The 1892 Queen Anne house in Minneapolis had only one working bathroom, the kitchen was in shambles and the floors were uneven.

But it was a dream project for David Heide and Mark Nelson, who were hired in 2004 to restore the home’s original architectural beauty and design an addition that would honor the home’s historical significance.

The Victorian-era gem was designed by the late Harry Wild Jones, the Minneapolis architect known for introducing the shingle style to the area and for designing the nearby Lake Harriet pavilion and Lakewood Cemetery Chapel.
