Jackson Street Shops, Chimney, Jackson Street & Pennsylvania Avenue, Saint Paul, Ramsey County, MN

Significance: The Jackson Street Shops are the oldest standing stone railroad shops in Minnesota. The shops were built for the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway, precursor of the Great Northern Railway, owned and operated by James J. Hill and are one of the few remaining examples of "machine shop" limestone architecture. The brick chimney served the boiler plant connected to the Machine Shop which provided steam to the original shop complex.
