The Magic Door is a stately, three story Victorian located on a spacious corner lot, just four blocks from downtown Northfield, Minnesota.  It was built in 1899 by Henry Boe, the owner of one of Northfield's first hardware stores.  The house has been both a private residence and a triplex before we purchased it in February 2001 to create our bed & breakfast. The Magic Door Bed & Breakfast
Northfield, Minnesota
