Built in 1918 with three additional floors added in 1922, the Parkway was advertised as the nicest small Hotel in Minneapolis. If desired a furnished room became a living room with a disappearing bed. Apartments had private baths and rates during the depression were nine to eleven dollars per week. In 1940, the Midland Hotels Company purchased the Maryland Hotel for $140,000. Located at Grant and La Salle, it was one of the city’s largest residential hotels.
