About this home
Nestled in the heart of Saint Paul's beloved Irvine Park Historic District, the Wright–Prendergast House offers a rare opportunity to own one of the city's earliest surviving residences. Originally built in 1851 by carpenter Isaac P. Wright, the home began as a modest territorial-era dwelling before being dramatically transformed in 1906 for James Prendergast. The renovation introduced an elegant Neoclassical façade with a commanding two-story Ionic portico while preserving the home's remarkable historic character. Today, the property stands as a contributing resource within the National Register-listed Irvine Park Historic District and represents more than 175 years of Saint Paul history.
Inside, generations of thoughtful stewardship have left an extraordinary legacy of craftsmanship. During the 1906 renovation, architectural treasures salvaged from the demolished Norman Kittson Mansion—including marble fireplaces, stained-glass windows, and Waterford crystal chandeliers—were incorporated into the home, creating interiors of exceptional distinction. The residence remained in the Prendergast family for more than a century, preserving an authenticity seldom found in historic properties. Set amid one of Saint Paul's most picturesque neighborhoods, the Wright–Prendergast House offers not only architectural significance but also the chance to become the next steward of a landmark that reflects the city's evolution from territorial settlement to thriving capital.
Improvements undertaken by current owners include: kitchen gut-to-studs renovation, boiler pipes replaced, asbestos abatement, landscaping, terracing, drain tile, primary suite bathroom & laundry addition, gas line run to primary suite fireplace, chimney rebuilt & lined, & exterior siding, fascia, porch & columns restoration & paint....
