Albert Lea sits between Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake in Freeborn County, and its housing came in two main waves. The houses on the streets near the lakes and around the Broadway district date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when a masonry fireplace was standard in the principal rooms. The postwar ranches and split levels that filled in around them often included a family room fireplace. With a Minnesota heating season this long, a hearth is a working feature. CENTURY 21 Atwood covers southern Minnesota. Compare the region on the communities page.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Where in Albert Lea are fireplace houses concentrated?

- Wood or gas fireplaces?
- Both. Older houses generally have masonry wood-burning fireplaces, while later construction and renovations often use gas inserts that require less maintenance.
