Details:
We
have an invitation to sketch The Fillebrown House. Built on the shores
of White Bear Lake in 1879, the house was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1976 and is considered significant based
on its architectural design. The National Register describes the
interior as “an excellent, and meticulously preserved, example of stick
style decor. Motifs used on the exterior are repeated on the interior. A
distinct geometry is evident in the execution of newels and balusters,
window and door casements, door panel construction, and ceiling
truss-work.”
In the 1930s, Helen Fillebrown taught piano lessons to area children, and operated a tearoom. Much of the house was kept the way it had been during the 1920s through the 1940s. The property was donated to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society to ensure the ongoing preservation of this unique property.

Anyone
that would like to bring a bagged lunch and head down to the gazebo
park on the lake, it’s a short walk from Fillebrown. Enjoy your lunch
or sketch the scenery. I will head there after our sketch-meet until
about 2:30 pm. Host- Susan Schaffhausen
