English: Built in stages between 1885 and 1909, this building was initially designed by Dunnell & Elliott in the Romanesque Revival style for the Minneapolis Street Railroad Company, which ran the city’s streetcars, and was expanded as the operations of the company grew over time. The building was originally three stories in height, with two additional stories added to the roof of the building later. The building features a buff brick facade with massive two-story openings with large Roman arches at the base, smaller window openings with roman arches on the third floor, brick pilasters and corbels, and much simpler side and rear facades with windows that have shallower arches and less trim details. The building has more recently become known as the Colonial Warehouse, and though once adaptively reused as the home of Cobblestone Antiques, today houses commercial office space on the upper floors, and retail and restaurant space on the first floor. The building is a contributing structure in the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
