The office then moved to the Dr. PH Lamb Cottage in Moorhead Minnesota in 1904. In 1920, the office moved to the U.S. Post office building in Moorhead, Minnesota. The office then relocated to Hector Airport in Fargo North Dakota in 1934 and renamed to the National Weather Service in 1970. In November 1994, the new modernized office building was completed on the west side of Grand Forks and began operations in the new facility and as part of the agency’s nationwide modernization effort.

    Theodore B. Wells and the firm of Wells-Denbrook Architects in North Dakota; 1923-1978 historic context study prepared by Steve C. Martens; Architect Architectural Historian (August 29, 2015 Revised Final version with GF HPC comments and State Review Board comments addressed) for the Grand Forks Historic Preservation Commission and the State Historic Preservation Office, State Historical Society of North Dakota Executive summary/Abstract: Theodore B. (Burfield) Wells had established his architectural practice in Grand Forks by 1923. He was joined in practice soon after World War II by Myron Denbrook. In approximately 1949, Denbrook was offered a full partnership. The firm completed extensive work throughout the Upper Red River Valley and in northeastern North Dakota. To a lesser extent, their work is found throughout North Dakota and in the northwestern corner of Minnesota. Wells retired from active practice in about 1964 and Denbrook associated briefly with Edward Adams at about that time. This context focuses on North Dakota work designed by the firm of Theodore B. Wells and later as Wells-Denbrook, from the firm’s inception until Wells, Denbrook, Adams, Wagner Architects merged to form EAPC (engineers and architects) in 1978. Required components of the context study: 1. Context narrative 2. Research methodology for review of archival resources 3. Research methodology for evaluating extant buildings on-site 4. Criteria for evaluating a property’s merit for future inclusion in the National Register 5. Defined scope of work for a future intensive level survey of extant Wells-Denbrook buildings in the state of North Dakota Part 1: 1.
