Lake Harriet Condos

LAKE HARRIET CONDOMINIUMS 4418 West Lake Harriet Parkway, Minneapolis Before the War, American housing of almost all types was built at an entirely different (meaning much smaller) scale than today. That is evident in these condominiums, built as apartments in 1922. Ranging in size from 500 to 825 square feet in floor area, they offer an authentic period living experience, much different from even what now seem to be smallish postwar apartments. Traditional prewar or classic modern furnishings of the 1920s would work efficiently in these very compact spaces. Of course, the big appeal of these units is not size but location: Lake Harriet is right out in front, and the Linden Hills commercial area is three blocks up the hilt, astride the bus line into Downtown.
