in September, 1939. The same general area today at CoCoMSP’s coworking space.
There is no question that CoCoMSP has succeeded in delivering on the promise of co-working facilities. Their spaces are in unique and compelling structures, they have learned how to give what a discerning group of people desire in just such a setting, and have also become smart about, and blazed their own trails, when it comes to best practices in coworking.

If you’ve not yet been to the CoCo space in the former Minneapolis Grain Exchange building in downtown Minneapolis, the transformation of the former trading floor is just a delight to behold and you owe it to yourself to visit soon.
We thought you’d be interested in some photos that we recently discovered. We were alerted to them by Kim Garretson, who posted about a Yale University search offering called Photogrammar. This web-based search site makes it very easy to find photos within the 170,000 of them that the Library of Congress archives.
Garretson had linked to these 401 photos categorized as “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota”. enjoyed digging through photos like these from Minneapolis. That batch of photos included the ones you see below, taken in 1939, of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange in action. Enjoy!
