The one and one-half story Ray Anderson house at 1901 North Second Street in Stillwater, Minnesota is one of a few remaining examples of a typical worker's cottage from the nineteenth century in the city.
The Roscoe Hersey home at 414 South Fourth Street is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Eastlake/early Queen Anne style Roscoe Hersey House is an irregular plan 18 room structure made by machine-produced decorative woodwork. Roscoe Hersey played an important role in the early development of Stillwater's lumber and mercantile development. His house reflects the commercial success of the Hersey-Staples partnership, the strong link between the St. Croix Valley and Maine capital and personalities, and the boom years of Stillwater's lumber years. Roscoe Hersey was the eldest son of Samuel F. Hersey, Isaac Staples financial partner. Roscoe Hersey moved to Minnesota in 1867, after serving in the Civil War at the age of 26 to look after his family's business. He took charge of the Lake City branch of the Hersey, Staples and Co. In 1872 he moved to Stillwater and entered the firm of Hersey, Bean and Brown, a land, lumber, merchandise firm. In 1878 he was elected and served one term as a state senator. Hersey built the house in 1879-1880 and occupied it for seven years.
Located at 626 4th Street North in Stillwater, Minnesota, William Sauntry's house might be considered a Queen Anne, but was constructed with the enthusiastic use of other architectural style elements, including Eastlake millwork, a mansard-roofed tower common to Italianate villas, and hints of the Gothic in the gable. The house reflects the Sauntry lumbering fortune and the range of architectural fashion during its construction in 1881-1883. Wiliam Sauntry, raised in New Brunswick, Canada, came to Stillwater in a second generation of St. Croix loggers and began a career in a partnership with Albert Tozer, gaining the trust of the Weyerhauser interests, and leasing stock in the St. Croix Boom company. He also built and managed the Nevers Dam and had interests in other lumbering companies, with his wealth eventually estimated at two million dollars.

This one-and-a-half-story, rectangular-shaped frame house was built on a different site circa 1900 at 451 Everett Street North in Stillwater, Minnesota. . This house is a successful example of historic preservation in Stillwater, as the dwelling was relocated instead of being demolished and the style, form, and material of the house fit in with the Sabbin's Addition neighborhood.
