Important mid-century office building for several reasons: First office major complex built outside of Minneapolis (1954). Originally designed and built for Prudential Insurance Company of America as it expanded into a regional headquarter model (this was one of six complexes across the country). Highly controversial at the time because of the park board's original 1952 decision to sell 30+ acres of Theodore Wirth Park for private development; this resulted in a lawsuit that rose up to the Minnesota Supreme Court where it was decided in favor of selling the land in 1953.

Presently used as offices for Target Financial Services (Credit cards, etc)
