Summary

Significance: The Jackson Street Shops are remnants of one of the most important influences on the history of St. Paul and the Midwest. Initially they served as repair maintenance shops for the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway and later the Great Northern Railway Company. This limestone building, built in 1882, held the Blacksmith, Boiler and Foundry Shops and was vital to the total operation of locomotive and car maintenance.
