The Brunswick Inn is located at 114 Chestnut Street East Stillwater, Minnesota. Known as the Brunswick House, this building was constructed by William C. Penny, a carpenter by trade, about 1848, the same year in which Stillwater was platted as a town and the year the territorial convention took place. In 1849 the first meeting of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) in Minnesota took place in the upstairs of the house. The Pennys sold the house in 1863 to Julius Brunswick. Brunswick, from Switzerland, worked in the mercantile trade.

Ivory McKusick's small French Second Empire bluff-top home reflects McKusick's successes in lumbering and government supply contracts during the Civil War. The heavy mansard roof was the height of style during the era, and the home is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original house was built in 1866, with a prominent addition in 1872 becoming the front, or main, part of the home. Ivory was one of several McKusick brothers who established themselves in lumbering in Stillwater. The house is located at the corner of North Second Street.
The Mulvey House is located at 622 Churchill Street West in Stillwater, Minnesota. The refined, well-executed and respectfully preserved exterior of this Italianate home makes this one of the finest examples of its kind in Stillwater, Minnesota. The Mulveys owned a small, one-story house before the Civil War. Over time, other additions were made to the rear of the home. The site also includes a stone carriage house, built to house James Mulvey's horses and carriage collection.
