Alex Seitaniemi Housebarn
Alex Seitaniemi Housebarn, Historical housebarn in Waasa Township, Minnesota.

Built between 1907 and 1913 by Finnish immigrant Alex Seitaniemi, this structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The building represents Finnish-American agricultural practices, incorporating design elements that reflect the adaptation of Nordic building traditions to Minnesota conditions.
