Washburn-Fair Oaks Mansion District, Historic mansion district in Whittier neighborhood, Minneapolis, United States.

The district contains seven grand mansions along 22nd Street East, showcasing different architectural styles from the late 1800s and early 1900s.

William D. Washburn's Fairoaks mansion, constructed in 1884 with 40 rooms, stood on the grounds until 1924 when maintenance costs led to its demolition.

The Minneapolis Institute of Art, completed in 1915, occupies the former estate location and maintains connections to the district's architectural heritage.

Visitors can walk through the district streets to observe the preserved mansions, which now serve various functions including offices and organizational headquarters.

The Eugene Merrill House, built in 1884, features Richardsonian Romanesque architecture with red sandstone walls and a distinctive polygonal tower.

Location: Minneapolis

Address: 1st and 2nd Aves., 22 Street, and Stevens Ave.
