Project Overview

The Soo Line Depot became City Hall for Thief River Falls, MN. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An addition was added to provide secondary egress and handicapped accessibility to the basement, first and second floors. The large waiting room was preserved and accommodates the city engineering department. The City Administration, Zoning, Building Inspection, Community Development and Utilities departments are also located within the building. The project was funded through private donations, ISTEA and a Minnesota Historical Society Grant.
