Rand House
The Rand House, nicknamed "Random", is a historic house in Monticello, Minnesota, United States, constructed in 1884 and now operating as a bed and breakfast. It was the centerpiece of a summer estate owned by Minneapolis businessman Rufus Rand, Sr., and his wife Susan Mealey. The Rand House and a nearby building were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as the Rufus Rand Summer House and Carriage Barn for having local significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and entertainment/recreation. They were nominated for being representative of the late-19th-century country estates built by Twin Cities businessmen, their Queen Anne architecture, and association with Rand, a prominent utility executive.〔 ==Description== The Rand House is a two-and-a-half story wood-frame building with 30 rooms.〔〔 It stands on a hill southeast of downtown Monticello. Queen Anne architectural features include a polygonal corner tower, wraparound porches, patterned shingles on the gables, irregular plan, and multi-gabled roof. Built as a summer home, the house had open porches and large windows. Exterior window shutters were affixed to help seal the house up over the winter.〔 The carriage barn is a one-and-a-half story frame building south of the main house. In 1952 it was converted to a single-family home under separate ownership.〔 The estate grounds once featured an arboretum, swimming pool, windmill, and flower gardens, all ringed by a lilac hedge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://randhouse.com/history.html )〕 Only traces of the gardens and walls remain.〔
