Buy Furniture, Accessories From Demolished Pillsbury Mansion

TWIN CITIES, MN — The historic Pillsbury mansion on Lake Minnetonka may be gone, but furniture and accessories from the estate can be bought this weekend. Items will be sold at H&B Gallery — an Uptown antique store — beginning at 10 a.m. Friday morning.

"There’s a lot of interest," manager Jonathan Campbell told the Star Tribune. "We’ve been getting calls all day long."

Items up for sale include an 18th-century English dining table and 16 Georgian-style dining chairs, the newspaper reported.

Demolition

The Pillsbury Estate, completed in 1918, was turned into dust and rubble last week. The west metro city of Orono granted a permit to demolish the iconic mansion last month.

The home had been on the market for more than a decade.

The Pillsbury family owned the grain producing-giant Pillsbury Company in Minneapolis. Patch profiled the Pillsbury home back in January. At that time, it was on sale for $7,900,000.

It's not yet clear what the current owners have planned for the land.
