The Charles P. Noyes Cottage is a special old house. It was once the summer home of a man named Charles P. Noyes. He was a Saint Paul pharmacist, which is someone who prepares and sells medicines. Mr. Noyes moved to St. Paul in 1868.
This cottage is also known as the Fillebrown House. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This means it is an important building in American history.
The Story of the Noyes Cottage
A sign at the cottage tells us it's a rare example of American Picturesque architecture. This style of building was popular in the late 1800s. Back then, White Bear Lake was a popular vacation spot. It had big hotels with fancy columns and beautiful summer homes along the lake.
Who Lived Here?
The Fillebrown family owned the house for many years. They lived there for most of the time it was a home. In 1978, the family gave the house to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
Visiting the Cottage
Today, the Charles P. Noyes Cottage is open to visitors. You can take tours to see what it was like to live in a summer home over a hundred years ago. Special events are also held there. It's a great way to learn about the past!
