The architect' was Emil W. Ulrici. The Victorian home ie orchaandc able Queen Anne with originlal window sash and trim, clapboard siding, p g detailing, decorative �Sawnwood patterns in the gable and doraner windows. The home exhibits littl� di the typical Queen Anne gingerbread trim, however. Located high on the M�ssissippi River blaff over xhe central business district of Saint Paul, the home's most prominent feature is the finely detailed octagonal corner tower with the 'Iconical roof rising above a bracketed pediment. The tower retains its original, wrought-iron weather vane. The home's exterior features are typically Queen Anne t}eing asymmetrical on all four;sides. 9lthough originally b�ilt as a single family home, the residence was converted to a duplex between the �ears 1915-1917 because of a war inspired housing shortage. Despite the change, t�e interior has undergone very minor alteration, still retaining iuost of its original woodwork. The house has been well maintained by its owner, ninety-�wo year old Mary Wooley, over the past sixty years and is in excellent structur�l condition. Ms. Wooley and her late husband purchased the home from the Mue�nch faimly in 1913. The Muench House was �Ithe hoane of one of Saint Paul�s leading 19th century German citizens. Adolf Muenich was a member of a family which played a leading role in not only the devel{opment of the city of Saint Paul but also the State of Minnesota from its early territorial days. Muench came to Minnesota along with his three brothers, �mil, Gustav and Herman in the 1850's from Saxony, Prussia. Spending his early d ys in Taylor Falls, Minnesota, an important early lumbering center, he moved to �aint Paul in 1871 to form the Muench Bros. Lumbering Company. This Company was a b siness offshoot of an earlier lumbering enterprise begun by W.D. Washburn of l�iinneapolis. In Saint Paul Adolf �iuench became preaident and publisher of the old "Volkszefound1- newspaper. This wasl, a consolidation of two former Saint Paul German papers, ed during territoria�. days. Under Muench�s leadership it became the foremost voice of the German �ieople in Saint Paul and a significant force in city and state politics. ' The Adolf Muench Houise is a symbol of the Muench family which between the four brothers played a si�gnificant role in the political economic and social devel- opment of the city ajnd statF. The family provided a te�ritorial representati�e, a state treasurer, a� leading physician and a businesa enterprise which helped to I , i . � . i1 � � , , " ' /�"'� R � j I �t SAI�(T PAUL FERITAGE Pf�ESEk11ATIpV C�"MISSIq� ' SIlE N(�'IINATION FORM VII NARRqTIVE; HISTORI� AND SIGNIFIGANCE OF SITE continued page two . develop the state's embr�yonic lumbering industry.
