Elmwood's Intricate Inglenook Fireplace

Built in 1887, Elmwood House is a tribute to the early days of Minneapolis , Proudly displaying its circular towers with conical roofs on the north facade, Elmwood has been completely restored to its original appearance. Replacement of the ceder shingle siding of our Normandy-styled Chateau was completed in 1992, using nearly 22,000 hand-pounded shingles.

Sunlight from the Turret Windows Graces the Parlor

The interior has been left virtually unchanged, boasting a parlor filled with afternoon sun and a living room fully furnished with classical sofas, antique decorations, a baby grand piano, and restored oak woodwork throughout. At the south end of the living room, french doors open to the lawn and gardens. The Inglenook fireplace is a Syrian arch brick fireplace flanked by oak benches and a lattice work arch. In 1976, Elmwood House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
