5755. Freight House, Stillwater, Minnesota

Creator:
Stillwater Planning Department
Date Created:
1987-11
Description:
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.

5762. Sauntry House, Stillwater, Minnesota

Creator:
Stillwater Planning Department
Date Created:
1994-09
Description:
Located at 626 4th Street North in Stillwater, Minnesota, William Sauntry's house might be considered a Queen Anne, but was constructed with the enthusiastic use of other architectural style elements, including Eastlake millwork, a mansard-roofed tower common to Italianate villas, and hints of the Gothic in the gable. The house reflects the Sauntry lumbering fortune and the range of architectural fashion during its construction in 1881-1883. Wiliam Sauntry, raised in New Brunswick, Canada, came to Stillwater in a second generation of St. Croix loggers and began a career in a partnership with Albert Tozer, gaining the trust of the Weyerhauser interests, and leasing stock in the St. Croix Boom company. He also built and managed the Nevers Dam and had interests in other lumbering companies, with his wealth eventually estimated at two million dollars.

5764. John and Anna O'Brien House, Stillwater, Minnesota

Creator:
Stillwater Planning Department
Date Created:
1991-08
Description:
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.

Description:
Set of 12 architectural drawings showing both exterior and interior features of Lawrence Hall on the campus of the State Normal School at St. Cloud (St. Cloud State University) in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The drawings show the north, south, east and west elevations of the building, longitudinal and transverse sections, foundation, first, second, third floors, attic and roof, and detail of the front side of the building and its main entrance. Designed by state architect Clarence H. Johnston (1859-1936), Lawrence Hall, which was named for faculty member and acting president Isabel Lawrence, opened in the fall of 1905 as a women's dormitory. The building was extensively renovated in 2003. It replaced the first Lawrence Hall, which was built in 1885 and destroyed by fire in January 1905.
