WOW! THANKS Joe! Joe told me about the new apartment building on the site of the original Minneapolis Moline tractor factory, and that the decorator used a lot of the tractor stuff, even a few tractors in the foyer!


The Moline has the distinction of perhaps being the only apartment building in the Twin Cities with a veritable tractor museum. Chief Operating Officer Anne Behrendt said Doran is a big fan of incorporating public art and history into projects, and The Moline sits across from where the Minneapolis-Moline Power Equipment Co. operated until 1963. The first-floor lobby displays several tractors in a 2,200-square-foot space. 

“We saw the Moline tractors as pieces of art,” she said. “We wanted to showcase some of the history of Hopkins.”
