28 6th ST NW Faribault, MN 55021

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT! Known as the George R. Whipple House (brother of Bishop Henry Whipple), this circa 1862 stone home has Greek Revival influences & was one of the first homes built in Faribault! This soulful home is rich in history, with many notable past owners. The intact porch has columns with chamfered corners. The steeply pitched west dormer suggests Gothic Revival influence. Previous to the current vinyl siding, the stone was stucco'd over. The curved staircase, rounded walls, & original period details are architectural marvels. The charming downtown district is 1 block to the east. The oldest cathedral in Minnesota & the Guild House are kitty-corner. All the perks of urban living -- walk to Paradise Center for the Arts, coffee shops, grocery stores, churches, & more! Faribault's Housing & Redevelopment Authority offers funds to help restore this stone home to its historically accurate former glory! They have a program this year for exterior projects!
