1700 3rd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN, USA - The Amos B. Coe House
The Amos B. Coe House and Carriage Barn is an excellent example of the Queen Anne architectural style designed for the upper-middle class of the late nineteenth century. The brick residence was constructed for Amos B. Coe, a Minneapolis real estate developer, in 1884. The carriage barn was added two years later. The buildings' Queen Anne form is enlivened by varied surface textures, multiple two-story bays, spindled porches and balconies, and chimney stacks piercing its multi-gable roof. Although many homes of this type were built in the late nineteenth century, few have survived and, of those, most have suffered major alterations. The Coe House and Carriage Barn is significant as an unusually picturesque representative of its architectural style and for its survival integrity in an urban environment.
