Homes and Neighborhoods
The residential neighborhoods which stretched away from the commercial district offered a deliberate contrast in atmosphere. The orderly footsteps of platted lots were filled with carefully chosen styles of single-family homes, shaded (or soon to be shaded) by elms and maples. Many of Faribault’s homes were built during the peak of the Victorian-style homebuilding era, when decorative elements and fine workmanship were hallmarks of a fine house. Newspapers described in detail each notable new home, and reported on the social gatherings they hosted.
