Two buildings of the former Ripley Memorial Hospital, currently operating as affordable housing. When redeveloped in 2007, it had nice landscaping that was quickly neglected and has become unrecognizable overgrowth today - see Google Streets images.

Turn of the century institutional building style mixed with a Charming Victorian house. The roof has a good view of downtown Minneapolis and area. The whole place is creepy and the house is the worst with doors that open by themselves.
