Overview

Minerva made a specialty of designing houses—for women clients specifically.

Although her portfolio shows remarkable range—featuring commercial and industrial buildings, a few hotels, a handful of schools and churches, and several women’s clubs—it was residential architecture that Minerva considered her chosen forté. With designs spanning the late 19th and early 20th century, her residential projects track her evolution as a designer, culminating in the house that she designed for herself late in life.
