The Curtis originally opened as a residential hotel with the 4 story building in the center of the block on 10th Street in 1903, The first 12 story tower, at 10th and 3rd Avenue, was built in 1911, followed by the second tower, at 10th Street and 4th Avenue, in 1917 or 1919, depending on who you believe. The Curtis remained one of downtown Minneapolis' largest and most prominent hotels until 1984, when it was demolished for what is currently the Ameriprise Operations Center.
