27 Crocus Place, also known as the J.M. Carlson House,[2] was a 1902 Queen Anne style timber-frame house in Saint Paul in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[3] [4] It was a contributing property to the Historic Hill District.[5]

It was the home of Minnesota Governor Joseph A. A. Burnquist[6] [7] where he wrote several works in the series "Minnesota and its People" during the 1920s.[8]

Despite historic preservation efforts by the city and neighbors,[9] [10] a court approved its demolition in 2015.[11] The final owners of the house, Fred and Renee Pritzker, had it demolished to build a new residence for their adult son, who has Angelman syndrome.[12] In the settlement with the city, they were required to document the historic structure before it was destroyed.[13]
