Purcell-Cutts House, Prairie School residence in East Isles, Minneapolis, US
The Purcell-Cutts House is a two-story residential building in the Prairie School style marked by strong horizontal lines and flat roofs. Large art glass windows open the interior spaces to the surrounding landscape and connect the home with its garden.
William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie designed and built this residence in 1913 near Lake of the Isles. The project emerged as a significant example of the Prairie School movement in early American residential architecture.
The home shows how affluent families organized daily life in the early 1900s. Its design reflects the era's belief that indoor and outdoor spaces should flow together.
The home is accessible through guided tours scheduled on specific weekends each month. Plan adequate time to examine the architectural details and garden features carefully.
The house was equipped with household technology that was revolutionary for the early 1900s. A central vacuum system and electric call system for staff demonstrate the owners' innovative approach to home living.
