Minneapolis, a city brimming with life, is also a cradle of relics from eras gone by. Among these gems lies the Hinkle-Murphy House on South 10th Street. Designed by William Channing Whitney, this home was built in 1886 as a private residence in the Colonial Revival style. It is considered to be the first Georgian Revival style house in Minnesota.
The house was occupied successively by Minneapolis businessmen William H. Hinkle and William J. Murphy. Located at 619 South 10th Street in the Elliot Park neighborhood near downtown Minneapolis, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its architectural significance.
As of 2007, the interior of the house is used as leasable office space. The building remains a historic detached residence that reflects the architectural work of Whitney, who later designed the Minnesota Governor's Residence.
