5329 Washburn Ave S, Minneapolis, MN, USA
5329 Washburn Ave S Home History Magney and Tusler, 1922 From the front, this charming if rather sedate English Cottage- style house doesn't appear exceptional. Walk around to the back (off Brookwood Terr.), however, and you'll find a series of brick garden walls that include a round gazebo with a conical roof. Resembling a miniature castle, the gazebo adds a note of romance to the architectural proceedings. As it turns out, romance was also in the air. The house was built for Gertrude Garlick, who worked for the Young Quinlan Co., a fashionable clothing store in down- town Minneapolis. The architect was Gottlieb Magney, whose firm would soon design a new store building for Young Quinlan (1926) and, later, the Foshay Tower (1929). Two years after this house was completed, Garlick and Magney were married. Citation: Millett, Larry. AIA Guide to the Minneapolis Lake District. Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2009.
