The K. J. Taralseth Company was a prominent retail business in Warren, Minnesota, United States, in operation 1888–1959. The original building it occupied burned down in 1910, so the owners commissioned a new building the following year which is still standing. Both facilities contained the department store as well as space for other tenants—including a Masonic temple—and hosted numerous community events. The 1911 building in which the K. J. Taralseth Company was housed for almost half a century was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for having local significance in the theme of commerce.[2] It was nominated for representing a business and a venue that served a central role in the life of the community.[3]
