Sauntry House, Stillwater, Minnesota

Sauntry House, Stillwater, Minnesota
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.
