Masonic Temple
Location: Minneapolis, MN Built: 1888 Architect: Long and Kees Architectural style: Richardsonian Romanesque Governing body: Artspace Projects, Inc. NRHP Reference#: 75000987[1] Added to NRHP: September 5, 1975 The Hennepin Center for the Arts (HCA) was built in 1888 as a Masonic Temple. The structure was built by Long and Kees in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style.[2] In 1978, it was purchased and underwent a renovation to become the HCA.[3] It is located at 528 Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently, it is owned by Artspace and is home to more than 17 performing and visual art companies who reside on the building's eight floors.[4] The eighth floor is the Illusion Theater, which hosts many shows put on by companies in the building.
HCA is now a part of the The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts (formerly the Minnesota Shubert Performing Arts and Education Center). The new performing arts center is a three-building complex that includes the renovated Shubert Theatre building (renamed the Goodale Theater) and a new glass-walled atrium connecting the two historic buildings and serving them both as a common lobby. The Cowles Center will host its inaugural performance season Fall 2011.
