Paul Mueller Studio
4835 Bryant Avenue South
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55419-5358

Purcell, Feick & Elmslie, 1910

Paul Mueller was a landscape architect who commission PF&E to design a studio for his young practice. George Elmslie produced this compact design, which like the Powers House and the demolished Decker House, has a prominent octagonal element. The garage was a later addition.

Of related interest is the half-timbered house that Mueller built for himself immediately east, across the block at 4844 Aldrich Avenue South. Purcell dismissed the result with the pithy comment, “The Charm Fled, to England Back.”
