Facts and practical information

The George R. Newell House, also known as Chateau LaSalle, is a historic house in the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhood of Minneapolis. It was originally built for Sumner T. McKnight, a businessman who had interests in lumber and real estate. McKnight sold it almost immediately to George R. Newell, one of the founders in 1870 of the grocery firm Stevens, Morse and Newell. When Newell died in 1921, his son L.B. Newell inherited the company and changed its name to SuperValu. In later years the Chateau was owned by the Freerks family and run as an apartment complex. ()
