Blaisdell Manor has a history as interesting and vital as its present. The mansion was built in 1915 for the Bovey family, early Minnesota lumber barons. The Boveys built several homes in the Whittier neighborhood, all characterized by their stately front steps with pillars. The manor was originally acquired by the Lee family, who earned a place in Minnesota lore as the inventors of Lavoris mouthwash. In the 1930s, the Windus family took advantage of the beauty and romance of the Georgian architecture.
