Lovely house with an especially nice staircase. Kudos to the owners for their hard work in the conversion/ restoration. The City of Red Wing has one of the best mapping sites I’ve seen, including a Sanborn viewer. The house appears extant in the 1891 Sanborn, although it appears to have been modified in later editions of the maps. Interior elements seem to jibe with the later build date, but the Stick exterior makes me wonder.

The previous house on this site (which was erected in 1873) burned almost to the ground in 1893. All newspaper accounts of the construction refer to the “new residence” put up for John Phillips with a construction cost that coincides with a house of this size. So yes there is a structure with a similar but not identical footprint on the 1891 Sanborn map. (I own the house and worked as a historic preservation planner in Red Wing for many years. There are several homes from 1893-85 that share the same sort of simplified Stick Style/Queen Anne type detailing.)
