Some History of the Peterson Art Furniture Co.
by Susan Hvistendahl
Peterson Art Furniture was founded in 1905 in Faribault, Minn., by John Peterson, who was born in Denmark in 1871 and emigrated to the United States when he was 13 years old. He was employed as a wood carver and cabinet maker in Massachusetts before coming west to work in a furniture store in Minneapolis. In 1895, he joined his brother Andrew in Faribault and worked as a carver and designer with the Hutchinson-Stockton Furniture Company until 1901, when he started a furniture company of his own in Waterville, Minn. In 1905, he returned to Faribault to establish the Peterson Art Furniture Company at 708 N.W. 5th Street. The company acquired other furniture factories, including Daisy Woodcraft, North Star Furniture Co., Waterville Furniture Co. and the Faribault Furniture Co., and at one time manufacturing took place at six locations, four in Faribault and two in Waterville. Later all were moved to 28 N.E. 4th Street.
