This home on 553 Harrington Road is a large 2-story Neoclassical Revival Style with a U-shaped plan. The U faces the lakeside. It was built by Franklin Muzzy Crosby on the foundation of an earlier house which burned in 1914. This is on Point Lookout. Crosby rebuilt and he did so with thick, fireproof walls for his large family of seven children. The architects were Hewitt and Brown of Minneapolis. The present owners have lived there 45 years raising their five children. They had the 3rd floor removed, survived a major fire in 1981 and added other inside changes for their family life.
