History

It was the first block of "spacious and elegant" townhouses built in Grand Forks at the turn-of-the-century. It was built in 1903 as four townhouses, in Classical Revival style.
The south side of the city at that time was being populated by "wealthy merchants" during the Second Dakota Boom.
It was built by the firm of Dinnie Brothers. John Dinnie and James Dinnie founded the contracting firm of Dinnie Brothers in the middle eighteen eighties. The firm was were especially active in the rebuilding of Fargo after the destruction of much of the city by fire in 1894. They also both served as mayors of Grand Forks.
