LOUIS PRINCE CHUTE - Vol III, pg 224
Louis Prince Chute is president of the Chute Realty Company and as such is at
the head of what is today one of the oldest real estate concerns in years of
continuous existence in Minneapolis. Two-thirds of a century ago his father, Dr.
Samuel Hewes Chute, entered the real estate field here and throughout the
intervening period the family name has figured in connection with many of the
most important property transfers that have been made. Louis P. Chute was born
in this city October 17, 1868, and while spending his youthful days in the home
of his parents, Dr. Samuel Hewes and Helen E. A. (Day) Chute, he pursued his
early education under private tutorship, while later he pursued a classical and
law course in Notre Dame University of Indiana, being there graduated with the
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1890 and that of LL. B. in 1892. The following year
was spent as a law student in the University of Minnesota, which conferred upon
him the LL. M. degree. He was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1892 and admitted
to practice in all the courts of Minnesota in the succeeding year. He practiced
law, however, for only a limited time, con­centrating his attention more and
more largely upon the real estate business in Minneapolis and to some extent in
St. Paul, in which enterprise his father had embarked so many years before as a
partner in the firm of Chute Brothers. In the year of 1895 the firm of L. P. &
F. B. Chute was organized to practice law but later on they assumed control of
the family properties and real estate, which had before been handled by their
father and their uncle, Richard Chute. These claiming more and more of their
attention, they gave up their law practice and today the Chute Realty Company
sustains the high reputation that has ever been associated with the family name
in connection with real estate operations in this City.
Throughout the period in which America aided in promoting the military
activities against Germany, Mr. Chute was identified with local war activities
as a representa­tive of the National Guard and as a civilian. He is a member of
St. Anthony's Com­mercial Club, Minneapolis Club, the Minneapolis Athletic Club,
the Lafayette Club, the Minnetonka Yacht Club and the Automobile Club. He is
also a member of the Knights of Columbus and his membership relations further
extend to the Sons of the American Revolution and the Society of Fine Arts.
