It was the home of Minnesota Governor Joseph A. A. Burnquist^[6][7] where he wrote several works in the series "Minnesota and its People" during the 1920s.^[8]

Despite historic preservation efforts by the city and neighbors,^[9][10] a court approved its demolition in 2015.^[11] The final owners of the house, Fred and Renee Pritzker, had it demolished to build a new residence for their adult son, who has Angelman syndrome.^[12] In the settlement with the city, they were required to document the historic structure before it was destroyed.^[13]
