The Purcell–Cutts House in Minneapolis is a notable example of Prairie School architecture, designed in 1913 by the firm Purcell, Feick and Elmslie for architect William Purcell and his family. The dwelling features a long, narrow floor plan that deliberately breaks from Victorian room divisions, embodying the Prairie School's progressive spatial philosophy. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the house is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection and has undergone extensive restoration. The museum offers guided tours on the second weekend of each month.
