New Ulm was founded in 1854 by German settlers and built in brick, and the older housing stock on the terraces above the river reflects that with masonry foundations and full basements laid up in local stone or brick. Those spaces were built for storage, canning and the furnace, and many still read that way. The postwar and newer houses on the higher ground and toward the edges of town have poured walls and finish more readily, some with walkout access on the slope. CENTURY 21 Atwood covers the Minnesota River valley. Compare Mankato on the Mankato basement page.
