The Windmill House was built in 1927 by Willard and Sadie Sneller, south of Jens Embassy Restaurant and Bar on Interstate 35W and Embassy Road, Burnsville Minnesota. Dorothy Wolff purchased the house in 1957 and in 1965 sold the property to Ed Kraemer and Sons, a gravel and sand company, which tore it down. Del Stelling worked as a newspaper reporter and photographer, covering Savage, Burnsville, Eagan and other areas of Dakota County, Minnesota from 1959 - 1984.
This house at 402 South Fourth Street in St. Peter, Minnesota, was originally owned by William Schimmel, a local businessman who also served as the president of the First National Bank from 1871 to 1889.
