James J. Hill house- The James J. Hill was built in 1891 and the Hill family owned it.
James J. hill was born on September 16, 1838, in Ontario, Canada.
Mark Fitzpatrick built the Hill house.









Summit Ave, St Paul-  Only wealthy people lived and live on Summit Ave.

Architects- Mark Fitzpatrick, Herman Kretz, and Cass Gilbert. 
Common house styles-  Queen Ann or Italian Villa
My favorite house was the James J. Hill house because it was huge and built beautifully.
I learned that James J. Hill didn't donate any money to the St Paul Cathedral 


    

St Paul cathedral-  The cathedral was built in 1906 to 1915.  It holds up to 3,000 people.
Inside the cathedral is tons of stain class windows and lots of seating.
