Saint Anthony Main

It is now home to a movie theater, four bars and restaurants, a small cafe, design firms, and a Segway tour operator.

[1][2] Saint Anthony Main sits on the other side of Central Avenue from Riverplace, a housing and office complex.

It fronts the river at Saint Anthony Falls, the only waterfall on the Mississippi River, and sits across from the Main Street Station, host of the Water Power Park, which opened in Spring 2007.

[3] Some of the buildings in the area date from the 1850s when the Village of Saint Anthony on the northeast side of the Mississippi River was still separate from Minneapolis itself.

Several are contributing properties to the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District:[4] There are newer buildings in the area such as Phoenix on the River and the Mill and Main apartments and the Stone Arch Apartments complexes.
