McCormack’s fascinating account of the history of the Commissioner James McDonough, chairman Commissioner Susan Haigh Ohouse that stands at 260 Summit Avenue, known to many St. Paul residents as the Louis Hill Commissioner Tony Bennett House. Today Richard and Nancy Nicholson and their family live there and have restored the Commissioner Rafael Ortega house to the splendor that it had in the days when the Hills lived in the house, while also adapting Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt it to the conveniences of contemporary living. What emerges from Eileen McCormack’s research Commissioner Janice Rettman Commissioner Jan Wiessner is a glimpse of a bygone era of St. Paul’s elite and of the personality of the home the Hill family built.

  • St. Paul Walking Tour
    Cass Gilbert Society Walking Tour Fall 2004 CASS GILBERT SOCIETY WALKING TOUR, FALL 2004 This walking tour has been adapted by Marjorie Pearson from the tours prepared for the Cass Gilbert Society by Tom Blanck and Charles Locks in 1999 and 2000 and is based on their copyrighted material. This tour focuses on ten houses and two churches designed by Cass Gilbert. Also included are the home of his partner, James Knox Taylor, and the home of his chief draftsman and protege Thomas Holyoke. Several other buildings and sites that have personal or professional connections with Gilbert are noted. The tour begins at the intersection of Summit Avenue and Portland Avenue by the statue of Nathan Hale. Looking northeast from the statue of Nathan Hale is: 76 Western Avenue North, James Knox Taylor residence. Taylor was Gilbert's partner from 1884 to 1892, served as Supervising Architect of the Treasury from 1898 to 1912, and was head of the Department of Architecture at MIT from 1912 to 1914. The house has been remodeled, and simplified since Taylor’s residence. The Colonial Revival trim on the upper-level front windows and the Queen Anne sash on stairwell window on the north side are details indicative of Taylor's era. Walking east on Summit on the left is: Cochran Park (1924). Among the last works of Thomas Holyoke, Cochran Park was designed the year before he died. The fountain, landscaping materials, curving paths, and the placement of the shelter are inspired by the City Beautiful movement. The shelter, with its corner quoins, tracery, beamed ceiling, and slate roof, might be described as Beaux-Arts.
