Few entrepreneurs :had more intereat in the Missiesippi lumber industry than the Irvines. Thomas �rvine, father of Horace Hills, grew to be a respect�>d . � iumber businessma� during the last quarter of the 19th century. Born in New York in 1841, Thoa�as was educated in Ontarie and Toronto and became a teacher of mathematics ancl bookeeping. Early in his vorking life he moved to Iowa to manage a lumber cc�mpaay where he learned practical financial akills. Within a few years he weslt into partnership with the owner, founding Hershey � Irvine. The firm operated �!two mills, one at Muscatine, Iowa, and another at Stillwater, Minneaota. Upon �he death of Mr. Herahey, Thomaa assumed the leading role in the company. In 1876 Thomas Irvine married 8�ily A. �Iills of �labasha, Minnesota and sometime latet bore a son, florace Hills. While Iiorace was still a boy, Thomas erranged f�r the family to move to Saiat paul in 1890 to extend the Irvine interesta µpriver. In Saint Paul, Holrace Hilla Irvine began taking over his fathera' iamense responsibilities t the age of tWenty. Ths mark�d profite of Herahey � Irvine, and the �scatine Luaber Company, afforded 8orac• Hills the resour.ces to build a large �ansion oa Summit Avenue. In 1910 a. �tasioa�was designsd for the Irvine fep�il�► by William Channing Whitney, an archit�ct who worked in popular revival s�tyles at ihe turn of this century. The English Tudor residence standa as a complinent rather than s challeage to is surroundings, ,blending well with Queen Anne atyle homes which dominete the area. Two Georgi�an Revival houses were built just after the Irvines moved in. All three styleslaccentuate each other. The facade of the mansion has double hung saeh window�, belt couraing, coping, lintels, and spanderels made of stone - featurea !oftea found in Georgian Rsvival. With a gable roof, central vindows, and a f�ncy wrought iron fence skirting the propertq at Summit Avenue; the mansion relat�es well to adjacent Queen Anne homes rrhich are lesa formal and more decorat�ve. Throughout the time of the Irvinta, and since the State of Minnesota acqy�ired the residence in 1965,�the �lm-lined bodlevard has retained its ori�inal proud flavor. The exterior app�aranc� of the oansion has not changed in the past sevea decades. It is de of red brick, Flemish bonded with a variety of atone ornamental featu�s. At the ground level center of the core masa is a wide �oman arch doorw�y Nhich opens the facade to Summit Avenue. Stone masonry above the enCrs�¢e riaea to the third floor. Above the entry are three bays of yrindows jtopped with a swan's neck broken pedim�nt. Symmetrical gables frame the aides bf the central cor�. Off the west gable is a heavy pavillion with a projectini� carport. Attached to the east gable is a �tvo.:stor� exteasion: a bedroom atop a first floor porch. In 1965 the sta�e was given the foru�r home of Horace Hills Irvine, a preaentation made by Irvine's� daughters Mra. Olivia lrvine Dodge and Nrs. Clotilde Irvine Mples. The Irvilae ho� then becans the Governor`a $esiclence. Previously, visiting dignitaries had �lalways been �i,ar�a lodgiag in hot�ls, and state receptiona had taken place ia ublic ballrooms, hotel suitts, or in the capitol building. Prior to 1965 e�ch of the Governors' families occupied their oWn ho� or found temporaryiquarters in the capitoT city. r , ;,^\ � . � • � ti. � When the Minne�ota legislature accepted the gift of the mansion, they designated it �s the State Ceremonial Building to be maintained by the Commissioner o� Admfnistration. In 1965 money was set aside by the legislature to �be used for remodeling and structural improvements wfthin � a two year per�od. Other than money for general maintenance and tax purposes, no o�her funds have been appropriated by the state. The mansion was furnished c�ith artfcles from a variety of sources. T'he donors of the house left sev@ral Large pieces of. furniture in the rooms, and a couanittee borrowed furni�ure for the house from the Minnesota Historical Society, fine arts grou�s, antique dealers, and friends. Like many ha�me� on Summit Avenue, the interior is quite elaborate. Passfng through a set bf double doors covered wfth iron grillwork, and inner doors of frosted glass with inset flower and Leaf motif stained glass, the reception hall is entered. A sunken solarfum with whfte stone ashlar walls and : a soft green bgamed ceiling lead to the rear of the msnsion, opens � a formal gardep. The library and modernized kftchen are to the right of the reception �all, behind the dining.room. This room paneled with Circassian Walinut with a molded plaster vaulted ceiling, can be warmed by a massive sltone fireplace. Serving as the Governor's home office and staff ineeting iroom is the former library. A grand stairc;ase with a balcony landing leads to the second floor. It is made of solid oak in the Tudor manner, Later bleached by the state in 1965. On the landin�j is a magnificent grandfather clock with a traditional moon dial. The cldck was donated by the Pillsbury family. On the second floor are six bedroc}ms, two porchea, a dressing room, closets and several baths. A master bedre�om to the left of the stafrcase contains furniture wtlich belonged to tt�e Irvine famfly, including an antique Jacobean table and a fifteenth c�ntury carved wood chest. A Large gueat bedroom served as the master bedroo� for the Rolvaags and the Levanders, inside which is an imported Louis XVth fireplace. The third floqr is a ballrom which stands vacant. With some repairs and an addition of a fire escape stairway, the space could be used. However at present no fuq�ds are available for such rehabilitation. ; I � . .. j � � i , ,� I � ' GOVERNOR�S RESIDENCE , Preservation' Program The exterior ofithe Governor's Residence should be preserved in a manner consistent with the original design intent.
