Built in 1904 in a fairly common style, then probably modified to include the enlarged, off-center porch. What a lovely garden! #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #curbappeal #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Midway, Saint Paul)

Though it's frigid out right now, here's a photo from a few months ago of a lovely pre-1900 house in Frogtown. This area filled in around streetcar lines on Dale Street and Thomas Avenue; this house is near both, and is fairly large for its size and area. #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #curbappeal #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Frogtown, Saint Paul)

Came across this striking Midway house in the midst of being repainted. Isn't that yellow striking? (Not wild about the black.) Built 1900 or likely earlier. #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #curbappeal #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Midway, Saint Paul)

This house in Saint Paul's Hamline-Midway, built 1911, has an unusually elaborate cast-block masonry exterior, including a face up top (zoom in to see). Cast block houses are uncommon (though not exactly rare) in Saint Paul, but few have the level of ornament shown here. Whoever lived here could not have been a shy man! #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #curbappeal #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Midway, Saint Paul)

Another lovely house from the Midway, this one built in 1910. The gardens on this one are just glorious in summer. I wish mine were half as nice! #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Midway, Saint Paul)

The former East Side Commercial Club, built 1907, now a private residence. The building stands just off Payne Avenue, the commercial heart of Saint Paul's East Side which is currently being considered for a new historic district. #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Payne-Phalen, Saint Paul)

The Adolph Bloom house, built either 1890 or 1894, a wonderful Queen Anne mansion which Larry Millett once said "fairly shouts for attention." The siding has been replaced, as has the roof (it used to be grey; who knows the original), and the second-story door is all wrong, but there's plenty of original detail left. It's on Mount Ida Street in Railroad Island; across Rivoli Street is a commanding view of downtown and the Cathedral. #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Payne-Phalen, Saint Paul)

A Richardsonian Romanesque duplex built by E. G. Anderson, 1889. Anderson was a builder active in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood, then the center of Saint Paul's Swedish community. This duplex was built at the top of one of the area's steep hills, giving it a prized view. Note the green window accents, colored to match the steep copper roof. #stpaul #saintpaul #minnesota #twincities #preservestp #historic #oldhouselove #houseporn #houseportrait #architecture #archidaily #archi_ologie #casasecasarios #capturesaintpaul #capturemn #onlyinmn #minnstagramers #stp #thisplacematters (at Payne-Phalen, Saint Paul)
