description

Summary

Significance: The Fredrika Bremer School was constructed to provide for the educational needs of the Minneapolis neighborhoods north of Broadway, an area which had undergone significant expansion during the decade of the 1880s. At present there are only two older school buildings in Minneapolis, and both of them have been substantially modified. The Bremer School is, therefore, recognized as "the oldest architecturally important school building standing in Minneapolis." Further, the Bremer School is an excellent example of educational buildings as they existed in the late-nineteenth century. The medieval, castle-like appearance of mass and architectural detail found in the Bremer School, once popular features, are now rare in buildings of this nature.
