Architectural drawings were revised by a qualified historical architect ahead of schedule and on budget. The work exceeded our expectations. This was achieved because TSHS engaged a highly qualified historical architect by engaging the services of MacDonald and Mack Architects. The guidance of Minnesota Historical Society staff should also be credited. Staff worked with TSHS after previous grant requests were not funded. They provided clarity on project concerns and supported TSHS on a new path on which to proceed.
