James J. Hill House
- Owner: James J. Hill.
He not only lived there with his family, but also servants. His family had 8 children at the time the house was built, and they then had 2 more while living there.
- Architect: Peabody and Stearns
Summit Avenue
- People That Lived There: Unknown, I couldn't find any information on the owners.
- Architects: Clarence Johnston, Edwin Lundie, LeRoy Buffington, and many others.
- Styles: Queen Anne, Italian Renaissance, Georgian, etc.
- Favorites: There was only one I personally liked, which was a Georgian style with a bunch of ivy growing on all the outside surface of it.
- Learned: I had no idea Summit Avenue even existed, so everything they presented was new to me. Especially the fact that there is a law on the houses now that you can't change anything on the outside to preserve the historical accuracy.
St. Paul Cathedral
- History: Archbishop Ireland officially bought the land for the church in 1904, in 1905 Emmanuel Louis Masquery was hired as the designer, and was pretty much finished in 1941 (however it was not officially "opened" at that point in time.)
- Interior: On the inside I noticed all of the stained glass windows, pipe organs, statues. and little sections off of the main chapel. The ceiling was even designed, and many carvings adorn the walls, pillars, ceiling, etc.
