Nicollet Studios

Defunct recording studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota, of independent record label Twin/Tone Records, whose offices were located upstairs.

Existed under this name at 2541 Nicollet Avenue starting circa 1984-85, in the building that was the original home to the Garrick Movie Theater (June 8, 1914), later the LaSalle Theatre (October 1932 to 1950). Converted to a recording studio by Dale Menten and existed at this location until approximately 1984. In 1983, Cookhouse opened a second location in downtown Minneapolis, at 10 S. 5th Street, to concentrate on audio/video post-production.

In 1984, Cookhouse sold the original Nicollet Avenue studio to independent record label Fingerprints (9)).

In 1985, Minneapolis band Hüsker Dü moved into the offices next door (2539 Nicollet Ave.).

In March 1988, Starks sold the building to Creation Audio (whose address is now 2543 Nicollet Avenue), and moved Twin/Tone's operations to 2217 Nicollet Avenue. Starks sold the 2217 building in 2003 and Twin/Tone moved back into the basement of his home.
