RETHOS: Justice + Preservation – Hidden Stories of Landmark Center Tour

Explore one of St. Paul’s most iconic buildings—from grand courtrooms to hidden historic spaces – part of the City Stories festival. Experience a landmark where history, architecture, and justice converge. Step back in time and discover seldom seen spaces of one of St. Paul’s most iconic treasures. Join us for a behind-the-scenes guided exploration designed for the curious at heart. This is not your average historical walk-through. We are peeling back the curtain to give you exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to areas of the building rarely seen by the public. As you traverse this 100+ year-old masterpiece, you’ll walk the same halls that once served as a bustling U.S. Post Office and a high-stakes Federal Courthouse. From the basement theater to the upper courtrooms, to a throne with a view, our expert guides will share stories of the architecture, infamous trials, and the meticulous preservation of this Romanesque Revival gem. Whether you are a history buff or an architecture enthusiast, this immersive journey offers a rare perspective on the operations of Landmark Center’s enduring legacy.
