Minneapolis Warehouse District, 28 North First St (Restaurant), 28 North First St Minneapolis, Hennepin County, MN
Located at the eastern end of the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District on lower North First Street, the building at 28 North First Street is a surviving example of the small, second-generation masonry buildings that replaced original wood-framed structures in downtown Minneapolis during the 1880s, when the city experienced unprecedented growth and prosperity. It is smaller in scale but similar to six 1880s hotels on lower North First Street that are listed in the Minneapolis Warehouse District. From a year after its construction in ca. 1881 until ca. 1919, this building was occupied by a ground-floor saloon, with an apartment on the second floor. As one of dozens of saloons in the Bridge Square area at the end of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, this building represents a typical land use on lower North First Street. It was listed as a contributing building when the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 1989.
