Colonial Warehouse is a building located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

History

Constructed in 1885, Colonial Warehouse is rich in history and is part of Minneapolis' Historic Warehouse District. Formally known as the Minneapolis Street Railway Company Building, the property now bears the name Colonial Warehouse. The warehouse was intended to be the powerhouse for a cable car system that was never built. Instead it became an electric carhouse, and the first electric powerhouse for streetcars in 1890. The building housed the general offices and the paint and woodworking shops during the horse-drawn streetcar era. Thomas Lowry, the Head of the Minneapolis Street Railway Company, chose this site as the firm’s headquarters. It became the main offices of the Minneapolis Street Railway Company until 1904.[1]

gollark: What does the MAC address have to do with any of this?

gollark: These things mostly just use links over the existing internet, since the few people who are interested mostly don't live near each other.
gollark: It's a mesh network thing. Unlike the normal hierarchical unternet, where people have a link with their ISP, who then connects to an internet exchange or something, mesh nets can have anyone peer with anyone and the routing is automatically worked out. Yggdrasil is quite like the more popular cjdns, but with a different routing algorithm based on a tree which may be more scaleable (it doesn't always return the shortest path, but uses less memory).
gollark: Oh, I run that for arbitrary reasons, it's neat.
