But the building has been so remodeled, including changing its distinctive exterior, and wouldneed be further remodeled in the future. Millett concludes there's little left to save. Its tenant, the Guthrie, hopes to move to a new theater complex on the Minneapolis riverfront by 2005. The neighboring Walker Art Center, which owns the Guthrie building, wants to raze it to make way for an ambitious $90-million expansion. The Minneapolis City Council holds the ultimate fate of the building, and Millett anticipates it will approve a permit request from the Walkerto tear it down.
