Museum Description
Danish immigrant Niels Petersen settled in Tempe after sailing the high seas as a merchant marine.  He built this Queen Anne style Victorian home as a wedding present for his second wife, Susanna, in 1892.  Take a free tour of the house and enjoy the stained glass windows, hand-stenciled wall paper, gilded picture rails and much more.
