A Tour of Summit Avenue: Other Edition

On Wednesday, we took a look at some of the beyond beautiful stone houses on Summit Avenue in St. Paul.  Today, we will be looking at houses and buildings built with stucco or siding or a mixture that stand tall and proud along the same street.  If you liked the stone houses, you should equally love the houses below.

Interesting – I wonder what they use the now closed up carport for.  Maybe an outdoor sitting area? DSC_0423 My dream house – look at the drama and detail around the windows on the third floor!DSC_0415 This photo should give you an idea of how massive the average home on this street is.

A Tour of Summit Avenue: Stone Edition

Before the previous winter (in other words before October 2009), I went out and photographed the beautiful Summit Avenue in St. Paul.  I just gave you a taste of the amazing beauty that can be found on this street, so I am back in the new year to give you a better understanding of what Summit Avenue is all about.  If you are looking for a few solid miles of gorgeous house after gorgeous house, then you’ve come to the right place.  Since I took so many pictures, I have narrowed them into two groups: stone houses and other.  Because Summit Ave. is full of incredibly expensive historic homes, it’s not wonder that majority of them are made of stone, so we will start with this first dominating group.  Don’t worry, just because all of the following homes are made of stone doesn’t mean they don’t differ in many ways.  You will find many different styles in the following images.

I apologize in advance for the sometimes blurry or wonky photos – I am still learning to take decent photos while in the car (don’t worry I wasn’t the one driving).

Neighborhood Tour: Highland Along The Mississippi

I have decided since my last neighborhood tour that I would like to make this some sort of installment on my blog. I don’t know if it will be every week or every other week, it all kind of depends on when I get to spend time with my boyfriend, San, because he has the wheels. I really like touring neighborhoods though and I think people like reading about them, so whenever I can I will be sure to blog about
