out of st louis mn some info about the company:
The Louis F. Dow Company Building at 2242 University Avenue West was built in 1923 and designed by the Saint Paul architecture and engineering firm Toltz King & Day. Located at the southeast corner of University and Hampden avenues, it is a contributing structure at the eastern end of the locally-designated University-Raymond Commercial Historic District. The Dow Building is a three-story, reinforced concrete and brick structure with a raised basement. The east and south facades retain the original, large, multi-paned, steel sash windows. On the north (University Av.) and west elevations, window openings have been infilled with concrete block and small sliding windows. The building has elaborate terra-cotta detailing. The main entrance has been modernized. A parking lot is located at the rear of the site. The Louis F. Dow Company was an advertising specialty firm. They promoted “Goodwill Advertising,” offering calendars, holiday cards, pencils, and other novelties used for business promotion. The firm was founded in the 1890s and had offices across the country. Printing, shipping, and offices were housed in this building. In 1987, the building was converted from industrial use to small studios, workshops, and offices, as well as a few retail spaces. The 80,000 square-foot building has 55 tenants—many of them artists and creative enterprises. The Louis F. Dow Company Building is significant as a major industrial building in the Midway, erected during the area’s burst of growth after World War I. Despite partial infilling of the window openings, many of the historic exterior features are intact. The building is significant in the areas of commerce, architecture, and engineering.
