Remodeling Project Wins Award

The Gale Mansion remodeling project was one of the eight building project awards recognized by Preserve Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission and the Minneapolis chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The awards celebrate projects and people that "celebrate and enhance the heritage and historic character of Minneapolis." Carolyn Humphrey, Tamra Nelson and Sheila Lind represented the branch at the award luncheon as guests of MacDonald & Mack Architects.

The Gale Mansion's addition "is an example of adapting a historic building to fit modern needs. A handicapped accessible elevator was installed between the original structure and a modern addition in such a way to blend in and not call attention to itself." The Minneapolis Project Team included the American Association of University Women--Minneapolis Branch, MacDonald & Mack Architects, and Watson Forsberg Construction.
