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." Funding was provided in part by a 2014 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Grand Forks (project number ND-14-28) administered by the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P14AF00119) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Grand Forks, North Dakota is a Certified Local Government.
