September 20, 1977 – The Advance Thresher/Emerson-Newton Implement Company buildings
in downtown Minneapolis were put on the National Register of Historical Places
on this date.1 Designed
by the architectural firm of Kees and Colburn, what looks like one building was
“actually conceived as two manufacturing buildings. The Emerson-Newton Plow
Company Building, built in 1904, mimicked the design of the Advance Thresher
Building of 1900.
At first glance, it is difficult to discern the difference in storiation, but in fact, the Emerson-Newton Building is six stories, whereas the Advance Thresher is five.”2
