Dr. William W. Mayo House
Dr. William W. Mayo House, Carpenter Gothic house in Le Sueur, United States
The Dr. William W. Mayo House features wooden detailing, steep gables, and decorative trim elements characteristic of the Carpenter Gothic architectural style.
Built in 1859, this residence was home to Dr. William W. Mayo, who later founded the Mayo Clinic after moving to Rochester during the Civil War period.
The house represents the early medical practice development in Minnesota, where Dr. Mayo treated local families and trained his sons in medicine.
