Project Description

The Magic Chef Mansion was designed by Ernst Janssen for the founder of the Quick Meal & Magic Chef Stove Company, Charles Stockstrom, in 1908. It has more than 30 rooms, plus a 70-foot-long bowling alley on the lower level that is original to the home. By the time the current owners purchased it in 1990, the Magic Chef Mansion had fallen into disrepair. They quickly began renovating and restoring the home back to its original glory. It is open for public tours and is frequently rented out for parties, showers, tea parties, fundraisers, and weddings. Photos courtesy of Magic Chef Mansion, LLC.
