The CENEX Building was built in 1957. The company was known as the Farmers Union Central Exchange at that time. The building is now used as office space for multiple companies.

The screen at Habitatts Tattoo appears to be from the 1960s. Does anyone know what was here originally?

Moorhead City Hall
Moorhead, MN
Moorhead City Hall was built in 1973. It is located in the Moorhead Center Mall.
