Description
Another gem in Winona. The Watkins Manor ... yes, the Watkins, of Watkins Vanilla. They call this the Home that Vanilla built! This house is now an assisted living facility, but you can visit and see the grand hall with the rare pipe organ.
The property is located at 175 E. Wabasha Street. THE WATKINS MANOR HOUSE �The house that vanilla built� � Paul and Florence Watkins started construction of the Manor House in 1924, with completion in 1927. Paul was the nephew of J. R. Watkins, the founder of Watkins Products and became the company�s second president in 1911. Paul and Florence traveled the world, purchasing tapestries, paintings, sculptures, stained glass medalions, chandeliers and numerous other objects of exceptional beauty, many of which can still be seen in the mansion. The Tudor-style English Manor showcases the magnificent Great Hall, home to a Steinway Grand Piano and a rare Aeolian Organ.
