Blair Flats, also known as the Blair Arcade Building, is a Victorian residential building designed by Hermann Kretz and William H. Thomas in 1887, located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. The building is located on the intersection of Western and Selby Avenues. It is also a contributing property to the Historic Hill District.[1] Construction materials are sandstone and brick. The building has been used as apartments, hotel, and condominiums.[2]
From 2006 to 2012 the lower level of the building housed Common Good Books, an independent bookstore owned by Garrison Keillor. The space currently holds SubText: a Bookstore, a community-oriented independent bookstore owned by veteran bookseller Sue Zumberge.
