A home for sale in Rochester Minnesota is garnering quite a bit of attention, but not for it s relation to a historical home but because of what lies beneath it. From the outside it looks like a very well kept beautifully landscaped house, so who would suspect anything?
The reason for the underground caves is that this home was once used as a pump house for the mansion up the hill. That larger home dubbed the Plumber House was built way back in 1917 and belonged to Dr. Henry Plumber and his wife Daisy. Dr. Plummer worked at Mayo clinic and is known for many innovative ideas during his practice. The main home is registered as a historical place. The city of Rochester maintains the main house.
