John G. and Minnie Gluek House and Carriage House

The John G. and Minnie Gluek House is a two-story Georgian Revival residence located in The Wedge neighborhood of Minneapolis. A matching carriage house stands on the property, and both structures feature the symmetrical facades and classical proportions typical of the style.

The residence was built in 1902 for John G. Gluek, a brewery heir, and his wife Minnie. After their deaths in a train collision in 1908, the property left their family's ownership.

The home reflects how prosperous brewery families shaped Minneapolis neighborhoods through their building choices in the early 1900s. The Georgian style they selected shows the architectural tastes of the city's wealthy class at that time.

The building is easy to spot from the street as it sits on Bryant Avenue South with its distinctive Georgian style visible from the sidewalk. The location is pedestrian-friendly and situated in a residential neighborhood with typical city block layout.

Between 1939 and 2006, resident Tessie Bowman filled every corner of the home with early 20th-century antiques and lived alongside nine cats. This period left the house with a distinctive character shaped by decades of careful collecting.
