Description
Lake Peterson home at 1313 East State Street. The house was built in 1873 by its first resident, John Lake, who lived there until his death in 1907. It was purchased in 1918 by Pehr August Peterson. He donated the house to Swedish American Hospital in 1919 provided he and his wife could live there. Upon his wife's death in 1964, the house became part of the hospital. The architectural style is Victorian Gothic Revival. A distinctive feature are the decorative vergeboards under the roof eaves.
