Barbour/LaDouceur wins Builder's Choice award
Fargo has a very uncosmopolitan reputation. The Donaldson Hotel is trying to change that. The 17-room downtown landmark recently underwent a renovation overseen by Barbour/LaDouceur, a Minneapolis firm. Working with builder Foss Associates and developer Old Fargo, the architects helped put downtown Fargo on the map again. A Fargo Forum article describes the hotel as "an icon of Fargo's new growth." There are 17 "custom suites" in the 1893 building, a restaurant, jazz bar and a rooftop garden.
