Henry Stussi House
The Henry Stussi House is a historic Gothic Revival house in Stillwater Township, Minnesota, United States, dating to the late 1870s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. It was nominated for being one of Washington County's finest rural houses, and for its association with a notable figure in the local milling industry and ice trade. Description The Henry Stussi House is a two-story brick building with a three-story tower. It is cruciform in shape. The main section and the tower both have gable roofs embellished with decorative wooden pendants and finials. The front façade has stone pilasters at both corners. The house is adapted from a design in a Palliser, Palliser & Company pattern book. History Henry Stussi moved to Stillwater, Minnesota, in 1871, where he purchased and upgraded a mill that produced both flour and animal feed. In the late 1870s he had this home built outside of Stillwater overlooking Twin Lakes, where he engaged in farming and ice cutting.

National Register of Historic Places - Henry Stussi House
Statement of Significance: The rural setting near Twin Lakes and overall design and integrity makes the Henry Stussi House a high point of the county's rural domestic architecture. The house design is from Palliser and Palliser's American Cottage Homes. The Stussi house is a modification of Design 24, a "convenient Cottage home of six rooms, with Tower, which is designed to command a view of the surrounding country where erected." Stussi was active in the flour and feed milling industry in Stillwater as well as in the ice industry. He moved to Stillwater in 1871 and bought the Rutherford and Booth's Washington Flour Mill, upgrading the mill operation by putting in a new race and dam, adding a new purifier, and adding another run of stone. In the later part of the 1870-decade Stussi moved to Twin Lakes to engage in farming and the ice business.
