The Woodbury Fisk House (also known as Yarmolovich residence and the John A. Armstrong House) is a large home in the Marcy Holmes neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A native of Maine, John A. Armstrong came to Saint Anthony via the California gold rush, using his capital to build a lumbering operation in the Rum River valley. He also became sheriff of Hennepin County in 1860, the year in which this house was probably begun.[3] Woodbury Fisk later obtained the home. He ran a hardware business serving the lumber trade in the early years of Saint Anthony. He was a partner in the hardware firm of Cross, Pillsbury & Fisk with George P. Cross and John Sargent Pillsbury, his brother-in-law. He later joined Pillsbury in the flour milling business.[4][5]
