Freight House in Stillwater, Minnesota. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Freight House and Depot is overlooking the St. Croix River on the eastern fringe of Stillwater. The freight house and depot, built in 1883, is a simple vernacular building. Exterior ornamentation consists of a series of arched doors and windows on both sides of the building. Constructed of limestone and brick the building measures 200 feet by 40 feet. The limestone foundation walls measure approximately two feet thick. The brick bearing walls are eighteen inches thick and thirty feet high. (The limestone was quarried in the nearby North Quarry.) Date of its construction is 1883. The mill construction and truss system of the building are significant as examples of .wood structural engineering. The first map of Stillwater (1848) indicates that the present site of the building was once Lake St. Croix. Therefore, the building required elaborately engineered pilings to support the tremendous weight of the limestone foundation and brick walls. One of the most interesting features of the building was its dual use - passenger and freight. The building served as a freight house and passenger depot until 1955.
The Rivertown Inn, also known as John and Anna O'Brien House, in Stillwater, Minnesota. John O'Brien was born in Maine in 1849. Anna was born in New York State in 1855. They were married in 1879. In 1870, when John was 21, the logging firm of the O'Brien Brothers [James and John] was formed, which later merged into the firm of Anderson [James] & O'Briens. The firm did well, and by all accounts John was a prosperous man. The house has been called the first full-fledged Queen Anne style house in Stillwater, the purest specimen of that style, relatively simple and impressive. In 1896, according to a building permit application, the Stillwater Manufacturing Company added a two-story, six-by-sixteen-foot addition on the west side of the O'Brien house, and a two-story fourteen-by-thirty-foot addition on the north side, requiring rebuilding the roof. William and Mary Bean lived in the house at 306 West Olive Street into the late 1930s, moving to Pine Street shortly before William's death in 1944. The house later became the Rivertown Inn.
