Comstock House, Victorian residence in Moorhead, United States
Comstock House is a Victorian residence in Moorhead featuring eleven rooms with Queen Anne and Eastlake architectural details throughout. The structure includes a carriage house and displays the original interior decorations and finishes from when it was built.
Solomon Comstock built this residence in 1883 after leaving the Red River area due to flooding risks. The construction established his family as a prominent local fixture in the developing community.
The residence became a center for local organizations, with Sarah Comstock establishing her role as the first president of the Moorhead Public Library Board.

The original construction contract specified premium materials throughout, resulting in craftsmanship that has endured for more than a century. This attention to quality during building explains why so many original details remain visible in the house today.
