Alicia's Place features 11 units of permanent housing for homeless single women with disabiities. The project involved the historic rehabilition of a 1907 building and has won several local and national awards for excellence in historic preservtion and affordable housing development.

The building first was the Christian Bothers Home, and later became Sacred Heart Convent, and then apartments. Architect William Bray worked for Oliver Traphagen in the late 19th century and later practiced with vaious partners in Duluth until 1925.

Alicia's Place benefited from federal historic tax credits and a generous donation from the St. Scholastica Monastery.
