Bonneville Apts. 1875-1988


The Bonneville Apartments Under Demolition, 1988

Located on the NE corner of Park and Lawrence, the Bonneville was built in 1875 and remodeled around 1926 in the Mission Style. Colorful mosaic tiles decorated the floor of the small Park Ave. entryway, and several light wells brightened the interior. There was no elevator; a wide central stairwell served the two top floors. A flight of back stairs led down to the parking lot on the east side. Coal for the large furnace in the basement was delivered via a chute on the Lawrence St. (south) side of the building.

This great view was taken from the City-County (old Federal) Building by Jeff Sherlock.

The east side of the Bonneville Apts, ca.1913.
