An Ironclad History

Constructed in 1867, The Union Grain Elevator (or “Elevator E”) that once stood on the site was one of the earliest and largest wood grain elevators built in Minneapolis (able to hold up to 130,000 bushels of grain). The elevator was located directly on the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Saint Paul railway that ran towards the adjacent Mill District along the Mississippi. After just 10 years of use, The Union elevator caught fire and burned to the ground. The elevator was subsequently reconstructed, and clad in iron to protect the structure against future fires.

Honoring the rich history of the old site’s enduring spirit, Ironclad Apartments were constructed with reinforced rebar, concrete and a weather-tough brick exterior—built beautiful, built right and built to last. You’ll find welcome protection inside as well, on-site security, concierge, controlled keyless entry, and more—all to make your safety, security and comfort 100% Ironclad.
