 Although one of the densest neighborhoods in Minneapolis today, the land was originally occupied by a few large mansions.Today, the area is composed mostly of old brownstone apartment buildings or mansions that have been subdivided into apartments, giving the neighborhood a heavy population density within its small geographical area; a short and wide neighborhood, it is nearly a mile long but only three blocks tall.Much of the neighborhood is a National Historic District, and five of the apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
