Andrew and Grace Warfield came to Bemidji about 1899 from Duluth.
Andrew Warfield bought lot 8 and 9, Blk 22 in July 1901 for $500. They were settled at this address by 1905.
Charles Scrutchin purchased the Warfield’s first house on Lake Boulevard in 1913. He had the house moved to a vacant lot on Bemidji Avenue and Ninth Street.
Probably the finest private residence to be built in Bemidji in 1913 was that of Andrew Warfield, on the lakeshore, it being a two story brick structure and costing $10,000. (Dec 26, 1913)
The Warfields lived there until they died. Andrew Warfield died in 1955; Mrs. Grace Warfield died in 1957. It then became the nurses’ dorm for the Bemidji Hospital and was named Warfield Hall.
