PARK'S OLDEST BUILDINGS

Below is a listing of the oldest (1874-1911) homes and other buildings in St. Louis Park. Information on year built was provided by the City Tax Assessor's Office and is also available on the Hennepin County Property Information database.  This data may not always be correct; if you have better information, from an abstract, etc., please contact us.

To interpret the information below, be sure to visit our Historic Buildings and Houses page, where you will find entries for the Brick Block, Monitor Houses, and Walker Houses.  Also know that we suspect that many of these houses are not in their original locations.  Those we know have been moved to their present location are marked with an asterisk. 

In the year 2000, members of the Historical Society took photographs of most of the buildings that were built up to 1909.  These pictures are in an album at the Historical Society space at Lenox, and are available to view during office hours or by appointment.

For other pictures, note that the tax assessor took citywide photographs in 1954-55 and again in 1960.  Those photos and others are kept on the 3rd floor of City Hall and are available for viewing.
