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.”
