townhouses and
apartment
An apartment (American English), or flat (British English, Indian English, South African English), is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies part of a building, generally on a single story. There are ma ...
s in the
Loring Park neighborhood of
Minneapolis,
Minnesota, United States. Both buildings are located in an area that surrounded the once-elegant Hawthorne Park. The townhomes were built first, in 1886 by Hodgson & Sons in the
Second Empire style, using red brick, stone, and
terra cotta. The apartments were designed in 1897 by locally prominent architect
Harry Wild Jones, who preferred an eclectic style. The building is four stories tall, built of red brick and stone, and features a corner bay. They were built by Anthony Kelly, a nineteenth-century businessman who pioneered the wholesale grocery business in Minneapolis. Both the townhouses and the apartments were listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The apartments are now incorporated in the Laurel Village development.
