On This Date in Minnesota History: September 13

September 13, 1977 – “Situated on a small bluff overlooking Loring Park, the Eugene Carpenter House at 300 Clifton Avenue,” was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on this date. “As it exists today, [the house] is the result of an extensive alteration. Prior to moving in Eugene Carpenter renovated the house from a Queen Anne style frame residence to a two-story Georgian Revival design. The architect, Edwin H. Hewitt, removed the wrap-around porches and multi-gabled roof and replaced them with a symmetrical façade under a dormered hipped roof. The renovated home was occupied by Eugene J. Carpenter, a Minneapolis lumberman and prominent patron of the arts. He held an executive position with the Carpenter Brothers Lumber Company and was vice-chairman of the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts until his death in 1922.”
