The history of the Casket Arts Building

The Northwestern Casket Company dates back to 1887, making it one of the oldest buildings in the twin cities. The building served as a casket factory until January of 2005, and the current owners are breathing new life into the building with the goal of creating space for artists and a commercial studio.
