The 1887 Harry F. Legg House in Minneapolis

The Harry F. Legg House, located at 1601 Park Avenue in the Elliot Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, reflects the architectural style of late 19th-century professional families.

The Harry F. Legg House is a detached house in the Elliot Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Built in 1887, the house was developed as part of a tract housing project. Its design reflects the style of houses built for middle to upper-class professional families during the late 19th century.

The 1887 house retains its Queen Anne architectural integrity, having been altered little since it was originally constructed. The interior woodwork may have come from made to order catalogs that were circulating at that time. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Original owners Harry Legg and his wife Dora owned a jewelry store in downtown Minneapolis located on the corner of Nicollet Avenue and Fourth Street.
