The house was constructed in 1892 and moved to its present location in 1909 as part of Cass Gilbert’s architectural design plan for the University of Minnesota campus. The architectural style of the house is Arts and Crafts/Prairie School and it is listed as a contributor to the historic district along with many others in the neighborhood. The rental unit is a 1,200 square-foot upper level duplex apartment with tree-top views of the neighborhood, including the iconic Witch’s Hat water tower (rumored to be the inspiration for Bob Dylan's song "All Along the Watchtower"). As with many homes built in this era, there are a number of features to this home that add to its historic charm, like cast iron radiators for heat in the winter, large open living and dining spaces, and vintage hardwood floors. The usual tradeoffs that come with old houses apply here - temperature control takes some patience, the bathroom and kitchen are small, and the original hardwood floors are creaky. We’ve made updates as needed and have furnished the space to make guests comfortable, and we work to maintain the house’s original features. If you appreciate the charms of a 125-year-old home, this is the place for you. Our Commitment to the Planet: Our home is powered by renewable energy through the Windsource program.

Guest access Guests have full and private access to the entire unit, including two bedrooms, large living room, dining room, kitchen, and full bath.
