William G. LeDuc House
William G. LeDuc House, Gothic Revival house in Hastings, United States
The William G. LeDuc House features ten fireplaces, three-foot thick limestone walls, and white pine woodwork throughout the residence except for the cherry staircase rail.
Built between 1862 and 1866, the residence belonged to William Gates LeDuc, who served as U.S. Commissioner of Agriculture under President Hayes from 1877 to 1881.
The house design follows the architectural principles of Andrew Jackson Downing, incorporating detailed Gothic Revival elements in its construction and decoration.
Visitors can explore the estate, which includes the main residence, carriage barn, and ice house, through guided tours available from May through October.
Carroll Simmons acquired the property in 1940 for his antique business and later donated it to the Minnesota Historical Society with specific usage conditions.
