Lowell Inn Gets $1M Renovation

STILLWATER, MN-Dick Anderson and Judy Anderson added two suites to the historic Lowell Inn, which had "substantial deferred maintenance" when they bought the property two years ago for $1.5 million.

STILLWATER, MN-Owners of the historic Lowell Inn completed a $1.2-million renovation of the inn that included some unusual challenges. Dick Anderson and Judy Anderson, longtime Stillwater residents who run a boat charter business on the St. Croix River, bought the 77-year-old inn more than two years ago for $1.5 million.

The property needed extensive renovation–everything from new windows from nearby Andersen Windows to new carpeting to replacing the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems, Anderson says. “I’ve had an interest in that property for a long time–fixing up old buildings, that’s what I do best,” Dick Anderson says. “We need something to do in the winter.”

Depending on his family and his riverboat crews for labor, the Andersons have bought and renovated numerous Stillwater landmarks, such as the Rivertown Inn and the Grand Banquet Hall, a former lumberyard.
