One of Our Boys!



481 Laurel Avenue, St Paul, Minnesota
is
the birthplace on September 24, 1896 of novelist

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

This residence is designated as a Literary Landmark by
Friends of Libraries, U.S.A.


In 2006 I did a photographic series of some of the landmarks in the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I think enough time has passed to repeat it because some of you may not have been part of CDP eleven years ago.

For the next few days, I will show you places where he lived, went to school during his early years, and where he hung out. He was born in this building to Edward and Mollie McQuillan Fitzgerald.
