Happy Hour with a Preservationist
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Pence Building, 800 Hennepin Avenue
Join us for a tour of the historic Pence Building, a National Register-listed property on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. Built in 1909 by auto dealer
Harry Pence, this eight-story building housed a variety of services for Buick-brand automobiles. Buicks were assembled on the upper floors, serviced on other
floors, and sold in a showroom on the first floor. Since 2008, the Pence Building has been undergoing a historic rehabilitation that includes a variety of new
tenants. We’ll have the opportunity to see the new tenant spaces throughout the building and learn more about the historic rehabilitation project. Parking is
available at meters on neighboring streets, at pay lots around the building, and in public parking ramps along South Eighth Street. This event is free!

Happy Hour with a Preservationist
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Educational Sciences Building, University of Minnesota, 56 East River Road
Join us for a tour of the recently remodeled Educational Sciences Building, a 2010 Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Award winner. The building was constructed in
1924 as the Mineral Resources Research Center and the taconite refining process was invented there. After the state mining industry declined, the building was
mothballed in 1988. In 2005, the University commissioned a design team to restore the facades and renovate the interior for new use by the College of Education
and Human Development. Come and learn about the design and construction process the university undertook to revitalize this building. Parking is available in
garages along University Avenue. This event is free!
