Why a Minnesota bank building ranks among the nation's most significant architecture - PBS NewsHour
The National Farmers’ Bank in Owatonna, Minnesota, is one of the most significant architectural works in the country, part of the Prairie School of Design. Kaomi Lee of Twin Cities PBS went to see why this 1908 building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, continues to attract tourists from around the nation and the world. It’s part of our arts and culture series, "CANVAS."
Kaomi Lee:
There is a building in Owatonna that looks like a jewel box, arched windows, warm, terra-cotta flourishes, not afraid of color. It's now a Wells Fargo Bank, but it started out under a different name.
Richard Kronick, Architectural Historian:
There is no more significant building in the United States. This is one of probably the top 10 most important buildings in the whole country. And that is because of Louis Sullivan.
