Holt
House
Located 1 mile north of Granite Falls, MN, Holt
House was built in 1884 by William H. Holt.  It is
one of the rare examples of Orson Fowler's
octagon house fad. Though some changes have
been made, many of house's original features
remain - woodwork, marble fireplace, and the
remains of a dumb waiter in the basement.
