Minnesota Home School for Girls Historic District
Minnesota Home School for Girls Historic District, Historic reformatory campus in Sauk Centre, United States.
The Minnesota Home School for Girls Historic District contains multiple residential cottages, administrative buildings, and service structures spread across a rural landscape setting.
The facility operated from 1911 to 1999 as Minnesota's first dedicated reformatory for female juveniles, implementing educational and vocational training programs.
The buildings, named after notable American women, reflect the early 20th-century approach to rehabilitation through structured education and skill development.
The district includes 19 contributing structures such as Alcott Cottage, Richard Cottage, Stowe Cottage, and Sullivan Cottage, designed by architect Clarence Johnston Sr.
The campus layout follows the Cottage Plan design, placing individual buildings across the landscape to create separate living units within the institution.
