Purcell-Cutts House
Purcell-Cutts House, Prairie School residence in Calhoun Isles, Minneapolis, United States.
The Purcell-Cutts House features over eighty art-glass windows, a nearly flat roof, and earth-toned colors throughout its custom-designed interior spaces.
Architects William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie constructed this residential masterwork in 1913, implementing Louis Sullivan's principles of organic architecture.
The Minneapolis Institute of Art incorporates this house into educational programs about early 20th-century residential architecture and social developments.
Guided tours of the house occur on the second weekend of each month, with tickets priced at $10 for adults and free for visitors under 18.
Every element of the house, from furniture to stencils, remains preserved exactly as designed by the original architects in 1913.

Minneapolis offers a rich mix of cultural attractions and outdoor spaces that draw visitors year-round. Art lovers can explore the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where galleries hold works spanning thousands of years, or visit the Walker Art Center to see modern and contemporary pieces. Just outside, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden displays large-scale works in the open air, including the well-known Spoonbridge and Cherry. The Weisman Art Museum, with its gleaming steel exterior designed by Frank Gehry, adds another dimension to the city's art scene. Beyond museums, the Chain of Lakes invites walking and cycling, while Minnehaha Park centers on a 53-foot (16-meter) waterfall that has drawn people to its banks for generations. Downtown, the Foshay Tower rises in Art Deco style, offering views from its observation deck, and the enclosed Skyway system connects buildings across several blocks. Theater stages like the Orpheum and Guthrie host performances throughout the year. Sports fans head to Target Field for baseball or U.S. Bank Stadium for football. The Mill City Museum, set in a former flour mill, tells the story of the industry that shaped Minneapolis, while Fort Snelling marks the military heritage of the region. Together, these places paint a full picture of a city that balances history, creativity, and the outdoors.
