The Coates House is a historic house in Virginia, Minnesota, United States. It was built around 1912 as one of the city's larger and finer residences. A succession of prominent people in the local lumber industry lived in it.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and social history.[3] It was nominated for demonstrating the class distinctions telegraphed by housing stock on the Iron Range at the turn of the 20th century.[2] Large houses for the managerial class provided a sharp contrast to the boarding houses and small cottages into which the period's working class population was crowded.[4]
