PARK POINT APARTMENTS

Park Point Apartments were built in 1948 on land that had been previously used as a Potter’s Field – paupers’ cemetery – by the City of Minneapolis.  See the history of the Pest House Here.

In 1945 the land was sold to Carl O. Carlson; the price for the 2.6 acres is reported as either $4030 or $5150.
