Welcome to the Pioneer Endicott, an iconic gem nestled in St. Paul's historic Lowertown neighborhood at 141 4th Street E. A masterpiece of architectural brilliance by the renowned architect Cass Gilbert, the Pioneer Endicott comprises three distinguished buildings linked by a one-story L-shaped shopping arcade, The Pioneer, erected in 1889, and the two Endicott buildings located on Robert and 4th streets, completed in 1890. Once the tallest building in St. Paul and the original headquarters of the Pioneer Press, The Pioneer proudly introduced the United States' first glass elevator. Combined in 1941, Pioneer Endicott is adorned with marble walls, terrazzo floors, lavish embellishments, and an abundance of skylights, exuding a timeless opulence that continues to captivate its audience.
