Christopher M. Bendixen House

This house was built at an estimated cost of $1,000 in 1893 for owner and resident Christopher M. Bendixen, who was an inspector for the Minnesota Transfer Railway Company, whose yards were located about 2 blocks west of this house. This basically intact Victorian house is one of several in this immediate neighborhood which were owned and occupied by employees of the Minnesota Transfer Railway, a railway freight transfer company which still operates in the Midway area, although on a much smaller scale than it did at the turn of the century. First Owner: Christopher M. Bendixen Notes: Modest house with intersecting gabled roof with returns, fishscale shingling in gable ends, tiny front entrance porch with truncated hipped roof at intersection of wings, simple architraves, and stained glass transom window over large fixed sash on main facade.
