The John and Mary Curtis House is located at 706 West Churchill Street, Stillwater. Constructed in 1858 by John Curtis, a stone mason from Ireland. By 1894, Charles Jackson and Claude Jackson were residents. Charles Jackson was one of the few black men in Nineteenth Century Stillwater. He was born a slave in central Georgia about 1851. After the Civil War, he followed the Union Army north, and eventually ended up in St. Paul, Minnesota. While working in a livery stable in St. Paul, he met Albert Lowell, proprietor of the Sawyer House, Stillwater's grand hotel. Lowell offered him a job, and Jackson came to Stillwater to work as a barber, first for Lowell, later on his own, and at one time, as a partner with Samuel Hadley, another black barber. His son Claude, also a barber in 1894, was also a longtime choir director at the Church of St. Michael in Stillwater.

The Roscoe Hersey home at 414 South Fourth Street is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Eastlake/early Queen Anne style Roscoe Hersey House is an irregular plan 18 room structure made by machine-produced decorative woodwork. Roscoe Hersey played an important role in the early development of Stillwater's lumber and mercantile development. His house reflects the commercial success of the Hersey-Staples partnership, the strong link between the St. Croix Valley and Maine capital and personalities, and the boom years of Stillwater's lumber years. Roscoe Hersey was the eldest son of Samuel F. Hersey, Isaac Staples financial partner. Roscoe Hersey moved to Minnesota in 1867, after serving in the Civil War at the age of 26 to look after his family's business. He took charge of the Lake City branch of the Hersey, Staples and Co. In 1872 he moved to Stillwater and entered the firm of Hersey, Bean and Brown, a land, lumber, merchandise firm. In 1878 he was elected and served one term as a state senator. Hersey built the house in 1879-1880 and occupied it for seven years.
Located at 626 4th Street North in Stillwater, Minnesota, William Sauntry's house might be considered a Queen Anne, but was constructed with the enthusiastic use of other architectural style elements, including Eastlake millwork, a mansard-roofed tower common to Italianate villas, and hints of the Gothic in the gable. The house reflects the Sauntry lumbering fortune and the range of architectural fashion during its construction in 1881-1883. Wiliam Sauntry, raised in New Brunswick, Canada, came to Stillwater in a second generation of St. Croix loggers and began a career in a partnership with Albert Tozer, gaining the trust of the Weyerhauser interests, and leasing stock in the St. Croix Boom company. He also built and managed the Nevers Dam and had interests in other lumbering companies, with his wealth eventually estimated at two million dollars.
