In 1860, Red Wing, Minnesota was a thriving riverfront trade center. Just 15 years later it had become the largest primary wheat market in the world and was well on its way to becoming a showplace with Victorian, Italianate and Tudor Mansions, imposing public buildings, huge granaries, an impressive array of brick and limestone churches.
Architectural Treasures
Today, the little city arguably contains the greatest number of interesting 19th and early 20th Century buildings in the north central United States. For example, there’s the 1904 T. B. Sheldon Memorial Auditorium in the historic Mall /district (443 West Third Street), with its red carpet, velvet draperies and ornately decorated ivory and gold walls is a show-stopper whose stage is still regularly used for everything from bluegrass band to classical piano performances, plays presented by little theater groups and concerts by the Sheldon Theatre Brass Band.
Another elegant landmark, St. James Hotel (406 Main Street), opened on Thanksgiving Day, 1875. Purchased by the Redwing Shoe Company and completely renovated and expanded in 1977, the hotel, restaurants and shops echo Victorian splendor. Tours, which include the public rooms and “display guestroom for the day”, are offered (inquire at the registration desk).
