A twelve- story concrete office building erected in 1910 at the corner of Hennepin Av. and Sixth St. at a cost of about $1,000,000. It is thoroughly modern in every respect and absolutely fire-proof. The exterior walls are of red brick, stone and terra cotta. Interior fittings are of mahogany. Simplicity of design, solidity and permanence characterize every detail of the great building, which is one of the largest in the West. The ground dimensions are 247 feet on Sixth St. by 187 on Hennepin.
