The Dr. Albert M. and Evelyn M. Brandt House on E. Ave. B in Bismarck, North Dakota was built in 1928. It has also been known as the Francis and Leona Larson House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2000; the listing included two contributing buildings and a contributing site. [2]

Its NRHP nomination asserted it is "one of the best examples of the Tudor Revival period (1890-1940)" in Bismarck. [1] The house was built in 1928 for Dr. Albert M. Brandt, a prominent local pediatrician and obstetrician, and his wife Evelyn M. Brandt. [3] In 1948 the Brandts sold the house to the Mrs. Underhill, who sold the house to Francis and Leona Larson in 1952. The Larsons owned the house the longest, from 1952 to 1997. [3] Francis Larson (1917-1918) was a bank president and manager of the JC Penney Store in Bismarck and was active in various civic and church organizations. The Larson often hosted their neighbors, Governor Norman Brunsdale and Governor John Davis at dinner parties at the house in the 1950s.

St. Georges Episcopal Memorial Church Historic church in North Dakota, United States

St. George's Episcopal Memorial Church, a historic Episcopal church in Bismarck, North Dakota's capital, is unique for its construction incorporating stained glass from English churches bombed in World War II into its own stained-glass windows. It is located in the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. The building, completed in 1949, replaced an early one dating to 1881 in the Dakota Territory, prior to statehood in 1889. The original building was built on railroad-donated land in the first decade of the city's growth. The church needed more space by the 1930s but was unable to erect a larger building until after World War II. The original building was moved and repurposed as a museum at Camp Hancock State Historic Site. The newer building is notable for being constructed of pumice concrete and its unique stained-glass windows. The windows were made in England by Barton, Kinder, and Alderson, and the majority of them contained pieces of glass that were salvaged from dozens of damaged churches in southeast England during World War II. The glass studio documented the lineage of each window, with some made with glass collected from churches built in the Middle Ages.
