William Berry House in Loring Park

William Berry's House

William Berry’s House

I’d had an idea to name this post as ‘a spooky house in the park’. As a new resident of Minneapolis (USA) for less than a month, the house looked to me just like a ‘cute’ installment at the park. I changed my mind after reading the house history from the website of the Friends of the Loring Park.

Located in Loring Park, a park that existed from Year 1883, the house was built as the office of William Berry, the first park superintendent in Minneapolis. According to the Friends of the Loring Park, the house was constructed in 1889, and it served for 17 years as his office. The house had changed its functions after his retirement but later in 1998, the house was restored to its origins and became one of the Minneapolis park’s historical monuments. I have never realized the house was old, impressive!

Oh well, there is nothing spooky from this house 👻👀

  1. Indah, Well here you are blogging on your website in America! Just read your comment on my website & replied there. Best wishes & welcome to America after only one month here!!! Phil

  2. Atmosphere is perfectly rendered. (I do love mobiles’s cameras. Light, fit in a pocket. Do the job. With some limitations)
    So you are in Minneapolis now? Wow! Talk about winter. Probably makes NL look like a tropical resort.
    Welcome to your new home and enjoy America.
    Tot ziens.

    • Hahaha, that’s true, the Dutch winter temperature feels like topical compared to here! We will be here for three years only, but hopefully will see the most of America in three years time 🙂

      • Three years is plenty of time to travel all around the US of A. Road trips are part of the culture. And roads are excellent. I take it “Dutchie”‘s been posted there? Nice.
