Summit Avenue Tour Over-View

...................................................

We started out our tour of Summit Avenue at the James J. Hill house. Then we just started walking down the street and got brief background on the houses as we passed by.

When we walked by the Stewart Driscoll House, the one with all the vines, the current owner of the house let our tour group take a look inside. It had a very elegant interior.

As we kept walking by the other houses, I continued to take pictures of the houses that stuck out at me or that I just enjoyed. Some of the houses we saw had recognizable features that we talked about in class such as bay windows, dormers, gambrel roof, a portico, and more. We could also identify the housing styles on summit avenue. We saw a lot of Queen Anne, some Greek and Colonial Revival, and a few Tudors. Over-all, I thought the tour of Summit Avenue was very interesting and the houses we got to see were very unique, beautiful, and hold a lot of history in them.
