Fitzpatrick Building
The Fitzpatrick Building in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States, is an 1890 Queen Anne style commercial building featuring corner turret and pressed-metal relief. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Fitzpatrick building was built and designed in 1890 by developer Thomas Fitzpatrick. The building originally housed retail and commercial businesses on the first floor, professional offices on the second floor, and apartments on the third and fourth floors.
