Red Wing, MN

Miller Dunwiddie provided overall design and preservation services for Riverfront Centre, which is a full block of mixed-use development. On Red Wing’s Main Street, Riverfront Centre links the central business district with the City’s Levee Park along the Mississippi river. The development is the result of a unique public/private collaboration that included the rehabilitation of eleven historic buildings into a first floor retail mall with the upper floors as the corporate offices of the Red Wing Shoe Company. The balance of the site included a new city park and a new 350-car municipal parking ramp.

Located within a National Register Historic District, the rehabilitation of the existing buildings utilized the 20% Historic Tax Credits. The park and parking ramp were designed to be sympathetic with their historic context.
