South Summit Avenue: Oakland to Dale

610 Summit Avenue
Built: 1927
Style: Late Classical Revival

Built at an estimated cost of $70,000 for the Atlas Housing Corporation of Minneapolis, this building and its twin at 616 Summit, make an interesting comparison with apartment buildings built on Summit Avenue at the turn of the century. These two buildings rely on decorative brickwork to achieve texture and ornamentation, while earlier builders adorned their buildings with much more lavish applied decoration.
