The two story, 47013 square foot, building replaced the Wilder Mansion, a great brick and stone house that was built in 1887 for Amherst Wilder, one of St. Paul's wealthiest men. This structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Historic Hill District. The Wilder Mansion replaced the George L. Otis house, which was built in 1863 and was razed in 1886. The Wilder Mansion had functioned as the chancery for 41 years, until Archbishop John Gregory Murray (1877-1956) refused to continue to live there because he thought that it was too ostentatious.
