U.S. Bank is in a former hotel and restaurant building. The Tree Top restaurant - sometimes known as the Treetop - opened in 1975. But its history began a quarter century earlier. In the late 1940s, a group of investors, including Frederick Martin, began building a downtown Moorhead hotel, which was known as the F-M Hotel when it opened in 1950. Contrary to what many people believed, the initials stood for the Frederick Martin Hotel, not the Fargo-Moorhead Hotel. The hotel operated a restaurant - the precursor to the Tree Top - on its top floor. From 1950 to 1975, the hotel went through several ownership changes. Through them all, however, the restaurant continued to operate on the top floor. In the early 1970s, the hotel was converted into an office building and The Tree Top opened in 1975. The name, apparently, is a reference to giving its patrons a bird's eye view of downtown Fargo-Moorhead. After the Tree Top closed, U.S. Bank began to use the old restaurant space on the 7th floor.

    The President of the investor group was Martin B Johnson a Moorhead Businessman. The hotel was named after Mr. Johnson's son Frederick Martin who was 4 years old at the opening of the hotel.

    I remember fondly the Tree Top as my husband and i enjoyed many a fine meal there while visiting from Winnipeg. It was indeed a marvellous view of the cities in 1976
