5319 Upton Ave S, Minneapolis, MN, USA
5319 Upton Ave S Home History Purcell and Strauel, 1929-33 These four speculative houses were designed by William Purcell, living at the time in Portland, OR, and minus his old partner, George Elmslie. By the late 1920s, the Prairie Style was no longer in vogue, so Purcell-working with one of his former draftsman, Frederick Strauel had to dress his designs in Period Revival attire. Even so, he couldn't quite shed his Prairie roots, which are particularly evident in the house at 5315 Upton. Its second-story windows are arranged in a band under the eaves (a Prairie hall- mark), while the arched entrance looks to have been drawn from one of Purcell and Elmslie's small-town banks.
