Comment: (64.166.111.172) This is the house of my great grandfather, John Raymond Mitchell. He served as Chairman of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank from 1924 to 1933, depleting personal holdings of 24 million dollars, to depositors in his banks during the 1929 stock market

Comment: (12.75.167.152) maintained well but could use a little exterior work but not much
