Dunnell, \u201cthe Administration Building is the most elaborate of the original Richardsonian Romanesque buildings on the campus, as well as the focal point of the Soldiers&#8217; Home. It is a tall, two-story brick and red sandstone structure built on a raised basement foundation of red sandstone. The east-facing facade overlooking the Mississippi River is dominated by an ornate, four-story square brick tower topped by a pyramidal roof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The tower is located to one side of the entrance and has a two-story, round bay on the facade, and a rich array of rusticated and carved stone with gargoyles and finials. A large, semicircular stone arch marks the main entrance (an identical arch is found on the west entry) which is surmounted by a wide panel of delicately carved stone tracery within which are figures depicting a cannon, admiral&#8217;s hat, and a peg leg\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The Administration Building originally contained offices for the Soldiers&#8217; Home, a library and reading room (which also served as a chapel), the commandant&#8217;s residence, and a storage room in the basement. The building continues to be used for administrative purposes today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPS Form 10-900)http:\/\/www.mnhs.org\/preserve\/nrhp\/nomination\/89000076.pdf<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Ashley Yellick&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: 5101 46th Ave.&nbsp; Administration Building, Minnehaha Veterans Home Complex &#8211; Built &#8230; <a title=\"Through the fallen leaves\u00a0\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/2017\/02\/19\/through-the-fallen-leaves\/\" aria-label=\"More on Through the fallen leaves\u00a0\">READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[964,140,530,1021],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5270"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
