How much did the original Lindbergh Terminal at Minneapolis–Saint Paul cost?

The Lindbergh Terminal (Terminal 1-Lindbergh) is the original terminal of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, for which ground-breaking ceremonies were held in 1958 and which opened to the public in 1962, renamed after Charles A. Lindbergh in 1985. Wikipedia's expansion history gives its cost as USD 8.5 million, and the Metropolitan Airports Commission's history pages confirm the 1958 groundbreaking and the 1962 opening but state no cost.
