Ann Pflaum: An Anecdotal History of Northrop

University informal historian Ann Pflaum takes us on a journey through Northrop, from its inception in 1884 to its newest iteration today. After the talk, Gary Summerville will give a tour of the building.

An architectural treasure, Northrop is an enduring symbol of the University, the focal point of the Twin Cities campus, and the anchor of the Northrop Mall. Since opening in 1929, Northrop has served as the University’s primary gathering place for the performing arts, concerts, academic ceremonies, and major civic events.
