My great grandmothers last house she built

My great grandmother, Ellen Dorothea Carlson, (1895-1964) was a home builder in Mpls . She immigrated from Sweden, married a man that built homes (Gust Carlson), and she took over his business when he died. She built close to streetcar lines, my mother, and her 3 sisters lived in many of them. This one was the last house she built. Still plaster walls. She had wished someone in the family would buy it. My parents were newly married and couldn’t afford it. She built very solid homes, many are still standing today.
