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.
That is an absolutely beautiful house, one from my dreams. I'd move in in a flash.
ReplyDeleteI would have stopped to photograph it too. Very Pretty.
ReplyDeleteKate..the painting sits in an indentation protected by glass.
What a pretty place, not haunted at all to me, I could live there.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely house and setting!
ReplyDeleteThe red tree brings color into the picture, very nice !
ReplyDeleteGosh this is a beauty Kate, enhanced further by the ornate fence and glorious autumn trees.
ReplyDeletewow! just a bit eerie! but a great fence!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a beautiful house!
ReplyDeleteThe gray house makes that red tree stand out even more. Nice!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely home!
ReplyDeleteDelightful capture -- especially with the splash of autumnal color. (And, I'll put my money on this place being haunted.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful house, Kate. The flaming tree at the left really sets off the gray of the siding.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I spent some time on Cape Cod. Wellfleet has numerous houses with mansard roofs like this. You would love Wellfleet.
A beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteThe house is very pretty but that tree is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get very motivated about restarting my blog.
The orange tree out front contributes to the Halloween look of te place.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteA St Paul treasure for sure!
