A New Life for the Slade Hotel

In the 1990s, people looked at the Slade Hotel and thought about tearing it down. But instead, a different plan was made! The building was saved and given a new purpose.

From Hotel to Homes

The Slade Hotel was changed into homes for older adults. This project was designed by architects from St. Paul, Minnesota. The renovation happened in 1997.

Keeping History Alive

During the renovation, some big changes were made. Old hotel rooms were combined to create apartments. The heating and cooling systems were also updated. Even with these changes, the building kept its original historic look and feel. This helped it keep its special historic status.

Special Recognition

The Slade Hotel has been recognized for its unique brick design. In September 2010, it was named the "Minnesota Brick Structure of the Month."
