About this property

The Pan Motor Company Office and Sheet Metal Works are the two surviving buildings of a former motor vehicle manufacturing complex in St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States. They were built from 1919 to 1920 for Samuel Pandolfo's Pan Motor Company, which produced about 750 vehicles between 1917 and its failure in 1922. The office is a single-story brick building with a flat roof, while the sheet metal works is a much larger steel and concrete structure topped by a double monitor roof. The buildings were jointly listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for having local significance in the theme of industry. They were nominated for being the remnants of St. Cloud's first large industrial complex and Minnesota's leading, if short-lived, auto manufacturer.
