International Market Square occupies a former Munsingwear factory at 275 Market Street in Minneapolis's North Loop. Built in 1912 for the underwear and apparel manufacturer, the building was converted in 1985 into a wholesale design center for furniture, textiles and home décor showrooms. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and today houses design firms, architecture offices and trade showrooms open to the public during Minneapolis's biannual design events. The rooftop signage spelling out "IMS" and "International Market Square" was added as part of the 1980s redevelopment, marking the building's shift from manufacturing to design commerce.
