The Comstock House is a historic house museum in Moorhead, Minnesota, United States. It is the restored home of U.S. Congressman and businessman Solomon Comstock with its original furnishings. The house is run by a partnership between the Minnesota Historical Society and city of Moorhead.[2]
The house has two stories and eleven rooms and was designed by architecture firm Kees and Fisk. Construction was completed between 1882 and 1883, and the architecture is a combination of Queen Anne style and that of English designer Charles Eastlake.[3]
In 1965 George and Frances Comstock gave the house to the Minnesota Historical Society, and starting in 1976, the house was restored to its original late 19th century style.[3]
