The Emil J. Oberhoffer House overlooks Orchard Lake in Lakeville, Minnesota. Emil Oberhoffer was the first conductor and founder of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The home was designed by Paul Haugen who worked for Purcell and Elmslie, an architectural firm known for its renditions of Prairie School architecture. Later the home belonged to the parents of golfer Patty Berg.[2][3]
Architect Paul Haugen began his architectural career as an apprentice in Fargo, North Dakota. After moving to Minneapolis, he was influenced by the Prairie School style of architecture and ornamentation. This home was designed while he was on his own for a brief period of time around 1913. During that time he designed several residences and a school in Burnsville.[4]
