City Lifestyle Feature: Exploring Charles Stinson’s architectural artistry on Lake Minnetonka
“Acclaimed architect Charles Stinson has designed projects all over the country and abroad, yet Minnesota remains close to his heart, especially with his roots growing up in Red Wing, MN. ‘There is something about the whole culture here. I love the variety of the seasons. All of it. The snow, the rain, the longer days and shorter days. I even enjoy the cloudy days. People just feel more connected to nature here. I’ve seen and lived in other places, but they don’t hold me like Minnesota does.’”
