Summit Ave

Summit ave is a street in St.Paul Minnesota containing the grand and historic houses from the 19th century. In our Interior Design class, we went on a field trip to walk along the street to view these historic houses.On our walk we learned about different houses including the James J. Hill house. We were granted the opportunity to go inside the house pictured below, making it one of my favorites that we saw. My favorite part of the house was the intricately detailed staircase.

I'm drawn to darker and mysterious looking houses making this house also one of my favorites.
