation spots in the early 20th century. Shaded by mature oaks, the seasonal structure is now used for special events. The interior of the pavilion has exposed rafters, wood floors and built in benches below screened sash, wood shutters move vertically on rails to open and close the screened openings. The rehabilitation restored the interior and exterior building finishes and materials while maintaining the historic integrity of the structure.
Parke Davis Company
Parke Davis is a rare example of Art Deco style in Minneapolis. Constructed as an office warehouse for a pharmaceutical company, the building now houses a residence and warehouse for a local business owner. The character defining brickwork was repaired, windows replaced and the second office converted to residential use.
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
