Not much is known about this home only that from the looks of it the house is one of the earliest in Richfield (1880s?) and unfortunately due to it being located up against interstate 494 it is not long for this world, in fact it is amazing it has lasted this long. More...

The McGowan House Project
"Little Boxes! Littles Boxes! and they're all build with ticky-tac and they're all built the same..."

Or so the song goes. The McGowan House Project starts with one house, 7627 Harriet Avenue, a Cape Cod with a unique triple gable and attempts to document the other houses in Richfield that have that same design and just how different they're designs and histories have become.

Project

Farm house on 18 Avenue - Unknown history
Farm Houses of Richfield
Once, a very long time ago, the happy little suburb of Richfield, Minnesota was once the pastoral farming community of Richfield. Most of Richfield's agricultural landmarks have disappeared. This is an attempt to document (and hopefully preserve) the last remaining houses built in Richfield's heyday as an farming community.
