Comstock House, Victorian residence in Moorhead, United States
The Comstock House features eleven rooms decorated in Queen Anne and Eastlake architectural styles, with a carriage house on the property.
Solomon Comstock constructed this residence in 1883 after relocating from the Red River area due to flooding concerns in the previous years.
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 Minnesota Historical Society offers guided tours of the property at 506 8th Street South, with different admission rates for adults, seniors, and children.
The builder's contract specified the use of premium materials throughout construction, resulting in exceptional craftsmanship that remains visible in the house today.

Minnesota contains numerous locations away from the main tourist circuits. The state stretches from the shores of Lake Superior to the southern prairies, encompassing historic lighthouses, underground mines, waterfalls, and Japanese gardens. Visitors find both natural landscapes and cultural sites that tell the story of the region's history. Notable locations include prehistoric rock carvings at Jeffers Petroglyphs Site, where indigenous peoples left their marks thousands of years ago, and sacred trees of Ojibwe culture. The geological formation known as Devil's Kettle, a waterfall whose course puzzled scientists for years, attracts visitors interested in natural phenomena. Historic mines provide insight into Minnesota's industrial past, while lighthouses recall the maritime history along the largest of the Great Lakes.
