In the 1970s, under a wave of pressure to eliminate all the older buildings in the Twin Cites, the Landmark Center was slated for destruction. However, a group was organized of concerned citizens and the building was saved. in 1978 the Landmark Center underwent a large renovation, and then was officially recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Today the building houses offices, research centers, a gift shop, a cafe and the Schubert Club Museum. The Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts also hold classes here.

Artist’s notes:
The drawing of the Landmark Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota was created in 1994. This was an epic drawing for me, due to the intricacies of the building, and the foreshortening of the right side. I had begun to move away from straight on views of the buildings I was drawing, and found this 3/4 style much more appropriate for such a lovely and historical building. As with the Minneapolis Courthouse, the clock tower shows a time of 10:21, which represents October 21st, my birthday.
