Purcell-Cutts House
Purcell-Cutts House, Prairie School residence in Calhoun Isles, Minneapolis, United States.
Description
The Purcell-Cutts House is a residential villa in Minneapolis known for its innovative design featuring a nearly flat roof and custom art-glass windows throughout. The interior displays thoughtfully arranged rooms with earth-toned colors and carefully crafted elements in every space.
History
The house was constructed in 1913 by two prominent architects and stands as a significant example of a new building philosophy emerging in the early 1900s. It was part of a larger movement that challenged traditional residential design concepts.
Culture
The house embodies ideals of a residential movement that sought to bring beauty and craftsmanship into everyday living. Visitors can still see today how this philosophy shaped every detail of the rooms.
Practical
The building is accessible through guided tours held on specific weekends, and it is advisable to plan ahead. The house sits in a residential neighborhood and is easy to reach from main streets.
Did you know?
Many of the handcrafted details such as painted patterns and furniture pieces have been preserved exactly as originally conceived and were never altered over time. This makes the interior a rare time capsule of the design philosophy of that era.
