At the Pentagon Then and Now

The five sided, fourteen floor Pentagon Apartment at 1415 East 22nd Street, with its imaginative design and consideration for comfort was one of 12 structures in the 10-million dollar Minneapolis Model City Senior Citizen program. Completed in 1963, the unique structure was built to provide low rent housing for seniors. This 100 unit  building was finished less than a year before the six-sided, but similar-looking, Central Hi-Rise across the river in St. Paul.
