Summit Avenue is St. Paul's most renowned street, a mansion row that extends for nearly five miles through the western half of the city. It plays an essential role in what might be called the city's sense of self. St. Paulites take great pride in the avenue, and its name conjures up images of huge houses, monumental churches, wide green lawns, and a refined and gracious way of life."

The Stuart Driscoll House shown here was built in 1858 with additions in 1910 and 1918, an Italian villa-style mansion with much Classical Revival updating.

ReplyDeleteI love Summit Ave! I always take visitors for a drive there when I go back to MN. And there's a name from my past - years ago, when I was young, I babysat for Larry Millet's kids. He lived diagonally behind us for a while when I was growing up.
