Oliver G. Traphagen House, Victorian duplex residence in Duluth, United States.

The red sandstone building features ornate carvings, window dressings, towers, and unusual dormers across its narrow 44-foot-wide facade.

Architect Oliver Green Traphagen constructed this house in 1892 as his personal residence before selling it to mining magnate Chester Congdon in 1897.

The structure represents the architectural excellence of late 19th-century Minnesota, incorporating local materials and Victorian design elements.

The interior spans 9,200 square feet across three floors, containing two separate entrances, ten fireplaces, and multiple rooms for various functions.

The building served as apartments from 1919 to 1986 before transforming into a commercial space following extensive renovation work.
