Minneapolis Warehouse District, Gluek Brewing Company Hotel & Saloon, 24 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, MN

Significance: The Gluek Brewing Company Hotel and Saloon is one of several extant turn-of-the-century buildings designed by Minneapolis architect Christopher Adam Boehme in the Neoclasscial style as a company-owned bar and hotel. Built by Gluek in 1914 to replace a building of similar function, it catered to the workingmen and unemployed of the Gateway area, the milling district, and the warehouse district. It was typical of the dozens of saloons which thrived in this neighborhood of downtown Minneapolis at the turn of the century. This building is a well-proportioned example of a small design by Boehme. It was listed as a contributing building when the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 1989.
