The Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged is a building in northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota built by a charitable organization, the Little Sisters of the Poor. They came to Minneapolis in 1889 to build a home for the aged. Architect Frederick Corser designed the first part of the building in 1895, consisting of a three and one-half story building with an attached chapel. Corser's design was based more on its scale and proportion than on its ornamentation.[cite web|url=http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/hpc/landmarks/Broadway_St_NE_215_Little_Sisters_Poor_Home.asp|title=Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged|publisher=Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission|date=February 2007|accessdate=2008-06-05] ]The home needed more space, so in 1905, Corser designed an east wing of the structure, following the original design principles. In 1914, still more space was added in a west wing, this time designed by Frederick Kees and Serenus Colburn, but following the same design. The Sisters and their patients later moved in 1977 to a new building in Saint Paul. The old building, on Broadway Street Northeast between Second and Third Avenues, was renovated into a 71-unit apartment complex.
