    And I thought McMansions invented the overly complex rooflines

    Wow…a lot of great old buildings came down in the 50’s and early 60’s in the name of Modernism.

    This photo was taken during the house’s prime years. I wonder if it was run down by 1961….

    Minneapolis-St. Paul have some great neighborhoods but they lost a shitload of neighborhoods and places from the freeways. I’d say it’s worse there than other comparable Midwestern cities, how diced you they are by the massive freeways.

    Wow this house takes irregular floorplan to the extreme for a Victorian! Also this house is effectively 4 floors tall! 😮

    This place was definitely haunted.

    Obviously a vampire residence, love to see the survival rates in the hospital
