National Register of Historic Places - Early Shakopee Houses
Statement of Significance: The two early Shakopee residences, dating ca. 1865, are significant as well-preserved residences representative of the style and construction that dominated early residential architecture in Shakopee. Characteristic features of Shakopee's residential architecture during the 1860's and 70's are a simple vernacular design, modest proportions, and red brick construction. The two houses at 411 and 419 East Second Street are the city's most representative examples of these features. The integrity of the buildings is outstanding: coupled with their location on the railroad, they convey a striking sense of historic Shakopee. As workers' housing, the buildings changed hands frequently and little is known about the early owners. Examples of this characteristic type of early Shakopee housing are fast disappearing.
