National Register of Historic Places - Charles A. Victor House
Statement of Significance: The C.A. Victor House is significant as a representative link with the role of the local entrepreneurs in the development of Chisago County's communities. Charles A. Victor was born in Sweden and settled in Lindstrom not long after the town had been platted in 1880. He was one of the earliest merchants in the community and operated the C.A. Victor General Mercantile Store on the corner behind his residence. He was also involved with the area's early milling industry. In 1898 he founded one of several area Swedish newspapers (Mudborgaren), and his name is frequently noted in politics and other local affairs. The family residence that Victor constructed ca. 1905 is reflective of the success achieved by late nineteenth and early twentieth century community entrepreneurs in the area. Victor lived in the house until his death in 1934.
