Architects William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie designed the Edna S. Purcell house in 1913.

Now known as the Purcell-Cutts house, it was bequeathed to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in 1985 by Anson B. Cutts, Jr., the son of its second owner.

Holiday Traditions tours of the Purcell-Cutts House are given Saturdays and Sundays throughout the holiday season.

The house will be decorated for the holidays to reflect the upper-middle-class, "progressive" lifestyle of the Purcells around 1915. Forty-five minute tours led by costumed docents emphasize the gifts, toys, food and social traditions of the period that the Purcells might have enjoyed. All tours leave by shuttle from the Institute.

Admission is $5 for adults; $4 for students and seniors; and free to Institute members and children 12 and under.
