The Towers/River Towers Condominiums, 15 South 1st Street, Minneapolis
Back in 1959, the city embarked on a massive urban-renewal program to clear out the teeming "slum" district known as the Gateway. Hundreds of crumbling structures (and a few architectural landmarks) were razed, to be replaced by sparkling new buildings. The elimination of dozens of bars and flophouses cheered respectable citizens, but the consequent steep drop in human activity resulted in a sense of deadness within the district. This was to be cured by The Towers, upscale apartments intended to bring the right kind of human activity to the Gateway. Of course, the upper-middle-income Towers tenants were not the sort to stand around on area sidewalks all day, like the thousands of "bums" urban renewal had displaced. But this was the earliest downtown housing of the postwar era in Minneapolis, and due to quality construction has maintained its appeal more than four decades after opening. Especially the updated living units are well-scaled and eminently livable, enhanced by a large landscaped pool terrace and tennis courts.
