Pine Tree Lumber Company Office Building

The building is located in a wooded area on the east shore of the Mississippi River, about a half-mile north of Little Falls' commercial center. It faces east on First Street, one of the major roads in the town. A spur track and bridge of the Northern Pacific Railway can be found on the northern boundary of the building. This rail line served the company's processing facilities on both sides of the river. Immediately north of the spur line and house was the east shore lumber mill. The house has a two-story rectangular body constructed of brick. It is built on a raised granite foundation and covered with a hipped roof that features a flat top in the center. Curved dormers, referred to as "eyebrow dormers", are present on the north and south sides of the roof and provide light to the attic. Flat arched windows come in pairs and are placed in pier-defined bays. Centered in the rear facade, a two-story extension measuring 15 by 25 feet is present. Enclosed porches at the entrances of the front and back of the building, along with the northwest corner of the building. Many of the building's elements are symmetrical, including cornices, lintels, and sills. These elements also emphasize the Italianate and classical revival architecture that ever present throughout the area's commercial buildings. The dominant features are the oversized windows of the building, which further emphasize the commercial use of the building rather than resident use. In 1927, however, the building was sold and the interior offices were turned into apartments.[3]
