Dr. Ward Beebe House, Prairie School residence in Saint Paul, US.
The three-story stucco house features a cross-gabled roof with deep eaves and interconnected living spaces centered around a central hearth.
Constructed in 1912 as a wedding present from Bess Beebe's parents, the residence was designed by architectural firm Purcell and Elmslie for bacteriologist Dr. Ward Beebe.
The interior design reflects Prairie School principles with open floor plans, integrated art glass insets, and carefully positioned windows to maximize views of Summit Avenue.
The second floor contains three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a library sitting room with bay windows, while the main floor features connected living and dining areas.
This residence stands as the only house in Saint Paul designed by Purcell and Elmslie, combining Prairie Style architecture with English Arts and Crafts elements.
