INTRODUCTION
According to Minneapolis building permits, Builder Frank S. Nordin partially completed this large Colonial Revival home in October of 1905. In 1907, Contractor James J. Frankman completed the job through what appears to be an extensive structural alteration to the home's foundation. Frankman finished the job by September of 1907 at a total combined cost of $6,310. Upon completion, James Frankman and his family immediately took up residence.
ORIGINAL OWNER
Although Frank S. Nordin at least partially completed this home, there are no records indicating that he ever resided at this address. However, Nordin did later end up building and living in two other Park Avenue homes: 3425 Park and 3505 Park, respectively. He remained a Park Avenue resident until the 1930s.
Minneapolis City Directories list James J. Frankman as 3310 Park's first occupant beginning in 1908. Frankman was a building contractor and Owner of Frankman Bros. Building Contractors. He lived at this address with his wife, Josephine, and their daughter, Fucille, and three sons, Leo, Gerald, and James until the 1930s.
