Twin Cities Hidden Gems

Our Team specializes and is dedicated to serving home buyers and sellers in the Twin Cities and throughout the 13 counties and outer Metro areas. And as real estate advocates in the Twin Cities, we would like to highlight all of those popular destinations in both St. Paul and Minneapolis. We will also feature local events and businesses on this page.

Our First Stop:

Riverside Hotel 

 

The Riverside Hotel is a historic former hotel in St. Francis. It was originally built around 1860 as a residence, then expanded into a hotel beginning in 1891. This period spanned the heyday of the local lumber industry that urbanized present-day Anoka County. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for being the only surviving commercial building dating to St. Francis's settlement as a lumber boomtown, and its association with the Woodbury family that helped found St. Francis and Anoka, Minnesota.
 

The building is now a restaurant called the Rum River Inn.

Our Next Stop:

H. G. Leathers House

​
 

The H. G. Leathers House is a historic house in St. Francis. It was originally built on a site near the Rum River around 1883. Around 1890 it was moved closer to the river and expanded. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. It was nominated for its association with three generations of an influential local family, and for its status as one of Anoka County's few Victorian houses.
