EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the residence of Cadwallader Colden Washburn (1818-1882) in Minneapolis, USA, around the turn of the 20th century. Washburn was an accomplished American businessman, politician, and soldier, best known for his role in founding what would later become the renowned company, General Mills, and his significant contributions to the government of Wisconsin. The image showcases the grandeur of Washburn's home, with its impressive facade and well-manicured lawn. The lantern on the porch adds an inviting touch, suggesting a warm and welcoming environment. Washburn's personal achievements are reflected in the stately appearance of his residence, a testament to his success and standing in society during this era. Born in New York, Washburn moved to Wisconsin in 1835 and quickly established himself as a prominent figure in the community. He served in the Wisconsin State Senate and was later appointed as the first Commissioner of Public Instruction for the state. In 1856, Washburn founded the Washburn Milling Company, which would eventually evolve into General Mills. His political and business acumen continued to shape the region, making him a significant figure in both the public and private sectors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of Minneapolis and the influential life of Cadwallader Colden Washburn. The image is part of the Boswell collection, captured during an American Trip around the year 1900.
