Per Øverland article, 1997
Article about (Ole) Magnus Jemne, his ancestors and descendents, focusing especially on the Jemne Building in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. Jemne was born on the Silset farm, Gjemnes kommune, More og Romsdal fylke, March 31, 1 882. He immigrated to St. Paul, Minnesota, and worked as an architect. He married a German-American artist, Else Laubach, and together they designed the Jemne Building in 1931 for the Women's City Club. From 1970 until the 1990's the Minnesota Museum of Art used the building. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as "the finest example of art deco in the Middle West, perhaps in the entire country." IN 1996 the city purchased the building, later selling it to Wold Architects and Engineers for $459,000. The new owners spent about $2.2 million on renovations and furnishings, including a $250,000 subsidy from the city. The building is at the corner of St. Peter Street and Kellogg Boulevard; Information about Jemne's two daughters and their children was supplied by David E. Cross of the Minnesota Genealogical Society. Clipping of a Minneapolis "Star-Tribune" article (March 22, 1999) supplies the latest information.; Jemne also designed the war memorial at Summit Ave. and Mississippi River Boulevard in St. Paul, and homes on St. Paul's Crocus Hill and on Manitou Island in White Bear Lake.
