The brick and stone Sardeson building was built in the commercial vernacular as an addition to the Globe Hotel in 1877. The building has undergone extensive renovations since 2016 when Mineral Point potter and stonemason Roland Sardeson bequeathed the building to Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts for use as lodging rooms, a pottery studio, and a gallery space. The second-floor studio apartment lovingly decorated and dedicated as Roland’s Loft in May 2018 features modern amenities and historical touches befitting Roland’s unique spirit. The creative community of Mineral Point awaits right outside your door, which is just a five-minute walk from the Shake Rag Alley campus.
