Theodore Wirth House–Administration Building

The Theodore Wirth House is a house in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that was home to Theodore Wirth, an architect of the Minneapolis park system, and also served as the administration building for the park system.

The house was recognized for Wirth's status as an international figure in the field of park design, for its role in bringing Wirth to Minneapolis, and for the work he did in the offices where he designed or redesigned the Minneapolis parks.

His employer at the time, the city of Hartford, Connecticut, provided Wirth and his family a mansion in Elizabeth Park.

Minneapolis did not have a home to provide, and as a civil servant, Wirth was unable to replace that benefit.

During the process of negotiations, Loring agreed that the park board would build a home for Wirth.
