Charles Wiethoff House, 1917
Purcell and Elmslie
4609 Humboldt Avenue South, Minneapolis

This late wood and stucco design by Purcell and Elmslie features a pitched roof--a favorite element of Purcell’s more typical of Craftsman homes--with the gable end facing the street (and echoed in the entry). The firm designed the home with many fine details, including a fireplace with an arched brick opening, leaded-glass casement windows on the upper story, and glass and bronze half-globe light fixtures. next stop >
