Repairs Planned for Washburn Crosby Elevator No. 1

 

According to Brian Johnson's article in the February 4 Finance & Commerce, the Minnesota Historical Society is seeking construction bids to patch and repair the Washburn Crosby Elevator No. 1, part of a complex that rates among the most historically significant structures in Minneapolis.

MHS owns the building and wants to make it safe and prevent further decay. The estimated $1.25-$1.5 million in repairs will be paid for with asset preservation funds the MHS received from the state over several bonding cycles. 

Bids are due to MHS by February 23 for services that include demolition of the mill’s cast-in-place concrete roof over the grain bins, application of a waterproof membrane on head house roofs, concrete repairs, and installation of window and door coverings.
