Built around 1920 by A. C. Weinholz, this small building was part of Excelsior's long role as a gateway to recreational activity on Lake Minnetonka. It originally stood about 70 feet from its present location and served as a ticket booth for streetcar boats outside The Blue Line Restaurant. In the 1940's it was used as a bayside concession stand, and later it served as a kiosk at the Excelsior Amusement Park until the park closed in 1973. Excelsior resident Annemarie Stueck kept the building in her yard until 1989, when she donated it to the Excelsior Chamber of Commerce for historic preservation. Excelsior businessman Bob Bolles stored the structure until 1996, when its restoration by Bolles Construction became the centerpiece of a cooperative community project to enhance and beautify the Port of Excelsior.
