VanDyke–Libby House, Second Empire residence in Hastings, United States.
The VanDyke-Libby House stands at 612 Vermillion Street, featuring a mansard roof characteristic of Second Empire architectural design from the 1860s.
William J. Van Dyke, a banker and merchant, constructed this residence in 1868 for $25,000, before Rowland C. Libby acquired it in 1880.
The house exemplifies the architectural preferences of successful Minnesota merchants and industrialists during the late nineteenth century economic expansion.
The property transformed from a private residence into Hope Sanitarium in 1914, later becoming St. Raphael's Hospital until its relocation in 1929.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this mansion on October 2, 1978, recognizing its architectural merit and connection to local commerce.
