Built around 1885 in Stillwater Township, Minnesota, the St. Croix Boom Company House and Barn is a Queen Anne-style residence of considerable historical significance. The structure stands as the sole surviving building connected to the St. Croix Boom Company, which from 1856 to 1914 operated a crucial log boom that facilitated Minnesota's logging industry by controlling timber transportation along the river. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the house and barn represent an important material link to the industrial heritage that shaped the region's economic development during the nineteenth century.
