Built in 1887 by architect William Channing Whitney, the mansion at The Abbey's entrance is a historic Loring Park landmark. Once considered among Minneapolis' 10 most endangered historic places, the 133-year-old stone structure was first the residence of Horatio Alden Smith -partner in the Smith & Wyman Sash and Door Co. Over the years, the mansion became home to several notable Minneapolis families before being purchased by the state in 1996. For a decade, the site served as offices for Minneapolis College. But as restoration costs mounted, the mansion faced an uncertain future. Until now.
As part of The Abbey Apartments, this thoughtfully restored mansion is now home to the next generation of world shakers - and the coolest social club in town.
Steps from the gorgeous fountains and lakeside trails of Loring Park, The Abbey brings a touch of timeless class to today's modern lifestyle. This elegant lifestyle offers a wide range of rental options - from spacious studios to two-bedroom apartments - all connected to a 19th Century mansion that's been thoughtfully restored with refined amenities.
