E. H. Hobe House-Solheim
The E. H. Hobe House or Solheim (Norwegian for "Home of the Sun") was built in 1897 by Engelbrecht H. Hobe, a Norwegian immigrant, who worked for the newspaper Nordvesten, was a lumber dealer, steam-ship agent, and who became Vice-Consul, then Consul to the Norwegian-Swedish Kingdoms. The Victorian home was visited by Swedish King Gustav V and Crown Prince Olav and Princess Märtha of Norway. In 1918, Hobe purchased the Phillip J. Reilly house in St. Paul (565 Dayton Avenue), and thereafter used Solheim primarily as a summer home.[2] The estate on Bald Eagle Lake was designed by Minneapolis architect Carl F. Struck.[3]
