summit avenue印象

The architecture on the avenue is primarily from the victorian era. If you are visiting the twin cities it is must see. Rare to find so many beautiful mansions in one place. I like to imagine what the lives of the residents were like once upon a time. Point of interest: F. Scott Fitzgerald's home is along the avenue.

The grand mansions of Summit Avenue are fun to see even in the winter. This is one of the grandest streets in the country and is worth an hour, or several hours if you're walking, to see how the other half lived, and lives still to this day.

Summit is simply a beautiful street lined with old mansions, all that have been kept up very well. You can get a nice view of different styles and admire this grand old homes. You drive down the street but I recommend getting out and taking a walk.

Best way to experience Summit Avenue? On foot.Plan for a beautiful, sunny autumn day, park your car somewhere near St Paul's Cathedral and begin ambulating east. Allow time to wander from side-to-side of the street to get full views of the many architectural styles to be seen on either side of the street. You'll also want time in that first 10-15 block long stretch to wander onto streets north and south of Summit, there are beautiful, historically-rooted homes throughout that area.Wander over to Grand Avenue for lunch (or dinner), or keep going until you cross the Mississippi and finish your walk by seeing St. Mary's Chapel at the Saint Paul Seminary, then sit and take the views over the Mississippi as you wait for your cab to pick you up and return you to your car! (Recommendation: After your walk, have dinner at Moscow on the Hill or W.A Frost & Co. in the Cathedral Neighborhood)

If you are a fan of American late 19th and early 20th century mansions, I don't think there is a finer street in the US for viewing so many of these. Most cities that had a "millionaire row" saw them demolished through the 20th century. Somehow St. Paul's was saved. It's worth a drive or walk down this street and it's in close proximity to all the shops and dining on Grand Ave, so not out of the way if you are in St. Paul.

Beautiful, and I do mean beautiful homes lining this street for miles. Virtually no traffic when we drove through and could take our time. Road leads right to the giant cathedral overlooking downtown. Stunning display of homes.

Summit Avenue of Saint Paul is for anyone visiting Saint Paul, MN. If you're interested at all in late 19th Century/early 20th Century architecture or history, this is a must see. This 2-mile walk or drive is worth the effort as it contains the rich culture and history of St. Paul. You could start at the St. Paul Cathedral and drive/walk west to Mississippi River Boulevard. I suggest that you start from the Cathedral, you will witness passage of time historically as well as architecturally. If you find during your tour, you need a refreshment or lunch, then take a left on Victoria and go one block south to Grand Avenue. All of Grand Avenue offers several choices of restaurants and shopping. But, Summit Avenue represents "old" as well as "new" found wealth. It would be unfortunate to pass up a Summit Avenue tour.

This is where the rich and prominent families built homes to showcase their wealth, power, and sometimes--good taste. The summer time is perhaps the best time to stroll Summit, but the Christmas decorations are special as well.From the Cathedral to Lexington Avenue, the memories that dwell there would tell stories for several lifetimes.

One gorgeous house after another. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the writer, lived on Summit when he was young. There seemed to be lots of houses for sale to those who could afford them.

Have walked the length of this area every Spring and Summer for years. Lived near Milton and Summit many years ago and still remember the area with fondness. A visit to the James J. Hill House and Alexander Ramsey House are also must stops. Recently drove through with out of town visitors and enjoyed the splendor of the urban mansions and nearby shops and restaurants.
