The Minneapolis Warehouse District:
Its History and Architecture and Evolving Historic Character
with Rolf Anderson
Rolf Anderson, B Arch, University of Minnesota, is the president of the Minnesota Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians. He has prepared more than 50 nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, including the nomination of the Minneapolis Warehouse District in 1989. He also has led walking tours of the Warehouse District for 30 years. In his lecture, Mr. Anderson will conduct a virtual tour of the district, explaining the district’s overall history, the history of businesses in the district, the architectural styles of the buildings, and their architects. An important point of discussion will be why the Minneapolis Warehouse District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. In recent years, however, the warehouse district has experienced many changes as the result of extensive new construction and other alterations. Mr. Anderson will also discuss these changes and how they impact the historic character of the district.
