Alexander Ramsey House


On a very chilly and rainy morning while looking to photograph a few of St Paul's haunted houses for a Halloween post, I saw this historic home.  Even in the grim weather, I noted how lovely it looks.  It is not one of the haunted houses I discovered, but  if you come back tomorrow I will show you not only an historic home but one that is haunted as well!!

The Alexander Ramsey House is a historic house museum in Saint Paul, Minnesota; the former residence of Alexander Ramsey, who served as the first governor of Minnesota Territory and the second governor of the state of Minnesota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Placesin 1969. It is also a contributing property to the Irvine Park Historic District.

  12. Delightful capture -- especially with the splash of autumnal color. (And, I'll put my money on this place being haunted.)

  13. What a wonderful house, Kate. The flaming tree at the left really sets off the gray of the siding.

    This summer I spent some time on Cape Cod. Wellfleet has numerous houses with mansard roofs like this. You would love Wellfleet.

  17. You happened by at a good time: bare trees that allowed you to see the house and a glorious one showing off its fall colors. What a beautiful home!
