On This Date in Minnesota History: September 20
September 20, 1984 – Placed on the
National Register of Historical Places on this date, “the
William H. Hinkle House survives as a remaining trace of the once elegant
residential South 10th Street, bordering downtown Minneapolis.
Well-known architect William Channing Whitney was commissioned by William H.
Hinkle, a leading flour producer, to design a prominent urban residence.
Whitney, who was never regarded as a design innovator, chose a variant of the
Georgian Revival style of architecture. The result is a distinguished
structure, with a formal, symmetrical facade. Apart from layers of white paint
and the removal of a balustrade, the house and its lot appear today as they did
in 1887.
