The Fillebrown House, built in 1879 for St. Paul businessman Charles P. Noyes, is a rare example of American Picturesque architecture, distinguished by carved wood and colored glass and standing as one of the few surviving structures from White Bear Lake's golden resort era. During the summers from 1870 until 1910, thousands of pleasure seekers flocked to the fashionable resort town to enjoy cool breezes and bathe in waters reputed to possess healing powers. Large colonnaded hotels and fine summer homes lined Lake Avenue, airy pavilions dotted the shore, and excursion boats cruised regularly across the lake. Helen and Arthur Fillebrown, who lived in the house from 1906 until 1978, presented it to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society for preservation, and the site is included in the National Register of Historic Places.
