Field Trip

The James J. Hill house was once the biggest (and most expensive) house in Minnesota. It of course belonged to James J. Hill. The house cost around $931,000 to build in 1891. It is a National Historic landmark in St. Paul, Minnesota. James J. Hill was the builder of The Great Northern Railway. He died in 1916, and now the house is a historic landmark that is operated by the Minnesota Historical Society.

Once getting to the James J. Hill House, we toured Summit Avenue. Which I have seen countless times before. I feel as though the houses on Summit Ave. are beyond beautiful. I love Victorian era houses. I especially Queen Ann homes. Mainly because I love the "Rapunzel" towers that grace the side of these homes.

The last place visited was International Market Square. Which is an extremely good place to get up on all the new trends out there in the world. Though most of the show rooms you need an actual Interior Designer to go with you in order to actually get in rooms. But it is a great place if you are really serious about decorating a room in your house. I Suggest going here if you want to remodel your kitchen. It's the best place for that.
