This formed a complex of residential flats and storefronts surrounding a central courtyard. The complex also had two social halls, the Tamarack Lodge and the Old Fireside Inn, which were important community centers for St. Anthony Park. Notable tenants and ownersAugust Franke was an early anchor tenant and later building owner. He operated a meat market, a grocery, a bakery, and a notions shop. In the 1910s, he ran a lending library out of the store, and was instrumental in the formation of the neighborhood’s St. Anthony Park Branch Library. Franke owned the complex until his death in 1950.[2] Mary Ann Milton, an early woman realtor in St. Paul, purchased the complex in the late 1950s and is the current owner. Milton promoted the site's European flair, attracting fashionable boutiques and cafes as tenants.[3] Milton and the complex were frequent topics in Oliver Towne’s popular columns in the St. Paul Dispatch newspaper. Towne is believed to be the source of the name “Milton Square.” [4] The complex features several longtime neighborhood businesses, including Micawber Books (1972) and Muffuletta Restaurant (1977). Community significanceMilton Square has historically played an important role in the commerce and social life of the St. Anthony Park neighborhood, and several of its businesses are popular hangouts for University of Minnesota professors.[5] Milton Square is also architecturally significant as an intact example of Tudor Revival architecture and as the first design by Franklin Ellerbe,[6] the founder of Ellerbe Becket.
