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 house is open to visitors through guided tours arranged by the Minnesota Historical Society at 506 8th Street South. Plan your visit ahead to confirm tour availability and check accessibility options for your needs.
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.
