Como Park - Streetcar Station, Saint Paul, MN

Honor Award - Preservation Minnesota 2002


Lunning Wende Associates was selected by the City of Saint Paul, Division of Parks and Recreation to develop a program, restoration plan and exhibit design for the restoration and re-use of the Como Park Streetcar Station.  The use program calls for an office space and meeting room/exhibition space. The building’s interior was ‘stripped to its bones’ to return a sense of the openness last seen in its original use.


Lunning Wende also designed the exhibit space.  A terrazzo floor map of the city, with parks, trolley lines, and landmarks highlight the exhibit space and leads visitors on an adventure through Saint Paul in 1909.
