The Stevens House, "the Birthplace of Minneapolis," has a new heat pump. There's always room for improvement in an old house.

The Stevens House is thought to be the second-oldest extant wood-frame home in the Mill City.

It's now surrounded by a tall black metal fence that doesn't look bad but lacks the charm of an earlier white picket fence.

Can't be helped.
