A name can tell you a lot about a person, and the same goes for a building. The Marie Antoinette is truly one of our finest buildings; it has even been said that it is one of the best Art Deco buildings in the entire state. Throughout the halls are almost 100 hand-painted murals surrounded by the original moldings. All of the units still contain the original Art Deco door knocker from when it was built, hardwood floors throughout, and most units contain the original Art Deco light fixtures as well. The Marie Antoinette is surely a building you will want to call home.

Art Deco is a popular design style from the 1920s and 1930s that is known for its elegance, sophistication, and luxury. It aims to incorporate artistic touches into functional objects. First appearing in France, it is certainly one of the most influential decorating styles from the first half of the 20^th century.  Art Deco can be identified with: 

• Clean lines: Simple, streamlined shapes, symmetry, and repetition of elements
• Geometric forms: Bold outlines and zigzag shapes
• Vibrant colors: Rich use of color; bright, energetic and bold
• Exotic materials: Chrome, glass, ebony, ivory, stainless steel, and plastics, often combined with natural materials like jade and silver
• Exquisite craftsmanship: Quality resulting from passion, care and attention to detail

The Marie Antoinette building is located right off of Minneapolis’ Eat Street corridor, a vibrant stretch of Nicollet Avenue featuring iconic cultural cuisine.  “Meet Minneapolis” describes the Eat Street corridor as, “Minneapolis’ Grand Tour of international food. The Yellow Brick Road of ethnic flavors."

The perfect mix of history, architecture, design and culture--The Marie Antoinette is a timeless gem that will continue to inspire generations to come.
