Mr. Prindle's mahogany second floor master bedroom has a wonderful view of LakeSuperior, but this is an alternate view looking at the room's fireplace. In 1904, William Martin Prindle (1861-1944) and Mina Merrill Prindle (1864-1963) chose William Hunt of the firm Palmer, Hall, and Hunt, as the architect of their new Duluth home built in 1905 at 2211 Greysolon Road. Mina chose William A. French and John Bradstreet to decorate the interiors. One of Bradstreet's most important commissions was the Duluth Prindle house. When the house was sold to the Minneapolis Art Institute in 1981, the living room and selected items were removed and displayed at the museum.
