Saint Paul: State Capital on the Mississippi Bluff
Saint Paul became the capital of Minnesota Territory in 1849 and has served as the state capital ever since. The Minnesota State Capitol, completed in 1905 and designed by Cass Gilbert, features a marble dome that is among the largest unsupported domes in the world. Summit Avenue, running west from the Cathedral of Saint Paul, is one of the best-preserved stretches of Victorian residential architecture in the United States.
The Cathedral of Saint Paul, consecrated in 1915, sits on a bluff overlooking downtown and is visible from miles away. F. Scott Fitzgerald grew up on Summit Avenue, and the house where he wrote portions of his first novel still stands at 599 Summit. The Saint Paul Winter Carnival, first held in 1886 in response to a New York reporter who called the city uninhabitable in winter, continues annually with ice sculptures and parades.
Unlike Minneapolis, which razed much of its older built environment, Saint Paul retained large portions of its pre-war commercial and residential architecture. Neighborhoods like Lowertown and Cathedral Hill have buildings dating to the 1880s. The Union Depot, a Beaux-Arts train station completed in 1923, was restored and reopened in 2012 as a multimodal transit hub.
