History

The historic building of IMS has been home to several innovative and creative pioneers of Minneapolis design.

Built in 1905, the IMS building was modeled after the San Francisco Design Center. Initially, the structure served as the manufacturing facility for Northwestern Knitting. It later housed the headquarters for Munsingwear Inc., a business that transformed the garment industry with its union suit.

In 1985, International Market Square became Minnesota’s largest renovated building and our home, providing the most innovative and celebrated interior design resources. Whether you need help with your office, kitchen, bathroom, lighting, windows, or fabric/textiles, we’ve got you covered.

IMS is proud to be part of this enduring landmark of design.
