1010 Park Ave S
Vanessa Haight, EPNI

Consideration of nominating former Enger Funeral Building for Historical Resource designation. 

1010 Park Avenue (aka 640 Grant Street, Enger Funeral Home) was identified as a potential historic resource in the 2008 reconnaissance-level survey of the Loring Park and Elliot Park neighborhoods.  The building was designed by Martin Lindquist, the architect for nearby potential historic resources like 2615 Park Avenue South, and built by the Field Martin Company, who designed properties in Minneapolis historic districts like St Andrew’s Hospital at 708 5^th ST SE/414 7^th Ave SE in the 5^th ST SE Historic District.  Demolition would require an approved Demolition of a Historic Resource application from the City’s Heritage Preservation Commission. 

Request: Consider nominating 1010 Park Ave S as a historical resource.
