An historic downtown Fargo Building...

Nearly 100 years about (September 5, 1910, to be precise) Teddy Roosevelt came to Fargo and gave a speech across the street from the VIP Restaurant.

Of course the restaurant wasn't there at the time, but the building was.

First constructed in 1894, with three extra floors added a few years later, the building, known as Block Six, was the home of the OJ deLendrecie Department Store, over of the fledgling city's classiest and most popular downtown department stores.

In fact, it had a popular Tea Room right down where the VIP Restaurant is now.

Block Six was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1979.
