Eastcliff (mansion)

Eastcliff is a 20-room house overlooking the Mississippi River in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States, which serves as the official residence of the president of the University of Minnesota system. It was first built in 1922 by local lumber magnate Edward Brooks Sr. and donated to the university by the Brooks family in 1958, beginning its service as the president's official residence in 1960 when O. Meredith Wilson took the position. In 2000, the home was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Today, it is the most-visited public residence in the state (outpacing the Minnesota Governor's Residence), often hosting events five days a week. Eastcliff hosts 150+ events and 8,000 guests each year.

In July 2024, the University of Minnesota Board of Regents voted to recommend that the University continue to preserve and enhance the historic Eastcliff residence with private philanthropy funding through the University of Minnesota Foundation. The University of Minnesota Foundation seeks to raise $10.5M for immediate operations and capital improvements as well as establish an endowment that will be used to cover annual operating expenses in the future.
