Stevens Square (technically Stevens Square/Loring Heights, Stevens Square being east of Nicollet Avenue and Loring Heights being west of it) is a small historic neighborhood within the Central community in Minneapolis.

Geography

Stevens Square/Loring Heights extends from Lyndale Avenue in the west to Interstate 35W in the east, and from Interstate 94 in the north to Franklin Avenue in the south. It is a short, wide neighborhood; the distance between Interstate 94 and Franklin Avenue is only three blocks at its farthest point, but the distance between Lyndale Avenue and Interstate 35W is nearly one mile. Stevens Square/Loring Heights is bordered by the following neighborhoods: Loring Park to the north, Ventura Village to the east, Whittier to the south, and Lowry Hill East to the west. It is also within blocks of the southern edge of Downtown Minneapolis via Nicollet and Third Avenues. ^[4]

Architecture

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. The neighborhood was designated by the city as a historic district in 1989 because of the number of 3+1⁄2-story apartment buildings surrounding Stevens Square Park. The buildings are similar in appearance with brown brick exteriors, contrasting limestone lintels, belt-coursing and columns flanking the main entrances. Most of the buildings have had very few external modifications. Five of the apartments are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, being designated in 1993.^[5]

History

The neighborhood was named after early Minneapolis settler Colonel John H. Stevens who is believed to have occupied the first house on the west side of the Mississippi in Minneapolis. ^[6]^[7] Stevens Square Park, a city park since 1907, is the center of the neighborhood and holds a historic community pump dating to 1915. The park occupies a city block between East 18th Street, East 19th Street, Stevens Avenue South, and 2nd Avenue South.
