Lindstrom and Almars collection (N 49), Northwest Architectural Archives, University of Minnesota Libraries, Minneapolis.
The architectural practice of Lindstrom and Almars began in 1907 and existed until 1916. Little information is available about either partner. It is known that John Lindstrom was born in 1874 in Gottenburg, Sweden, and lived in Minneapolis for about 60 years. He retired in 1956. Joseph Almars was born in Minneapolis in 1884 and was a life-long resident of that city. He served as vice president of the Bureau of Engraving (a printing firm) and president of Art Instruction, Inc., a branch of the Bureau of Engraving, for many years after leaving Lindstrom. Both men died in Minneapolis.
The collection is composed of plans for a store building for E.E. Peterson, located at 310 S. 6th Street, Minneapolis. There are 5 sheets of elevations and plans with specifications (1913). Also in the collection are floor plans and elevations for an apartment building at 708 9th Street South, Minneapolis (1915).
An unpublished finding aid with detailed contents is available in the Manuscripts Division.
