I added a picture, but it really doesn't look too good -- I took it on a day when it was starting to rain, so the colors are off and the sky is unnaturally bright. Also, the rain sort of blurs things. I'll try to get out there again and take another photo when I can. -- Elkman 03:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
This house was NOT called the William Gray Purcell house. That title was given to the house built in 1907 across the alley on Lake of the Isles Boulevard. The correct title for this house is "Edna S. Purcell house." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Organicus ( talk • contribs) 20:03, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Since the rest of the P&E buildings that are being added to Wikipedia use the original title block name, it seems to me that the Edna S. Purcell residence should be the reference, both for consistency and to respect the woman for whom it was created. The Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission citation is simply a blatant error in their usage. The complete commission list of the firm with job titles as they appear on the original working drawings and office records was published as an appendix to my P&E monograph in "Purcell and Elmslie, Architects," in Art and Life on the Upper Mississippi, 1890-1914: Minnesota 1900 (University of Delaware Press, 1994). -- User:Organicus —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:59, 4 January 2009 (UTC).
Hello! I'm new to Wikipedia, but I joined hoping to greatly expand this article. I'm currently an intern at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and I've been asked to contribute to this page, partially in celebration of the house's centennial. I have a draft in my user sandbox, and would appreciate any suggestions or feedback, particularly from past contributors of this article. I'm also working to add some photographs. -- MJBredeson 15:55, 8th of August, 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 20:49, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for the input! I will write a note on the Talk pages you suggested. My above link has now been corrected, and you should be able to reach the sandbox draft as it was last week. I deleted it today after making edits on this page, but I've put the draft back up for reference. MJBredeson ( talk) 19:24, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
