Pest House, Historical quarantine facility in Stillwater Township, United States.
The Pest House stands at 9033 Fairy Falls Road, featuring a three-room structure with additions including a southeast porch and northwest wing.
Built in 1872, this isolation facility operated until 1910, treating patients with diseases such as smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid, and diphtheria.
The building represents the evolution of American medical practices from isolation facilities to modern hospital-based treatment of infectious diseases.
Currently serving as a private residence, the Pest House stands on a hill outside Stillwater and is not accessible for public visits.
Among only six remaining pest houses in the United States, this structure remains the single preserved example in Minnesota.
