Nestled in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood of Minneapolis, the B.O. Cutter House stands as a historic building in the Carpenter Gothic style. Built in 1856 by master carpenter B.O. Cutter, who was working on other buildings around the University of Minnesota, the house was originally situated on the outskirts of the campus. The exterior features hand-carved molding around the eaves.
In 1869, B.O. Cutter sold the house to John Gilfillan, an educator, banker, attorney, and U.S. representative. The house saw significant changes over the following century, including a remodel in 1943 where it was covered in stucco and an interior remodel in 1949 to accommodate the Theta Delta Chi fraternity.
The building suffered heavy damage in a 1992 fire but was subsequently restored. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and currently houses the local chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
