It is the restored home of U.S. Congressman and businessman Solomon Comstock with its original furnishings.The house is run by a partnership between the Minnesota Historical Society and the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County.[2]
The house has two stories and eleven rooms and was designed by architecture firm Kees and Fisk. Construction was completed between 1882 and 1883, and the architecture is a combination of Queen Anne style and that of English designer Charles Eastlake.[3]
