The Anne C. and Frank B. Semple House, standing on West Franklin Avenue 100 in the heart of Minneapolis, whispers tales of a bygone era. First inhabited by Frank Semple, a partner in Janney, Semple, and Co, this grand mansion showcases the stunning Beaux-Arts architectural style. Its exterior, with an entry porch graced by Ionic columns and a Palladian window, captures one's breath while the interior promises even grander wonders.
The entrance leads to a reception hall decorated with mahogany paneling and a frescoed ceiling. The hardwood floor - adorned with marble inlays - adds a touch of luxury, while the generous 1,000 square foot living room invites warm conversations and laughter. In 1998, the Semple House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, inviting curious visitors to catch a glimpse of a past, exuding grandeur and opulence.
The mansion is now available as a reception site for weddings and other events, preserving its status as a landmark in the Stevens Square/Loring Heights neighborhood.
