- The Gale Mansion was built in 1912 by Edward Chenery Gale and Sara Bell Pillsbury. Mr. Gale was an attorney; Mrs. Gale was the daughter of Governor and Mrs. John S. Pillsbury. As patrons of the arts, the Gales were leaders in the development of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The Gales, through their European travels, developed a preference for the Italian Renaissance Revival style and commissioned Ernest Kennedy, a Minnesota architect, to design their home. Many modern choices were made: a kitchen on the first floor, a central vacuuming system, an intercom, and a maze of laundry chutes. Vestiges of these installations remain throughout the space. Edward and Sara Gale both died in 1943. In 1947 the Minneapolis Branch of the American Association of University Women approached their only son, Richard, about using the mansion as their general meeting space. It was purchased for $50,000. The Gale Mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
