Minneapolis (September 15, 2005) – Preservation Alliance of Minnesota (PAM) and the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission have both honored Miller Dunwiddie with preservation awards for their work on the U of M Southeast Steam Plant in Minneapolis, Minn..

The rehabilitation project maintained the current function of the 1903 building in a manner consistent with its status on the National Register of Historic Places.
