Longfellow House, Historic house in Minnehaha Park, Minneapolis, United States.
The yellow-framed Longfellow House stands as a two-thirds scale replica of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Cambridge residence, featuring porches at each end.
Robert Jones constructed this residence in 1907 near his Longfellow Zoological Gardens, maintaining ownership until his death in 1930.
The Minneapolis Public Library operated this building as the Longfellow Community Library from 1937 to 1968, serving the southeast Minneapolis community.
Located at 4800 South Minnehaha Drive, the house functions as an information center for the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway system.
The structure was physically relocated several hundred feet in 1994 during the Hiawatha Avenue expansion, requiring specialized moving equipment.
