Tobias G. Mealey House

The Tobias G. Mealey House displays symmetrical design elements with a front-facing gable and classical columns supporting the entry porch.

Built in 1855, this residence represents a period when American architecture drew inspiration from ancient Greek temples and democratic ideals.

The house demonstrates the mid-19th century architectural movement that connected American values with classical Greek building principles through residential structures.

Visitors can examine the preserved architectural features, including the broad cornices and temple-like structure that characterize Greek Revival design.

Local materials and regional construction methods of the 1850s influenced the specific adaptations of Greek temple forms in this Minnesota residence.
