The Julius A. Coller House is a historic house in Shakopee, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1887 for Julius A. Coller I (1859–1940), a lawyer and Democratic politician who served four terms in the Minnesota Senate. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its significance in the themes of architecture and politics/government. It was nominated for its association with Coller, one of the leading citizens of his generation in Shakopee, and for being one of the best preserved houses from the period when the city took on a prominent role as seat of Scott County.

Description

The Julius A. Coller House stands on a corner lot in a residential neighborhood. It rises two and a half stories, with irregular massing, in red brick with white wood trim. Its hip roof has a gable on each façade and an eyebrow dormer in line with the front door. A screened porch wraps around the front and south side of the house.

History

The house was built in 1887. He had the wraparound porch added to the house around 1915, followed by an attached garage at the rear about 10 years later. Coller served on the University of Minnesota Board of Regents from 1924 to 1937. His son Julias A. Coller II became a prominent attorney in Shakopee, wrote a history of the city, and was still living in the house when its National Register nomination was being prepared in 1980. A 1938 New Deal-funded mural in what was then the Shakopee High School (now the Central Family Center) includes a depiction of the senior Coller speaking to James J. Hill while a young Coller II eats an ice cream cone.
