Riverside Plaza and Cedar High Apartments stand illuminated against the twilight sky in Minneapolis’ Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Completed in the 1970s and designed by architect Ralph Rapson, the complex is one of the city’s most distinctive examples of modernist architecture. Its colorful paneling and Brutalist concrete forms house one of the most diverse communities in the region, symbolizing both urban renewal and the evolution of affordable housing in the Twin Cities.
