New on the National Register of Historic Places: Alano Society of Minneapolis Clubhouse, 2218 1st Ave. S., Minneapolis, Minn.
Originally the home of wealthy industrialist John Washburn, the residence, built in 1887, was acquired by the Alano Society of Minneapolis, the state’s first chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), in 1942. The building was used for local AA meetings, regional events, and talks from notable speakers. It also acted as an information hub for AA chapters in the greater Minneapolis area. The property is located within the locally designated Washburn Fair-Oaks Historic District. The building is still in use today by the Alano Society of Minneapolis, making it the oldest continuously operating Alano Club at a single location in the world.

Reims is considered the Art Deco capital of France because, after being heavily damaged in the First World War, a great deal of reconstruction took place in the 1920s and 30s. After the Art Nouveau style had run its course, the simpler lines of Art Deco became all the rage. Les Halles du Boulingrin is part of that architectural heritage.
The market hall, completed in 1929, is a listed historical monument with an impressively constructed ceiling. With no central supports on the inside, the parabolic arch spans a space more than 100 meters long and 38 meters wide. The tinted glass gives the interior a golden glow, and the side doors are highlighted with pale green polished cement. After falling into disrepair, the hall was renovated between 2008 and 2012. Markets are now held there twice a week.
