History of the Anderson House:
Historic Anderson House was built in three stages by Asslag Anderson, a Norwegian immigrant. After completing the dock and Anderson General Store, he built a small three-room house and a rather large summer kitchen behind the house. The store has a second-floor apartment which the family used for additional living space. In 1864 the two-story log home was constructed, a free-standing structure very close to the original house. In the early 1870’s the two homes were connected, a front porch was added, and a second story added above the first sunroom is the only part of the current configuration not built by the Anderson’s. Originally constructed as a working greenhouse in the 1960’s; then in the 1980’s, it was remodeled into a four seasons room.
With the completion of the house, the second floor boasted ten bedrooms and the house become one of Ephraim’s first guest houses. A grand piano graced the living room and the second floor had a bathroom, only used by guests, the family used the outdoor privy.
Anderson House is steeped in history and once again joyously welcoming guests!
