Hotel Sacred Heart Project
In December 2021 the Minnesota Historical Society awarded a $290,00 Cultural Heritage Grant to SHAHS for Hotel Sacred Heart Phase 2 construction. The SHAHS covered the remainder for a full match of $153,592. This phase to complete masonry rehabilitation and the entrance vestibules was finalized in 2023.
The Minnesota Historical Society awarded a Cultural Heritage Grant in the amount of $183,923 to SHAHS for the creation of construction documents for the next phases of restoration. The SHAHS provided a $6,530 match. The drawings address the remainder of the exterior work and interior work, except the tenant spaces.
Phase 1 construction to restore the Facade and Porches was completed in 2019.
Future construction projects will be advertised in the online plan room for Franz Reprographics. If you go to their website http://www.franzrepro.com/ at the top you will see a drop down menu titled "Planrooms" and our project will be in the "Franz Public Plan Room."
